NVIDIA has announced that Dell Technologies , Hewlett Packard Enterprise ( HPE ) and Lenovo will be the first to integrate NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking technologies for AI into their server lineups to help enterprise customers speed up Generative AI workloads . Purpose-built for Generative AI , Spectrum-X offers enterprises a new class of Ethernet networking that can achieve 1.6x higher networking performance for AI communication versus traditional Ethernet offerings .
The new systems coming from three of the top system makers bring together Spectrum-X with NVIDIA Tensor Core GPUs , NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and NVIDIA AI Workbench software , to provide enterprises with the building blocks to transform their businesses with Generative AI .
“ Generative AI and accelerated computing are driving a generational transition as enterprises upgrade their data centres to serve these workloads ,” said Jensen Huang , Founder and CEO of NVIDIA . “ Accelerated networking is the catalyst for a new wave of systems from NVIDIA ’ s leading server manufacturer partners to speed the shift to the era of Generative AI .”
Antonio Neri , President and CEO , HPE , added : “ Generative AI will undoubtedly drive innovation across multiple industries . These powerful new applications will require a fundamentally different architecture to support a variety of dynamic workloads . To enable customers to realise the full potential of Generative AI , HPE is partnering with NVIDIA to build systems with the required power , efficiency and scalability to support these applications .”
Yuanqing Yang , Chairman and CEO , Lenovo , said : “ Generative AI can power

unprecedented transformation but places unprecedented demands on enterprise infrastructure . Working closely with NVIDIA , Lenovo is building efficient , accelerated systems with the networking , computing and software needed to power modern AI applications .”
GENERATIVE AI AND ACCELERATED COMPUTING ARE DRIVING A GENERATIONAL TRANSITION AS ENTERPRISES UPGRADE THEIR DATA CENTRES TO SERVE THESE WORKLOADS . Networking purpose-built to accelerate AI
For peak AI workload efficiency , Spectrum-X combines the extreme performance of the Spectrum-4 Ethernet switch ; the NVIDIA BlueField-3 SuperNIC , a new class of network accelerators for supercharging
|
hyperscale AI workloads ; as well as acceleration software . Spectrum-X complements BlueField-3 DPUs , one of the world ’ s most advanced infrastructure computing platforms .
Spectrum-4 is the world ’ s first 51Tb / sec Ethernet switch for AI , providing highly effective data throughput at scale and under load while minimising network congestion for multi-tenant , AI cloud workloads . Its intelligent , fine-tuned routing technology enables maximum utilisation of network infrastructure at all times .
BlueField-3 SuperNICs are designed for network-intensive , massively parallel computing , offering up to 400Gb / s RDMA over Converged Ethernet ( RoCE ) network connectivity between GPU servers and boosting performance for AI training and inference traffic on the east-west network inside the cluster . They also enable secure , multi-tenant data centre environments , ensuring deterministic and isolated performance between tenant jobs . Boasting a powerefficient , half-height , half-length PCIe form factor , BlueField-3 SuperNICs are ideal for enterprise-class servers .
NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides frameworks , pre-trained models and development tools for secure , stable and supported production AI . NVIDIA AI Workbench allows developers to quickly create , test and customise pretrained Generative AI models on a PC or workstation – then scale them to virtually any data centre or cloud . �
