Cisco and Nvidia Expand AI Factory to Rack Scale

Cisco and Nvidia have extended the Secure AI Factory into the rack-scale era, integrating liquid cooling for systems exceeding 200 kilowatts per rack to support reasoning, agentic AI and trillion-parameter training. The solution combines Nvidia Spectrum-X switch silicon with Cisco operating systems, enabling both Nvidia Cloud Partner-compliant and Cisco Silicon One-based architectures. The expanded platform incorporates Cisco Nexus One for unified network management and Cisco Cloud Control for agentic IT operations, addressing the gap between acquiring GPUs and running production-ready AI infrastructure across enterprise environments.
