NetApp announces simplified, secure,
high-performing infrastructure in collaboration with NVIDIA
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure
company, today announced new capabilities that maximize the
potential of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) projects
and build competitive advantage for users. Customers can now take
their AI projects to the next level by combining NetApp’s
intelligent data infrastructure with high-performance compute,
networking and software from NVIDIA.
Gen AI has captured global attention for its potential to
automate tedious tasks, uncover new insights, and drive product
innovation. Nearly three out of four companies are already using
Gen AI, according to the NetApp 2023 Data Complexity report. To
unlock the potential of Gen AI, organizations need secure,
high-performance access to data spread across complex hybrid and
multicloud environments. NetApp has a long and successful history
of expertise in supporting AI with solutions that deliver
management simplicity anywhere data lives, provide high performance
without requiring new infrastructure silos, and supply trusted,
secure data to drive responsible AI.
“NetApp is the intelligent data infrastructure company, with
solutions optimized to maximize the potential of our customers’ AI
investments,” said Arunkumar Gururajan, Vice President of Data
Science & Research at NetApp. “Our unique approach to AI gives
customers complete access and control over their data throughout
the data pipeline, moving seamlessly between their public cloud and
on-premises environments. By tiering object storage for each phase
of the AI process, our customers can optimize both performance and
costs exactly where they need them. Our unified approach delivers
the performance, productivity, and protection customers need to
quickly innovate with AI.”
To support companies leveraging Gen AI to improve their
operations and strategic decision-making, NetApp released updates
to its intelligent data infrastructure capabilities including:
- NetApp AIPod™ is NetApp's AI-optimized converged
infrastructure for organizations’ highest priority AI projects,
including training and inferencing. NetApp AIPod powered by NVIDIA
DGX is now a certified NVIDIA DGX BasePOD solution using NVIDIA DGX
H100 systems integrated with NetApp AFF C-Series affordable
capacity flash systems to drive a new level of cost/performance
while optimizing rack space and sustainability. NetApp AIPod
powered by NVIDIA DGX also continues to support NVIDIA DGX A100
systems.
- New FlexPod for AI reference architectures extend the
leading converged infrastructure solution from NetApp and Cisco.
FlexPod for AI now supports the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software
platform. FlexPod for AI can now be extended to leverage RedHat
OpenShift and SuSE Rancher. New scaling and benchmarking have been
added to support increasingly GPU-intensive applications. Customers
can use these new FlexPod solutions as an end-to-end blueprint to
efficiently design, deploy, and operate the FlexPod platform for AI
use cases.
- NetApp is now validated for NVIDIA OVX systems. NetApp
storage combined with NVIDIA OVX computing systems can help
streamline enterprise AI deployments, including model fine-tuning
and inference workloads. Powered by NVIDIA L40S GPUs, validated
NVIDIA OVX solutions are available from leading server vendors and
include NVIDIA AI Enterprise software along with NVIDIA Quantum-2
InfiniBand or NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet, and NVIDIA BlueField-3
DPUs. NetApp is one of the first partners to complete this new
storage validation for NVIDIA OVX.
To further enhance its AI leadership, NetApp also is announcing
revolutionary new cyber-resilience capabilities including one of
the first uses of AI/ML embedded in storage to fight ransomware.
The new Autonomous Ransomware Protection with AI (ARP/AI) will
provide the next generation of machine learning in ONTAP, giving
the increased accuracy and performance required to detect and
mitigate new, more sophisticated cyber threats.
“AI powers mission-critical use cases in every industry, from
healthcare to manufacturing to financial services,” said Tony
Paikeday, Senior Director of AI Systems at NVIDIA. “NetApp AIPod
certified for NVIDIA DGX BasePOD provides a powerful reference
architecture that helps enterprises eliminate design complexity,
reduce deployment time frames, and simplify ongoing
operations.”
“GenAI has massive potential to help organizations harness their
data to uncover business insights and improve operational
efficiency,” said Archana Venkatraman, Research Director, Cloud
Data Management, IDC. “NetApp has continuously adapted to deliver
the services and solutions customers need to effectively manage
their data pipelines. These updates further illustrate NetApp’s
willingness to evolve and bring innovations to customers that
unlock the full potential of AI.”
NetApp delivers a unified approach to infrastructure and data
management that eliminates data silos, brings enhanced performance
and trusted data protection to customers’ AI turnkey solutions, and
helps customers accelerate the time to results for their AI
projects.
