Today, Cisco revealed its plans to deepen its partnership with Nvidia to deliver cutting-edge AI technology solutions to businesses. While enterprises understand the critical role AI plays in driving growth, many are still in the early stages of adoption, grappling with the technical complexities and security challenges of building AI-ready data centers. This expanded collaboration is designed to offer businesses more flexibility and options as they work to support the growing demand for AI workloads, ensuring high-performance, low-latency, and energy-efficient connectivity within data centers, across clouds, and to users.

The Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, powered by both Cisco and Nvidia silicon, will serve as the backbone for a variety of enterprise AI workloads. By ensuring seamless interoperability between the networking architectures of both companies, Cisco and Nvidia are focusing on meeting customers' demand for simplified, end-to-end solutions. The expanded partnership aims to help businesses maximize their AI infrastructure investments through a unified architecture, enabling them to use their current management tools and processes across both front-end and back-end networks.

“Enterprises are under immense pressure to deploy AI quickly and effectively, and many leaders struggle to justify the investment while balancing the risks,” said Chuck Robbins, Chair and CEO, Cisco. “Together, Cisco and Nvidia are partnering to remove barriers for customers and ensure they can optimise their infrastructure investments to unlock the power of AI.”

“Advancing at lightspeed, AI will revolutionise every industry,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, Nvidia. “Nvidia Spectrum-X is Ethernet enhanced and supercharged for AI. Together with Cisco’s enterprise platforms and global reach, we can help companies worldwide build state-of-the-art Nvidia infrastructure as they race to transform with AI.”
