Cornelis Networks expanded its partner ecosystem, adding federal integrators as it eyes bringing its networking solutions to more government AI infrastructure projects following its support for the Trump Administration’s Genesis Mission.

Among the firms set to offer their high-performance networking solutions – including its flagship CN5000 SuperNIC – is CTG Federal, which supplies both hardware and software solutions to agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Another federal integrator added to Cornelis’ partner providers is TVAR Solutions, which previously secured contracts with NASA and the Department of Defense (DoD).

Cornelis said its growing roster of partners will help support mission-critical high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure projects for government agencies, as well as academia and enterprise.

“Federal agencies aren't asking for networking experiments; they're asking for proven technology that ships on time and runs well,” CTG Federal CTO Brad Baker noted. “Our federal customers are specifically asking for this technology. This partnership is how we get it to them.”

Cornelis also confirmed ASI Corp. is expanding its support for the networking firm’s product lines. ASI, which also stocks solutions from Broadcom, Intel, and Supermicro, counts government contracts under its belt, along with retail, education, and industrial clients, having several previous DoD awards.

“Partners are recognizing a significant opportunity to differentiate themselves by offering a high-performance alternative in a market long dominated by a single approach,” Mike Lafferty, head of strategic partner relations at Cornelis, added. “By aligning with Cornelis, they can deliver superior performance, improved availability, and compelling economics to their customers.”

Cornelis is among the myriad of vendors participating in the Genesis Mission, the U.S. government’s grandiose project to boost the creation of high-fidelity training data for AI. Cornelis’ CN5000s will also support Lynx, an upcoming supercomputing cluster that’ll be used to perform continual assessments and certification on the U.S. nuclear stockpile as part of the Advanced Simulation and Computing Program (ASC).

“We've partnered with [the Department of Energy] since our founding on both research and development programs as well as deployments in multiple of the national labs,” Cornelis CEO Lisa Spelman told SDxCentral last November. “Their interest in us is that we provide high-performance networking technology for their workloads, and we do it within an open ecosystem, so they can pick their OEM of choice for processors or [graphic processing units].”
