The newest DGX reference architecture — the Dell EMC Isilon with NVIDIA DGX-1 — is an integrated infrastructure offering a proven approach for rapidly deploying artificial intelligence (AI) at scale in the data centre.

Sold through the joint NVIDIA and Dell EMC channel, it gives customers a way to control AI infrastructure sprawl. NVIDIA DGX systems give enterprises a fast start in AI development, productivity for data science teams, and performance powered by an eight-way NVLink configuration.

The reference architecture is built on NVIDIA DGX POD, an IT-standardised approach to infrastructure that enables data science teams to train bigger models and more complex datasets for greater predictive capabilities. Using NVIDIA DGX POD, IT leaders and their line-of-business leaders can:

People

Build communities of practice that bring together line-of-business experts (vs silos) and centralise education. This creates an AI talent pipeline, overcoming the limited availability of data science expertise.

Process 

Accelerate the ability to go from AI ideation to proof-of-concepts to production.

Technology 

Develop and deliver IT standards for AI computing that ensure performance, productivity and cost efficiency.
