NVIDIA recently announced in California that technology giants Meta and Oracle will integrate NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet switches into their AI data center networks. This collaboration marks a significant advancement in AI infrastructure. The two companies plan to standardize this technology into an open, accelerated network architecture to improve AI training efficiency and shorten data analysis time.
Oracle will build a giga-scale AI factory powered by NVIDIA's Vera Rubin architecture and interconnected by Spectrum-X, while Meta will integrate Spectrum switches into its FBOSS (Facebook Open Switching System) network infrastructure. These differentiated deployment approaches demonstrate the technology's adaptability to diverse application scenarios.
NVIDIA founder Jensen Huang emphasized in a statement that with the development of trillion-parameter models, data centers are transforming into giga-scale AI factories. He noted that industry leaders like Meta and Oracle will work together to promote Spectrum-X as an industry standard. This technology is not only a faster Ethernet solution but also the "nervous system" that connects millions of GPUs to build supercomputers, providing critical support for training extremely large-scale models. This collaboration reflects the trend of technological convergence in the field of AI infrastructure. Through standardized high-performance network architecture, enterprises can deploy AI solutions more efficiently.
