Nvidia’s plan to buy British chip powerhouse Arm Ltd. for a cool $40 billion is just the latest move in the company’s evolution from a gaming chip maker to a game changer in enterprise data centers.
Nvidia’s goal is to take its high-powered processor technology and, through innovation, high-profile acquisitions (Mellanox, Cumulus and Arm) and strategic alliances (VMware, Check Point and Red Hat), provide a full-stack, hardware/software offering that brings the power of AI to companies that are modernizing their data centers.
