Cisco and Nvidia Introduce Secure and Easy-to-Use Ready-Made AI Solutions
US technology company Cisco is expanding its Secure AI Factory solution with Nvidia, which can now be used not only in data centres but also run in various locations where data is generated and decisions are made (edge).
This integrated infrastructure platform is designed to make it easier for companies to run artificial intelligence (AI) from the testing stage to full-scale deployment, without needing to assemble complex systems.
The term “AI factory” is used because the system works like a factory, processing data continuously into AI decisions or analyses.
Through collaboration with Nvidia, Cisco is introducing a framework that combines networking, computing, and security into one system, so companies no longer need to assemble various components separately to operate AI.
With this approach, AI implementation, which previously could take months, is claimed to be reduced to weeks, while integrating security aspects from the start.
Cisco Chair and CEO Chuck Robbins said that some companies understand AI’s potential to transform their businesses.
However, they are still looking for the right way to implement it securely and at scale.
“Together with Nvidia, we are addressing these challenges through an architecture that sets new standards in performance, making the implementation, operation, and securing of AI infrastructure simpler,” said Robbins in an official statement received by KompasTekno on Friday (3/4/2026).
One of the main focuses of this solution is to enable AI to run not only in data centres but also closer to data sources or devices, such as in hospitals, warehouses, and industrial environments.
This approach is considered important because many AI applications require real-time responses.
On the performance side, Cisco is also introducing improvements to network infrastructure, including high-speed switches up to 102.4 Tbps designed to handle large-scale AI workloads.
In addition, the Nexus Hyperfabric solution integrated into Nexus One is said to simplify implementation by reducing multi-vendor integration complexity.
