VMware Explore—NVIDIA today announced a new data
center solution with Dell Technologies designed for the era of AI,
bringing state-of-the-art AI training, AI inference, data
processing, data science and zero-trust security capabilities to
enterprises worldwide.
The solution combines Dell PowerEdge servers with NVIDIA
BlueField® DPUs, NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, and
is optimized for VMware vSphere 8 enterprise workload platform,
also announced today.
Enterprises can experience the combination of these technologies
on NVIDIA LaunchPad, a hands-on lab program that provides access to
hardware and software for end-to-end workflows in AI, data science
and more.
“AI and zero-trust security are powerful forces driving the
world’s enterprises to rearchitect their data centers as computing
and networking workloads are skyrocketing,” said Manuvir Das, head
of Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA. “VMware vSphere 8 offloads,
accelerates, isolates and better secures data center infrastructure
services onto the NVIDIA BlueField DPU, and frees the computing
resources to process the intelligence factories of the world’s
enterprises.”
“Dell and NVIDIA’s long tradition of collaborating on
next-generation GPU-accelerated data centers has already enabled
massive breakthroughs,” said Travis Vigil, senior vice president,
portfolio and product management, Infrastructure Solutions Group,
Dell Technologies. “Now, through a solution that brings NVIDIA’s
powerful BlueField DPUs along with NVIDIA GPUs to our PowerEdge
server platform, our continued collaboration will offer customers
performance and security capabilities to help organizations solve
some of the world’s greatest challenges.”
Running on BlueField, vSphere 8 supercharges the performance of
workloads. By offloading to the DPU, customers can accelerate
networking and security services, and save CPU cycles while
preserving performance and meeting the throughput and latency needs
of modern distributed workloads. The combination increases
performance and efficiency, simplifies operations and boosts
infrastructure security for data center, edge, cloud and hybrid
environments.
“Distributed modern applications with AI/ML and analytics are
driving the transformation of data center architecture by
leveraging accelerators and providing better security as part of
the mainstream application infrastructure,” said Krish Prasad,
senior vice president and general manager, VMware Cloud Platform
Business, VMware. “Dell PowerEdge servers built on the latest
VMware vSphere 8 innovations, and accelerated by NVIDIA BlueField
DPUs, provide next-generation performance and efficiency for
mission-critical enterprise cloud applications while better
protecting enterprises from lateral threats across multi-cloud
environments.”
NVIDIA AI Enterprise Support for VMware vSphere 8 Coming
SoonAs NVIDIA-Certified™ Systems, the Dell PowerEdge
servers will be able to run the NVIDIA and VMware AI-Ready
Enterprise Platform, a solution that features the NVIDIA AI
Enterprise software suite and VMware vSphere.
A comprehensive, cloud-native suite of AI and data analytics
software, NVIDIA AI Enterprise is optimized to enable organizations
to use AI on familiar infrastructure. It is certified to deploy
anywhere — from the enterprise data center to the public cloud —
and includes global enterprise support to keep AI projects on
track.
An upcoming release of NVIDIA AI Enterprise will bring support
for new capabilities introduced in VMware vSphere 8, including the
ability to support larger multi-GPU workloads, optimize resources
and easily manage the GPU lifecycle.
AvailabilityWith NVIDIA LaunchPad, enterprises
can get access to a free hands-on lab of VMware vSphere 8 running
on NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPUs.
Dell servers with vSphere 8 on NVIDIA BlueField-2 DPU will be
available later in the year. NVIDIA AI Enterprise with VMware
vSphere is now available and can be experienced on NVIDIA LaunchPad
hands-on labs.
