NVIDIA and Coherent Announce Strategic Partnership for Next-Gen Data Center Optics
Data center optics technology is critical for APAC's rapidly expanding AI infrastructure. As countries like Japan, India, and Singapore build sovereign AI compute capacity, advanced optical interconnects from this partnership will be essential for scaling these facilities.
NVIDIA and Coherent Corp. (NYSE: COHR) announced a multiyear strategic agreement to advance the frontier of advanced optics technologies, including manufacturing capacity and research and development, to enable next-generation AI infrastructure and systems. The partnership will focus on developing optical interconnect technologies critical for scaling data center networks to meet the growing demands of AI workloads.
As AI models grow larger and data center clusters scale to tens of thousands of GPUs, optical interconnect technology becomes a bottleneck. This partnership addresses a critical infrastructure gap that affects APAC data center buildouts.
