Nvidia and Cisco Join Forces on AI Solutions

Nvidia and Cisco

As part of this latest joint effort, Nvidia’s new tensor core GPUs will be available in Cisco’s M7 generation of UCS rack and blade servers.

Nvidia and Cisco have partnered up to offer organisations cloud-based and on-premises AI infrastructure, networking, and software solutions for the data centre. The two companies have previously collaborated on a number of integrated product solutions across areas such as the data centre computing space and collaboration devices.

Chuck Robbins, chair and CEO of Cisco, said, “AI is fundamentally changing how we work and live, and history has shown that a shift of this magnitude is going to require enterprises to rethink and re-architect their infrastructures. Strengthening our great partnership with Nvidia is going to arm enterprises with the technology and the expertise they need to build, deploy, manage, and secure AI solutions at scale.”

Jensen Huang, Nvidia CEO,  said,  “Companies everywhere are racing to transform their businesses with generative AI. Working closely with Cisco, we’re making it easier than ever for enterprises to obtain the infrastructure they need to benefit from AI, the most powerful technology force of our lifetime.”

As part of this latest joint effort, Nvidia’s new tensor core GPUs will be available in Cisco’s M7 generation of UCS rack and blade servers to improve performance across a range of AI and data-intensive workloads in the data centre and at the Edge.
