To meet the demands of real-time artificial intelligence (AI) processing, NVIDIA and Dell Technologies collaborate to develop a new data center solution.
Enterprises worldwide will be able to utilise the state-of-the-art AI training, AI inferencing, data processing, data science, and zero-trust security capabilities as part of NVIDIA’s new solution.
Also announced today was a solution combining Dell PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA BlueField® DPUs, NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software which has been optimized for VMware vSphere 8 enterprise workload platform.
Enterprises are able to experience the combination of these technologies on NVIDIA LaunchPad, a hands-on lab program providing access to hardware and software for end-to-end workflows in AI and data science.
Manuvir Das, head of Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA says enterprises are rearchitecting their data centers as computing and networking workloads soar, driven by powerful forces such as AI and zero-trust security.
“Using the NVIDIA BlueField DPU as part of VMware vSphere 8 data center infrastructure services, infrastructure services are offloaded, accelerated, isolated, and secured, freeing computing resources to power the intelligence factories of the world’s enterprises.” said Das
According to Travis Vigil, senior vice president, portfolio and product management, Infrastructure Solutions Group collaborating with Dell on next-generation GPU-accelerated data centers has already enabled major breakthroughs.
“Bringing NVIDIA BlueField DPUs and NVIDIA GPUs to our PowerEdge server platform, our ongoing collaboration will provide customers with performance and security advantages in order to help resolve some of the world’s most significant issues.” says Vigil
Running on BlueField, vSphere 8 provides outstanding performance for workloads
Through offloading to the DPU, customers may accelerate networking and security services, saving CPU cycles while preserving performance and meeting the throughput and latency demands of distributed workloads.
Data centre, edge, cloud, and hybrid environments benefit from increased performance and efficiency, simplified operations, and enhanced infrastructure security.
Krish Prasad, senior vice president and general manager, VMware Cloud Platform Business says data center architecture is being transformed by leveraging accelerators and providing better security in distributed modern applications that include AI/ML and analytics.
“The latest VMware vSphere 8 innovations built into Dell PowerEdge servers, combined with NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, provide next-generation performance and efficiency for mission-critical enterprise cloud applications, while also protecting enterprises from lateral threats across multi-cloud environments.” says Prasad.
