Cisco Bolsters Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA Partnership
Cisco has announced an expansion of its Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA through a partnership with Supermicro. This move aims to bring high-density, liquid and air-cooled compute to Cisco's industry-leading full-stack, secure AI infrastructure architecture for enterprises, neoclouds, and sovereign clouds.
According to Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, 'We are at the beginning of one of the largest datacenter buildouts in history.' He emphasized that speed only counts if it comes with control of data, managed token costs, and real ROI. This partnership is designed to provide enterprises and neoclouds with full-stack infrastructure that can get into production faster and generate more value from every watt.
The expanded Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA offers NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) compliant solutions for neocloud and sovereign cloud customers. Cisco will offer Supermicro liquid- and air-cooled systems, giving customers access to rack-scale and dense GPU systems - validated and sold as part of the broader Cisco AI infrastructure portfolio.
The partnership also enables customers to easily manage complex, high-density AI clusters alongside non-AI workloads. Additionally, customers can deploy rack-to-fabric liquid cooling, featuring Cisco liquid-cooled AI networking systems alongside Supermicro's liquid-cooled servers.
