The next-generation 800Gb/s end-to-end networking suite provides two purpose-built paths for AI infrastructure, ensuring peak efficiency whether using InfiniBand or Ethernet:
NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand : Delivers the industry’s lowest latency and highest performance for dedicated AI clusters. It utilizes Scalable Hierarchical Aggregation and Reduction Protocol (SHARP v4) and adaptive routing to offload collective operations to the network.
NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet : Built on the Spectrum-6 Ethernet switch and ConnectX-9 SuperNIC, this platform brings predictable, high-performance scale-out and scale-across connectivity to AI factories using standard Ethernet protocols, optimized specifically for the “east-west” traffic patterns of AI workloads.
These innovations represent an extreme codesign with the Rubin platform. By mastering congestion control and performance isolation, NVIDIA is paving the way for the next wave of gigawatt AI factories. This holistic approach ensures that as AI models grow in complexity, the networking fabric of the AI factory remains a catalyst for speed rather than a constraint.
NVIDIA Mission Control — AI data center operation and orchestration software for NVIDIA Blackwell-based DGX systems — will be available for Rubin-based NVIDIA DGX systems to enable enterprises to automate the management and operations of their infrastructure.
NVIDIA Mission Control accelerates every aspect of infrastructure operations, from configuring deployments to integrating with facilities to managing clusters and workloads.
With intelligent, integrated software, enterprises gain improved control over cooling and power events for NVIDIA Rubin, as well as infrastructure resiliency. NVIDIA Mission Control enables faster response with rapid leak detection, unlocks access to NVIDIA’s latest efficiency innovations and maximizes AI factory productivity with autonomous recovery.
NVIDIA DGX systems also support the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, including NVIDIA NIM microservices, such as for the NVIDIA Nemotron-3 family of open models, data and libraries.
DGX SuperPOD has long served as the blueprint for large‑scale AI infrastructure. The arrival of the Rubin platform will become the launchpad for a new generation of AI factories — systems designed to reason across thousands of steps and deliver intelligence at dramatically lower cost, helping organizations build the next wave of frontier models, multimodal systems and agentic AI applications.
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with DGX Vera Rubin NVL72 or DGX Rubin NVL8 systems will be available in the second half of this year.
