Fiber infrastructure giant Zayo is teaming with Nvidia to build more long-haul connections across the U.S. The partnership will focus on building fiber links for “AI corridors” to expand bandwidth between emerging AI hubs. Fiber is one of the top headaches slowing down AI infrastructure projects. "AI is moving faster than ever and the network is quickly becoming just as critical to that progress as compute itself," Vladimir Troy, Nvidia’s VP for AI infrastructure engineering, explained. “Zayo’s work with Nvidia is helping us get ahead of that curve; pairing Zayo's expertise in large-scale network infrastructure with Nvidia AI leadership to build the connectivity backbone the entire ecosystem needs to keep innovating.”
