Cisco rolled out a UCS rack server built on the Nvidia HGX platform and introduced plug-and-play infrastructure stacks tailored for specific AI use cases.
Cisco is unveiling a new server and preconfigured designs aimed at helping enterprise customers implement infrastructure that can handle the massive data sets and complex algorithms of AI training and workloads.
On the server side, Cisco announced a more powerful member of its Unified Computing System (UCS) family, the UCS C885A M8. The 8U rack server is built on Nvidia’s HGX platform and designed to deliver the accelerated compute capabilities needed for AI workloads such as large language model (LLM) training, model fine-tuning, large model inferencing, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
The new UCS C885A M8 system incorporates technology spawned from Cisco and Nvidia’s expanded partnership announced earlier this year. The two companies are offering integrated software and hardware packages for customers looking to spin up AI infrastructure.
