The data center is the new unit of computing, and networking plays an integral role in scaling application performance across it. Paired with NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand, HGX delivers world-class performance and efficiency, which ensures the full utilization of computing resources.

For AI cloud data centers that deploy Ethernet, HGX is best used with the NVIDIA Spectrum-X networking platform, which powers the highest AI performance over 400Gb/s Ethernet. Featuring NVIDIA Spectrum™-4 switches and BlueField-3 DPUs, Spectrum-X delivers consistent, predictable outcomes for thousands of simultaneous AI jobs at every scale through optimal resource utilization and performance isolation. Spectrum-X enables advanced cloud multi-tenancy and zero-trust security.  As a reference design for NVIDIA Spectrum-X, NVIDIA has designed Israel-1, a hyperscale generative AI supercomputer built with Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers based on the NVIDIA HGX H200 or H100 eight-GPU platform, BlueField-3 DPUs, and Spectrum-4 switches.
