Cisco Expands Secure AI Factory With NVIDIA and Supermicro for Rack-Scale AI
Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) is expanding its Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA through a partnership with Supermicro, strengthening its position in the rapidly growing AI data center infrastructure market.
The expanded platform combines Cisco networking and security, NVIDIA accelerated computing, and Supermicro’s high-density liquid- and air-cooled servers. It will support large-scale AI workloads including trillion-parameter model training and high-throughput inference using next-generation NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 and HGX Rubin NVL8 systems.
The architecture targets enterprises, neocloud providers and sovereign cloud operators, areas seeing strong investment as global AI computing capacity expands. Cisco said the solution will be NVIDIA Cloud Partner compliant, integrating Cisco Silicon One and NVIDIA Spectrum-X-based networking.
The partnership also moves Cisco beyond supplying networking equipment toward offering a broader AI infrastructure stack spanning compute, networking, security, cooling and management.
Cisco plans to begin offering Supermicro systems through its Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA in October 2026.
