Major storage and server manufacturers have joined forces with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform, a customizable reference design, to deliver advanced infrastructure supporting a new generation of agentic Artificial Intelligence applications. This platform is designed to help enterprises extract greater value from the vast volumes of unstructured data—such as documents, videos, and PDFs—by enabling rapid scanning, indexing, and real-time retrieval for Artificial Intelligence reasoning agents.
Industry leaders including DDN, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Hitachi Vantara, IBM, NetApp, Nutanix, Pure Storage, VAST Data, and WEKA are launching products built on the NVIDIA reference design. These solutions integrate high-performance components like NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, BlueField DPUs, and Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, as well as NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. Key partners in the original design manufacturing (ODM) sector such as AIC, ASUS, Foxconn, Quanta Cloud Technology, Supermicro, and Wistron are similarly rolling out new server and storage platforms in alignment with NVIDIA´s hardware blueprint.
The integration of these technologies brings compute resources closer to data storage, especially through NVIDIA NIM microservices, improving query speed and content relevance in Artificial Intelligence-driven workflows. Enhanced security and data privacy compliance are also prioritized with features like document-security and advanced access-control. Notable examples are IBM’s Fusion platform, which deploys content-aware storage for hybrid cloud Artificial Intelligence workloads, NetApp’s AIPod solution leveraging NVIDIA microservices, and VAST Data’s unified infrastructure for multi-agent systems—each helping enterprises operationalize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and streamline decision-making through actionable insights.
Meanwhile, ODM partners provide critical hardware components such as chassis design, GPU integration, and energy-efficient storage arrays to ensure that the infrastructure is reliable, scalable, and optimized for Artificial Intelligence reasoning. Companies such as ASUS and Foxconn offer next-generation unified storage and sophisticated accelerated server platforms, while Supermicro and Quanta Cloud Technology build all-flash and hybrid storage arrays powered by cutting-edge NVIDIA processors. These collaborative developments mark a significant step forward in transforming enterprise data platforms, enabling smarter automation, improved research productivity, cybersecurity support, and more responsive customer interactions—all powered by advanced agentic Artificial Intelligence systems built on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform.
