Nvidia Corp., the top provider of chips used in new artificial intelligence computers, is extending a partnership with networking-gear maker Cisco Systems Inc. in a push aimed at making it easier for corporations to deploy AI systems.

Nvidia smashed expectations with its record-breaking quarter, driven by AI infrastructure demand. Networking giants like Arista and Cisco face fierce competition.

This five-year expansion is aimed at bringing flexibility to customers to meet the constantly changing demands that AI brings. Cisco said it will work with Nvidia to create a cross-portfolio unified architecture to make building AI-ready data center networks easier.

Nvidia will couple Cisco Silicon One technology with Nvidia SuperNICs as part of its Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform, and Cisco will build systems that combine Nvidia Spectrum silicon with Cisco OS software.

Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), in collaboration with AMD, Cisco, and Nokia, announced plans at Mobile World Congress 2025 to develop an Open Telecom AI Platform. This platform is designed to provide AI-driven solutions that enhance efficiency,

The Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform integrates Cisco and Nvidia silicon to support enterprise AI workloads.
