Nutanix will be working with NVIDIA to deliver an integrated AI operating environment designed to help enterprises accelerate the conversion of AI infrastructure investments into production-ready AI factories.
The Nutanix integrated AI operating environment is a turnkey, complete
system to operationalise AI factories built on NVIDIA AI infrastructure
and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, including NVIDIA NIM microservices. In effect, the environment brings together compute, storage, virtualisation, Kubernetes and AI services. In addition to reducing time-to-value, the joint approach is aimed at improving performance and power efficiency, as well as giving enterprises greater control over how and where AI workloads run.
Luke Congdon, VP, Product Management, Nutanix, noted in a blog post that customers demand performance, scale, and power efficiency. "NVIDIA’s advanced AI infrastructure is the best-in-class platform for processing the underlying tokens needed for generative AI output. We also observed that models continued to grow and evolve, requiring new solutions and innovations to keep up with resource demands and solutions to the growing complexity of the infrastructure needed to power them," he said.
"Nutanix quickly responded by creating an integrated AI operating environment to enable enterprise customers to simply and efficiently build software infrastructure to power diverse generative AI applications. Based upon Nutanix’s award-winning Acropolis Operating System (AOS) storage platform solution and AHV Hypervisor virtualisation solution, Nutanix also offers the Nutanix Kubernetes Platform (NKP), Nutanix Enterprise AI (NAI), Nutanix Unified Storage (NUS), and Nutanix Database (NDB) solutions.
"Nutanix also partners with Canonical to include the Ubuntu Pro OS for NKP bare metal deployments, giving customers a complete end-to-end offering with the optimal NVIDIA compatibility in the ecosystem."
Nutanix is also collaborating closely with NVIDIA to design and enhance its integrated AI operating environment for their latest acceleration technologies. Nutanix plans to support the NVIDIA Vera Arm-based CPUs and the NVIDIA Rubin GPUs for bare metal NKP and AHV and NKP-based virtualised environments. Nutanix will further support the NVIDIA Inference Context Memory Storage Platform with the NVIDIA BlueField-4 storage processor.
Congdon shared that Nutanix has plans to support NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet Photonics switch systems to enable complete data centre acceleration in the Nutanix integrated AI operating environment.
“The AI-driven industrial revolution requires a foundation that strips away complexity to deliver rapid time to value for enterprise AI,” said Justin Boitano, VP, Enterprise AI Products, NVIDIA.
“By integrating the NVIDIA Rubin platform with Nutanix’s AI operating environment, organisations gain a sovereign AI foundation to build their own AI factories and turn proprietary data into a decisive competitive advantage.”
