Cisco expands rack-scale secure AI factory infrastructure for neocloud and sovereign clouds
Cisco Systems Inc. today introduced an expansion to its current lineup of rack-scale artificial intelligence solutions for massive AI workloads in secure AI factories, addressing growing needs for massive inference and training compute.
Through a partnership with Super Micro Computer Inc., Cisco announced an expanded portfolio of Secure AI Factory solutions with Nvidia Cloud Partner-compliant solutions for hyperscale, neocloud and sovereign clouds. It features the company’s Silicon One-based switches for the front end and builds on the company’s Nvidia Spectrum-X-based switches on the back end, unified by Nexus One, Cisco’s networking management platform.
“We are at the beginning of one of the largest datacenter buildouts in history,” President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel said. “Every organization is racing to scale AI — but speed only counts if it comes with control of data, managed token costs and real return on investment.”
The company said it has also expanded its Enterprise Reference Architectures to include the latest generation for enterprise deployments. This will allow small deployments and large datacenter projects to rapidly spin up and prototype networking and rack-scale build-outs using Nvidia AI deployments with very little risk by tapping into well-known expertise and best practices.
