Cisco Expands Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA

Cisco has expanded its Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA by partnering with Supermicro to add rack-scale artificial intelligence computing systems to its infrastructure portfolio.

The partnership targets enterprises, neoclouds, and sovereign cloud operators building large-scale AI workloads. The solution will be compliant with NVIDIA Cloud Partner requirements, meaning it meets NVIDIA's specifications for cloud service providers running AI workloads.

Cisco claims that the expanded architecture uses its own Silicon One-based switches for front-end networking and NVIDIA Spectrum-X based switches for back-end traffic between GPUs.
