Rafay and Cisco Partner To Power High-Performance AI Factories For Neoclouds and Sovereign AI Initiatives

Rafay has joined Cisco’s Solutions Plus program, making the Rafay Platform purchasable directly alongside Cisco’s AI infrastructure hardware, networking, and security stack. The partnership offers three software bundles - Foundation, Compute, and AI - enabling neocloud and sovereign AI providers to rapidly deliver GPU-as-a-Service and model inference capabilities. Cisco VP Samir Parikh cited the need for providers to quickly convert GPU capacity into competitive managed services as the key driver of the collaboration.
