Astera Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALAB), a global leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions, has announced an expanded collaboration with NVIDIA to develop scale-up connectivity solutions for the NVIDIA NVLink Fusion ecosystem. This initiative will integrate NVLink connectivity solutions with Astera's existing Intelligent Connectivity Platform, broadening deployment options for hyperscalers implementing artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure.
The Intelligent Connectivity Platform, which already incorporates PCIe, CXL, and Ethernet solutions, will now include NVLink technologies. This expansion is crucial for meeting the high bandwidth and low latency demands of next-generation AI workloads, which require efficient synchronization of hundreds of accelerators at rack-scale.
This collaboration builds upon Astera Labs' history of innovation with NVIDIA. Notable achievements include the recent demonstration of the industry's first end-to-end PCIe 6 interoperability using Scorpio P-Series Fabric Switches, Aries 6 Retimers, and NVIDIA's Blackwell GPU at the NVIDIA GTC 2025. This strategic alliance enhances Astera Labs’ ability to provide optimized, advanced connectivity solutions to the rapidly growing AI market.
According to Astera Labs, this collaboration will not only enhance the performance and efficiency of AI infrastructure but also expand their market opportunities by offering versatile connectivity solutions that cater to diverse AI requirements for hyperscalers.
