Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Gets Supercharged
with Major GPU Expansion Supporting Full Stack of NVIDIA AI
Software and Services
LAS
VEGAS, Oct. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Oracle CloudWorld -- Expanding their
longstanding alliance, Oracle and NVIDIA today announced a
multi-year partnership to help customers solve business challenges
with accelerated computing and AI. The collaboration aims to
bring the full NVIDIA accelerated computing stack — from GPUs to
systems to software — to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
OCI is adding tens of thousands more NVIDIA GPUs, including
the A100 and upcoming H100, to its capacity.
Combined with OCI's AI cloud infrastructure of bare metal, cluster
networking, and storage, this provides enterprises a broad, easily
accessible portfolio of options for AI training and deep learning
inference at scale.
"To drive long-term success in today's business environment,
organizations need answers and insight faster than ever," said
Safra Catz, CEO, Oracle. "Our
expanded alliance with NVIDIA will deliver the best of both
companies' expertise to help customers across industries – from
healthcare and manufacturing to telecommunications and financial
services – overcome the multitude of challenges they face."
Accelerated computing and AI are key to tackling rising costs in
every aspect of operating businesses," said Jensen Huang, CEO and
founder, NVIDIA. "Enterprises are increasingly turning to
cloud-first AI strategies that enable fast development and scalable
deployment. Our partnership with Oracle will put NVIDIA AI within
easy reach for thousands of companies."
NVIDIA AI Coming to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
NVIDIA
and Oracle have been serving enterprises together for years with
accelerated computing instances and software available via OCI.
With the full NVIDIA AI platforms available on OCI instances, the
extended partnership is designed to accelerate AI-powered
innovation for a broad range of industries to better serve
customers and support sales.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise, the globally adopted software of the
NVIDIA AI platform, includes essential processing engines for each
step of the AI workflow, from data processing and AI model training
to simulation and large-scale deployment. NVIDIA AI enables
organizations to develop predictive models to automate business
processes and gain rapid business insights with applications such
as conversational AI, recommender systems, computer vision and
more. The parties plan to make an upcoming release of NVIDIA AI
Enterprise available on OCI, providing customers with easy access
to NVIDIA's accelerated, secure and scalable platform for
end-to-end AI development and deployment
Additionally, Oracle is now offering early access to NVIDIA
RAPIDS™ acceleration for Apache Spark data processing on the OCI
Data Flow fully-managed Apache Spark service. Data processing is
one of the top cloud computing workloads. To support this demand,
OCI Data Science plans to offer support for OCI bare metal shapes,
including BM.GPU.GM4.8 with NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs across
managed notebook sessions, jobs, and model deployment.
NVIDIA Clara™, a healthcare AI and HPC application framework for
medical imaging, genomics, natural language processing, and drug
discovery, is also coming soon. Oracle and NVIDIA are additionally
collaborating on new AI-accelerated Oracle Cerner offerings for
healthcare, which span analytics, clinical solutions, operations,
patient management systems and more.
