NVIDIA Expands Early Access Program for VMware’s Project Monterey to Enable Secure, Accelerated Data Centers
October 05 2021 - 8:00AM
NVIDIA today announced it is extending its collaboration with
Lenovo to include participation in NVIDIA’s early access program in
support of Project Monterey, which is designed to modernize
enterprise data centers with the security and performance of
NVIDIA® BlueField® data processing units.
Announced by VMware with NVIDIA and ecosystem partners at
VMworld 2020, Project Monterey aims to improve the performance,
manageability and security of enterprise data centers through the
latest networking technologies, including NVIDIA BlueField DPUs.
Built for AI and accelerated computing, BlueField DPUs enable
delivery of applications at any scale by offloading, accelerating
and isolating data center workloads.
NVIDIA, Lenovo and VMware are collaborating to evolve the
architecture of the data center, cloud and edge to be
software-defined and hardware-accelerated for tackling modern
workloads, such as AI and machine learning. The early access
program allows enterprises to tap into VMware-enabled preconfigured
clusters accelerated by BlueField-powered servers, including Lenovo
ThinkAgile VX and ThinkSystem Ready-Nodes. “AI is transforming data
centers, driving demand for new workloads and architectures,” said
Justin Boitano, vice president and general manager of Enterprise
and Edge Computing at NVIDIA. “Lenovo’s collaboration in our
Project Monterey early access program is a key step in allowing
enterprises to embrace AI’s transformational benefits while
tackling security and performance challenges.”
“Lenovo and NVIDIA’s collaboration on the Project Monterey early
access program enables a fundamental solution shift towards
advanced, DPU-powered data center architecture,” said Kamran Amini,
vice president and general manager of Server, Storage and Software
Defined Solutions at Lenovo ISG. “NVIDIA BlueField DPUs provide
performance and security which enhance the modern data center that
is software defined and hardware accelerated.”
