Gate News reports that on March 19, NVIDIA’s networking business achieved $11 billion in revenue in the last fiscal quarter, a 267% year-over-year increase. The full-year revenue exceeded $31 billion, making it the company’s second-largest revenue source after computing. Zacks Investment Research senior stock strategist Kevin Cook pointed out that the $11 billion quarterly revenue for this division surpasses Cisco’s entire annual networking revenue.
This business originated from NVIDIA’s $7 billion acquisition of Israeli networking company Mellanox in 2020. Its product lineup now includes NVLink (GPU interconnect within data centers), InfiniBand switches, Spectrum-X Ethernet platform, and packaged optical switches, collectively forming the network infrastructure layer of NVIDIA’s so-called “AI factory.”
Kevin Deierling, senior vice president responsible for this division, stated that NVIDIA is one of the few market players capable of providing a complete full-stack solution, selling through partner channels rather than direct-to-customer shipments.
