NVIDIA Spectrum-X includes adaptive routing to stem the flow of collisions and optimize bandwidth utilization.
AI factories require more than high-performance compute fabrics to operate efficiently. While East-West networking plays a critical role in connecting GPUs, storage fabrics—responsible for linking high-speed storage arrays—are equally essential. Storage performance significantly impacts multiple AI lifecycle stages, including training checkpointing and inference techniques such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). To address these demands, NVIDIA and its storage ecosystem have extended the NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking platform to enhance storage fabric performance, accelerating time to AI insights.
