Cisco expands secure AI factory with NVIDIA for the rack-scale era

Cisco has announced the expansion of its Secure AI Factory in partnership with NVIDIA through a collaboration with Supermicro. This initiative aims to enhance AI infrastructure for enterprises and sovereign clouds, with Jeetu Patel, Cisco's President of Product, stating that this expansion comes at a time of significant datacenter buildouts globally. Cisco seeks to provide an integrated and easy-to-deploy infrastructure, allowing customers to manage complex AI clusters alongside non-AI workloads. This includes Supermicro's liquid and air-cooled systems, enabling customers to maximize value from every watt of energy consumed.
