This massive technology alliance takes on InfiniBand with an open Ethernet dream for next-generation AI superclusters


  • InfiniBand’s long dominance faces real pressure from the movement toward open Ethernet standards
  • Meta and Nvidia bet on opening up to large-scale AI networks
  • ESUN Project Connects Industry Competitors Through Shared Networking Ambitions

The Open Compute Project (OCP) announced a new initiative known as Ethernet for Scale-Up Networking (ESUN), aimed at developing open standards for high-performance connections within artificial intelligence clusters.

This collaboration brings together companies such as Meta, Nvidia, AMD, Cisco and OpenAI to explore how Ethernet can compete with existing interconnects like InfiniBand in large-scale data centers.
