At Cisco Live in June 2024, we introduced a novel AI cluster solution for data centers, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. The new Nexus HyperFabric AI cluster solution transforms how customers design, manage, and optimize both infrastructure and software by integrating Cisco AI-native networking with NVIDIA technology to help enterprises operationalize generative AI.
Nexus HyperFabric: Engineered for Operational Scale
As our AI vision advances, so does our focus on diverse use cases. The Nexus HyperFabric solution—a cloud-managed network fabric—is designed to scale data centers of any size and location. Delivered as a service, it enables customers, regardless of technical expertise, to design, deploy, manage, and expand multiple fabric instances globally with ease.
Partner Enablement: Begin Your Nexus HyperFabric Journey
Given the significant innovation, our partners requested enablement resources to help them capitalize on this opportunity. We have responded by launching the Cisco Nexus HyperFabric enablement journey on Cisco Black Belt Academy.
