Supporting AI-Optimized Ethernet for Cloud Infrastructure

NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet is an accelerated networking platform designed to deliver predictable performance and scalability for large-scale AI workloads. By integrating with this platform, Hedgehog enables cloud providers to operate advanced networking using declarative, Kubernetes-native workflows.

Automated Lifecycle Management

  • Declarative Control: Kubernetes-native network configuration and management.
  • Seamless Operations: Automated Day-0 to Day-2 lifecycle management specifically tailored for Ethernet leaf-spine fabrics.

Secure & Scalable Multi-Tenancy

  • Isolated Workloads: Policy-based multi-tenant isolation aligned perfectly with modern cloud and AI workloads.
  • Flexible Deployment: Operational consistency across private cloud, managed AI infrastructure, and bare-metal environments.
