Pure Storage and Cisco Introduce FlashStack AI Factory with NVIDIA

November 10, 2025
Pure Storage and Cisco have unveiled a new FlashStack Cisco Validated Design integrating NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, unifying compute, storage, and networking to accelerate enterprise AI deployment from pilot to production.

In a press release, Pure Storage and Cisco announced a new FlashStack Cisco Validated Design (CVD) built for enterprise AI factories in collaboration with NVIDIA. The integrated platform combines compute, storage, networking, and software to help organizations transition AI workloads from pilot projects to production environments.

The FlashStack CVD forms part of Cisco’s Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA, providing a unified infrastructure that supports retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), large language models, and other AI use cases. It features Pure Storage’s FlashBlade//S for high-performance data access, Cisco UCS C845a servers powered by NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.

The solution aims to simplify AI deployment by ensuring data availability across structured and unstructured sources. Portworx by Pure Storage offers persistent and portable data management across Kubernetes environments, while Cisco’s Nexus 9000 series delivers low-latency networking optimized for GPU workloads.

General availability for the new FlashStack CVD is expected in Q1 2026 through partners including AHEAD, ePlus, SHI International, and World Wide Technology. Early access and solution briefings are currently open through Pure Storage, Cisco, and NVIDIA field teams.
