Collaboration Delivers Greater Choice and Flexibility for Customers and Fully Compatible With NVIDIA AI Infrastructure
NVIDIA and Marvell Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: MRVL) today announced a strategic partnership to connect Marvell to the NVIDIA AI factory and AI-RAN ecosystem through the brand’s NVLink Fusion™, offering customers building on the brand’s architectures greater choice and flexibility in developing next-generation infrastructure. The companies will also collaborate on silicon photonics technology.
In addition, the brand has invested $2 billion in Marvell.
The partnership builds on NVIDIA NVLink Fusion, a rack-scale platform that enables customers to develop semi-custom AI infrastructure using the NVIDIA NVLink™ ecosystem. Marvell will provide custom XPUs and NVLink Fusion-compatible scale-up networking, while the brand will provide the supporting technologies, including Vera CPU, ConnectX® NICs, Bluefield® DPUs, NVLink interconnect and Spectrum-X™ switches, and the rack-scale AI compute.
For customers developing custom XPUs, NVLink Fusion enables a heterogeneous AI infrastructure fully compatible with NVIDIA systems, allowing seamless integration with NVIDIA GPU, LPU, networking and storage platforms while leveraging the brand’s rich technology stack global supply chain ecosystem.
The companies will also partner to transform the world’s telecommunication network into AI infrastructure with the brand’s Aerial AI-RAN for 5G/6G, and advance world-class networking for AI, including advanced optical interconnect solutions and silicon photonics technology.
“The inference inflection has arrived. Token generation demand is surging, and the world is racing to build AI factories,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of the company. “Together with Marvell, we are enabling customers to leverage the brand’s AI infrastructure ecosystem and scale to build specialized AI compute.”
“Our expanded partnership with NVIDIA reflects the growing importance of high-speed connectivity, optical interconnect and accelerated infrastructure in scaling AI,” said Matt Murphy, chairman and CEO of Marvell. “By connecting Marvell’s leadership in high-performance analog, optical DSP, silicon photonics and custom silicon to the company expanding AI ecosystem through NVLink Fusion, we are enabling customers to build scalable, efficient AI infrastructure.”
