They have also expanded the number of system integrators qualified for NVIDIA AI Enterprise. Forrester Research has recognized NVIDIA in the top category of leaders in their evaluation of Enterprise AI infrastructure providers. Deloitte, a leading global consulting firm, has built its center for AI computing on NVIDIA DGX Superpod. At CES, NVIDIA extended their collaboration to AV development, leveraging their own robust AI infrastructure and Deloitte's team of 5,500 system integration developers and 2,000 data scientists to architect solutions for intelligent transportation.
Data Centers
Provide key information about data centers discussed on the call:
Colette Kress discussed that there are still some supply constraints across some of the businesses in the Data Center business, but they are improving every day. She also mentioned that they expect to improve supply each quarter as they enter into fiscal year '23. Toshiya Hari asked about Data Center growth on a year-over-year basis and Colette mentioned that they expect hyperscale cloud to grow more than 2x and enterprise verticals to grow strong double digits in the January quarter. Visibility into the second half of the fiscal year was not discussed on the call.
Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A)
Provide any information about the acquisition of Arm discussed on the call:
NVIDIA attempted to acquire Arm in September 2020, believing that it would accelerate Arm's focus on high-performance CPUs and help Arm expand into new markets. However, the transaction spurred questions from regulators worldwide and NVIDIA was unable to give regulators the comfort they needed to approve the deal. NVIDIA's work in accelerated computing and overall strategy will continue as before, and they are on track to launch their Arm-based CPU targeting giant AI and HPC workloads in the first half of next year. They also have a 20-year architectural license to Arm's IP, allowing them the full breadth and flexibility of options across technologies and markets.
