Nvidia today announced<\/a> its plans to acquire Cumulus Networks<\/a>, an open-source-centric company that specializes in helping enterprises optimize their data center networking stack. Cumulus offers both its own Linux distribution<\/a> for network switches, as well as tools for managing network operations<\/a>. With Cumulus Express<\/a>, the company also offers a hardware solution in the form of its own data center switch.<\/p>\n

The two companies did not announce the price of the acquisition, but chances are we are talking about a considerable amount, given that Cumulus had raised $134 million<\/a> since it was founded in 2010.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Mountain View-based Cumulus already had a previous partnership with Mellanox, which Nvidia acquired for $6.9 billion<\/a>. That acquisition closed only a few days ago<\/a>. As Mellanox\u2019s Amit Katz notes in today\u2019s announcement, the two companies first met in 2013, and they formed a first official partnership in 2016. Cumulus, it\u2019s worth noting, was also an early player in the OpenStack ecosystem<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having both Cumulus and Mellanox in its stable will give Nvidia virtually all the tools it needs to help enterprises and cloud providers build out their high-performance computing and AI workloads in their data centers. While you may mostly think about Nvidia because of its graphics cards, the company has a sizable data center group, which delivered close to $1 billion in revenue<\/a> in the last quarter, up 43% from a year ago. In comparison, Nvidia\u2019s revenue from gaming was just under $1.5 billion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Cumulus, NVIDIA <\/a> can innovate and optimize across the entire networking stack from chips and systems to software including analytics like\u00a0Cumulus NetQ<\/a>, delivering great performance and value to customers,\u201d writes Katz. \u201cThis open networking platform is extensible and allows enterprise and cloud-scale data centers full control over their operations.\u201d<\/p>\n
