AI-optimized networking is the NVIDIA Spectrum-X AI Ethernet switches and the NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and SuperNICS (network interface cards)

Dell, HPE, Supermicro, Lenovo... Cisco's customers will not be buying "Cisco AI Podz" or wtf.

Yet again late to the party, yet again no one is accountable …
J2 would fick it up even more
Nvidia is going to push a model that’s all them - with spectrum , so don’t hold your breath on Cisco being featured! Do you think they’ll call Broadcom to the party ?
Good article. Nvidia’s reference architecture requires their SpectrumX Ethernet networking, which is not offered as part of Cisco’s AI PODs.
