Cisco Systems Inc. announced on Tuesday that it intends to broaden its partnership with Nvidia Corporation to bring artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to enterprises.
Cisco said in a press release that it will develop data center switches with Nvidia's Spectrum Ethernet platform, and that Nvidia will enable Cisco Silicon One technology along with Nvidia SuperNICs to be part of its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform. This expanded collaboration will unlock new market opportunities for Cisco by unifying the architectural model between front-end and back-end networks, facilitating the management of multiple enterprise and cloud service provider networks, according to the press release.
"Together, Cisco and NVIDIA are partnering to remove barriers for customers and ensure they can optimize their infrastructure investments to unlock the power of AI," Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins commented.
