AI workloads must execute where data is created-whether in factory machines, on retail shelves, across a power grid, or across service-provider networks. And therein lies potential value and innovative new use cases. For example, through the Cisco Secure AI Grid powered by NVIDIA, service providers can transform the telecom edge into an AI factory. This enables distributed inferencing services with sub-millisecond precision, unlocking new agentic and physical AI use cases that require real-time intelligence. Cisco and AT&T are bringing the Cisco AI Grid with NVIDIA into production, standing up a successful public-safety use case at AT&T’s Discovery District in Dallas. For the enterprise, the Cisco Unified Edge portfolio enables enterprises to run mission-critical AI workloads without the energy, cost, and footprint of data-center–scale hardware. And at NVIDIA’S GTC event in San Jose this week, Cisco announced support for NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 4500 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs across the Cisco Unified Computing System and Cisco Unified Edge portfolios.
