Cisco and Nvidia Expand Secure AI Factory to Rack-Scale Architecture

Cisco and Nvidia have expanded their Secure AI Factory to rack-scale architecture, enabling enterprises to deploy artificial intelligence across their entire infrastructure.

The rack-scale era offers greater full-stack operational capabilities for customers, with integrated systems beyond 200 kilowatts per rack supporting reasoning, agentic AI, and trillion-parameter training.

Nvidia Spectrum-X switch silicon is paired with a Cisco operating system to enable the use of Nvidia Cloud Partner-compliant reference architectures and Cisco Silicon One-based architectures.

Cisco's Nexus One networking management plane integrates silicon, systems, software, and operating models with embedded security and observability. The platform also includes the Cisco Cloud Control operations platform for agentic IT.
