On May 6, NVIDIA announced a multiyear commercial and technology partnership with Corning aimed at expanding U.S.-based manufacture of optical connectivity solutions. Corning will boost its U.S.-based optical connectivity manufacturing capacity by 10x and expand its U.S. fiber production capacity by more than 50%, while constructing three new advanced manufacturing facilities in North Carolina and Texas.
The expansion is intended to supply optical connectivity—high-performance fiber and photonics (light-based data transmission components)—that hyperscale data centers require to deploy NVIDIA-accelerated computing at scale. Modern AI workloads require thousands of NVIDIA GPUs and unprecedented volumes of optical connectivity to move data at speed and scale.
The three new facilities are expected to create more than 3,000 new, high-paying American jobs.
