Nvidia is expanding its Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Factory validated design as demand grows for infrastructure that can keep up with rapidly scaling artificial intelligence factories. The company positions the next generation of enterprise artificial intelligence as dependent on systems that can efficiently manage data, secure every stage of the pipeline and accelerate the core services that move, protect and process information alongside artificial intelligence workloads. The updated design is described as a way to align compute, networking and security so that critical data center services remain responsive as artificial intelligence usage increases.
The centerpiece of the update is the inclusion of Nvidia BlueField cybersecurity and infrastructure acceleration capabilities in the Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Factory validated design. By integrating BlueField, Nvidia aims to accelerate the data center services that keep artificial intelligence factories running while delivering security that can operate at the same speed as artificial intelligence. The company frames this as an approach where hardware acceleration offloads key networking, storage and security tasks, freeing up compute resources for artificial intelligence processing and allowing security policies to be enforced without becoming a performance bottleneck.
Nvidia is also bringing a group of software platforms from its BlueField ecosystem partners into the Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Factory program. Leading software platforms from Armis, Check Point, F5, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Rafay, Red Hat, Spectro Cloud and Trend Micro are now validated as part of Nvidia Enterprise Artificial Intelligence Factory, helping enterprises enhance runtime protection, streamline operations and strengthen the infrastructure that powers artificial intelligence. With this validation, customers are expected to be able to adopt these partner solutions with greater confidence that they will interoperate with Nvidia’s blueprint for modern artificial intelligence data centers.
