Bringing AI to the Enterprise
<p><strong><span class="legendSpanClass"><span class="xn-location">SAN JOSE</span></span> </strong>&#8212; Cisco has expanded its partnership with NVIDIA to provide AI technology solutions to enterprises. Enterprises recognize that AI is essential to growth but remain early in their adoption as they navigate the unique technical complexity and security demands of operating AI-ready data centers. The expanded partnership aims to give organizations flexibility and choice as they look to meet the demand of AI workloads for high-performance, low-latency, highly power-efficient connectivity within – and between – data centers, clouds, and users.</p>
<p>&#8220;A robust and scalable AI ecosystem is key to driving the transformative power of AI,&#8221; said Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO of Verizon. &#8220;This expanded partnership between Cisco and NVIDIA, just like our Verizon AI Connect strategy and solutions, builds towards accelerating and enabling resource-intensive AI workloads at the Edge of the network.&#8221;</p>

By enabling interoperability between both companies&#8217; networking architectures, the two companies are prioritizing customers&#8217; needs for simplified, full-stack solutions. The goal of the expanded partnership is to allow customers to optimize their AI infrastructure investments with a common architecture, using their existing management tools and processes, spanning front and back-end networks.</p>
<p>&#8220;Enterprises are under immense pressure to deploy AI quickly and effectively, and many leaders struggle to justify the investment while balancing the risks,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Chuck Robbins</span>, Chair and CEO, Cisco. &#8220;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.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Advancing at lightspeed, AI will revolutionize every industry,&#8221; said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, NVIDIA. &#8220;NVIDIA Spectrum-X is Ethernet enhanced and supercharged for AI. Together with Cisco&#8217;s enterprise platforms and global reach, we can help companies worldwide build state-of-the-art NVIDIA infrastructure as they race to transform with AI.&#8221;</p>
<p>By making it easier to integrate and standardize on both Cisco and NVIDIA technology, customers will benefit from current and future technology advancements in the NVIDIA Spectrum-X platform such as adaptive routing, telemetry, congestion control and low latency, as well as Cisco&#8217;s broader networking, security, and digital resilience portfolio, including the Splunk data platform. As businesses develop AI capabilities and train models on their own data, having a comprehensive security strategy becomes crucial.</p>
<p>&#8220;World Wide Technology&#8217;s long-standing partnerships with Cisco and NVIDIA has already resulted in cutting-edge AI solutions that drive innovation and business transformation,&#8221; said <span class="xn-person">Jim Kavanaugh</span>, Co-Founder and CEO, World Wide Technology. &#8220;By leveraging the strengths of Cisco&#8217;s deep expertise in the data center and NVIDIA&#8217;s advanced AI technologies, we are poised to deliver unparalleled value to our customers and help them navigate the complexities of AI adoption with confidence.&#8221;</p>
