OCP Global Summit: Amid Ecosystem Adoption, NVIDIA Opens Vera Rubin Architecture to Help Scale AI Factories Worldwide
What happened
NVIDIA contributed Vera Rubin rack and compute tray designs to OCP through its open MGX architecture and launched open source components for DSX AI Factory. MGX 1.2 supports rack deployments up to 250kW and adds standardized power, cooling and interconnect interfaces. NVIDIA and partners also announced facility and grid resilience specifications, Meta’s adoption of Spectrum-6 switches, plans for USFP optical modules with Cisco, and Falcon Transport support on future ConnectX-10 SuperNICs and BlueField DPUs with Google.
