Nvidia tackled assembly bottlenecks by introducing a modular, cable-free tray design for Vera Rubin racks that slashes assembly time by roughly 95%. What previously required a skilled technician spending two hours carefully connecting components now snaps together in about five minutes.
Microsoft Azure is already among the partners testing the first Vera Rubin racks, according to the announcement.
