Cisco is making AI a reality today for a diverse range of customers. From the largest hyperscalers and enterprises to the smallest businesses and public organizations, we understand that each customer's AI journey is unique. Some organizations have a clear vision of their AI goals, while others are still exploring the possibilities. No matter where you are on this journey, Cisco can help.
Today, Cisco has announced support for NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints. These blueprints are not just tools, but a catalog of pretrained, customizable AI workflows designed to provide enterprise developers with reference workflows to easily build more advanced and tailored generative AI applications.
By integrating NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints with Cisco's AI solutions, enterprises can gain a secure and scalable platform that accelerates their journey to create and implement AI solutions that drive business value by automating processes, enhancing decision-making and enabling the development of innovative products and services, ultimately driving efficiency and profitability.
"Around the world, enterprises are eager to adopt AI to boost productivity and better serve customers," said Justin Boitano, vice president, enterprise AI software products, NVIDIA. "NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints provide customizable workflows for core generative AI use cases, like customer service and retrieval-augmented generation, that enterprises can run on Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI infrastructure for agility and scale."
Cisco in collaboration with NVIDIA recently announced Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI Clusters, a new enterprise-ready infrastructure solution to scale generative AI workloads. Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI Clusters is a full-stack solution that delivers AI-scale performance with 800G Ethernet, Cisco cloud management to simplify all phases of operation, and the agility to place workloads where you need them. It combines Cisco AI-native networking with NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI software, including NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA NeMo, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.
Whether you're using small language models or generative AI, Cisco's AI-ready infrastructure is designed to help you overcome hurdles and bring meaningful AI-driven interactions and results. But we are more than just a provider of infrastructure and solutions. We offer flexibility and choice, preparing organizations for the next frontier of AI data centers delivering higher speed, higher performance, and scale. Applications are at the center of data center modernization and the foundation for the digital transformation of traditional enterprises. These AI-driven applications have changed how data is generated, analyzed, and delivered. In order to deliver these outcomes, reference architectures that outline how AI can be integrated into data center environments to optimize performance and operations is critical. With innovative solutions such as Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters, customers can leverage validated designs to modernize their infrastructure and start their AI journey with confidence.
Our collaboration with NVIDIA accelerates this journey in making AI more attuned to the needs of our enterprise customers with customizable NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints running on Cisco's NVIDIA-Certified Systems. Additionally, the VAST Data Platform, which offers unified storage, database, and data-driven function engine services built for AI, is the first data platform optimized and supported with Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters.
At Cisco, we are committed to being a trusted partner, ready to support and guide our customers through their AI journey. With a comprehensive line of high-performance networking solutions, including the Cisco Nexus 9000 and Cisco 8000 portfolios, we ensure robust infrastructure for all AI workloads.
