Cornelis has expanded its global partner ecosystem, adding federal-focused integrators and new distribution channels aimed at increasing access to its CN5000 high-performance networking gear for AI and HPC deployments.
The new partners named include ASI Corp., CTG Federal, and TVAR Solutions. Cornelis says the additions are intended to help resellers, system integrators, and managed service providers deliver scalable AI and HPC infrastructure with improved application performance and lower total infrastructure cost.
Cornelis’ CN5000 product family is positioned as a 400 Gbps end-to-end networking platform for distributed, data-intensive workloads. The company lists performance targets that include sub-1 µs latency and message rates up to 800 million messages per second, and it claims up to 1.5× higher application performance versus “competitive 400 Gbps fabrics,” plus “approximately 30% better performance per networking dollar.” Those are big numbers, but in practice they’ll hinge on the full design: topology, switch configuration, cable plant, and whether the workload is actually sensitive to tail latency and synchronization overhead.
On the federal side, CTG Federal’s Brad Baker framed the partnership around delivery and availability as much as performance: “Federal agencies aren’t asking for networking experiments, they’re asking for proven technology that ships on time and runs well. … The CN5000 is purpose-built for AI and HPC at scale, and switches and cables are actually available when customers need it.”
ASI Corp.’s Peter Chen pointed to channel demand for options that “maximize performance, improve efficiency, and support scalability” for network infrastructure, adding that the CN5000 family expands what resellers can offer for “demanding HPC environments.” TVAR Solutions’ Sam O’Daniel said the partnership is intended to bring “high-performance, scalable networking solutions” to federal customers while maintaining “security, efficiency, and flexibility.”
Cornelis also highlighted partner support elements such as co-branded collateral, sales enablement and training, and access to Cornelis networking experts through joint events, technical engagements, and validated solution architectures.
