Nebius has announced the setup of its first full NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack in its Finland data center, illustrating its ongoing partnership with NVIDIA. The recent delivery of NVIDIA Spectrum-6 switches is crucial for creating a unified compute and network operation, with both being managed by the same teams. This close co-engineering collaboration allows Nebius to accelerate the process from hardware delivery to ensuring production workloads, ensuring the Vera Rubin platform delivers optimal performance from the outset for its customers.
NVIDIA: NVIDIA develops advanced computing platforms and networking solutions tailored for large-scale AI training and inference. It maintains deep partnerships with infrastructure providers to co-design systems from early stages through production readiness. Recent deployments emphasize integrated compute and networking fabrics for next-generation AI factories.
Nebius: Nebius is an AI cloud company building a full-stack platform for developers and enterprises to handle data, model training, and production deployment of AI applications. Headquartered in Amsterdam and listed on Nasdaq as NBIS, it operates global data centers including a facility in Finland. The company recently highlighted its close co-engineering work with NVIDIA on new hardware platforms.
NVIDIA Spectrum-6: NVIDIA Spectrum-6 is the latest generation of Ethernet switches optimized as the scale-out networking fabric for Vera Rubin-based AI systems. It features co-packaged optics and enhanced efficiency for connecting compute clusters in AI factories. Nebius received its Spectrum-6 switches the week prior to installing the first Vera Rubin NVL72 rack.
NVIDIA Vera Rubin: NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 is a rack-scale AI supercomputer platform that unifies Rubin GPUs and Vera CPUs to support advanced agentic reasoning and industrial AI workloads. It represents the latest evolution in NVIDIA’s rack-scale architecture, designed for high-density performance in data center environments. Nebius has taken delivery of its first full rack for validation in Finland.
Technology: NVIDIA Spectrum-6 switches serve as the dedicated networking layer for Vera Rubin deployments, enabling integrated compute and network operations by shared engineering teams.
Partnership: Nebius maintains an early-stage co-engineering relationship with NVIDIA that shortens the timeline from hardware delivery to production workloads.
Infrastructure: Nebius is actively bringing up and validating new NVIDIA AI platforms at its Finland data center to ensure full performance delivery to customers.
