Cisco and NVIDIA Partner to Accelerate AI Adoption in Enterprises
Cisco and NVIDIA have announced plans to expand their partnership, with the aim of providing AI technology solutions to enterprises. The partnership will focus on providing businesses with the flexibility and choice needed to meet the growing demand for high performance, low latency, and power efficient connectivity within data centers, clouds, and users.
Simplifying AI Deployment for Enterprises
The partnership between the two companies will enable interoperability between their networking architectures. This will deliver enterprises with simplified, full-stack solutions, optimizing AI infrastructure investments. The combination of Cisco Silicon One and the NVIDIA Spectrum X Ethernet networking platform will form the foundation for AI workloads in enterprises, enabling customers to manage both front-end and back-end networks with a common architecture and existing management tools.
With the integration of Cisco's enterprise platforms and NVIDIA's Spectrum X platform, enterprises will gain access to key features such as adaptive routing, telemetry, and low latency. Additionally, Cisco's broader networking and security portfolio, including the Splunk data platform, will ensure secure AI deployments.
Moving Projects to Full Deployment
Cisco and NVIDIA are making it easier for enterprises to move AI projects from prototype to full deployment through simplification. These solutions will address key challenges such as congestion management and load balancing, which are essential for AI workloads to scale securely.
As part of their expanded collaboration, Cisco will develop data center switches with the NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet platform. This open ecosystem approach gives businesses flexibility and more choices when standardizing on the Spectrum-X platform. With the integration of both Cisco and NVIDIA switch silicon architectures, enterprises will benefit from industry-leading technologies under one management fabric.
The alliance also seeks to enable companies to speed up AI adoption through a full range of solutions that optimize AI workloads in enterprise data centers. Through Cisco and NVIDIA's collaboration, enterprises will be able to better leverage the full potential of AI technologies.
