Cisco and NVIDIA have expanded their partnership. They have offered integrated software and networking equipment. This is expected to help customers more easily deploy infrastructure to support artificial intelligence applications.

The agreement deepens the companies' strategy to expand the role of Ethernet networks for AI workloads. It also gives both organizations access to each other's sales and support systems.

Cisco and NVIDIA's specialized Ethernet-based networking solutions will be sold through Cisco's extensive global channel, offering professional services and support through key partners.

The integrated package will also include connections with other Cisco software. For example, support for Cisco ThousandEyes Digital Experience Monitoring software can provide AI-based analytics and automatic troubleshooting of issues occurring between cloud and on-premises networks.
