Cisco and Nvidia lower barrier to secure, full-stack AI infrastructure

"Cisco and Nvidia today announced a major expansion and deepening of the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA. The goal is to offer customers a complete, well-integrated, and secure AI stack. This should make it easier for those customers to get on board with AI."

"If you look at some of Cisco's announcements over the past year and a half, it's clear where the company is heading when it comes to (AI) infrastructure. It's all about full-stack. Offering customers a stack that's as complete as possible. They can then get started quickly and effectively on whatever they want to do."

"These are built according to the principles of Cisco Validated Designs. These place extra emphasis on the optimal collaboration of the components that together form the stack. AI POD uses Nvidia AI Enterprise software too."

Cisco and Nvidia announced a major expansion of the Cisco Secure AI Factory, designed to provide customers with a complete, well-integrated, and secure AI stack that simplifies AI adoption. Building on the initial announcement at Nvidia GTC last year, the partnership has introduced several expansions including N9100 switches with Nvidia's Spectrum-X Ethernet chips. Cisco's strategy focuses on delivering full-stack solutions that enable customers to quickly and effectively deploy AI infrastructure. The company has demonstrated this approach through offerings like Unified Edge and Unified Branch. AI POD, built on Cisco Validated Designs principles, serves as the foundation for the Cisco Secure AI Factory, incorporating Nvidia AI Enterprise software and emphasizing optimal component collaboration.
