The suite aims to streamline the development, testing, and deployment of gen AI apps, using Nvidia's NeMo framework and VMware's Cloud Foundation. It ensures data privacy and allows enterprises to run AI services adjacent to their data. Nvidia's infrastructure will handle the computing aspect, delivering performance equal to or exceeding bare metal in some cases. The first AI-ready systems are set to launch by the end of the year, with over 100 servers expected to be in the market from over 20 global OEMs, including Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and Lenovo.
Key takeaways:
- VMware and Nvidia are extending their strategic collaboration to develop a fully-integrated solution for generative AI training and deployment, called VMware Private AI Foundation with Nvidia.
- The new product will provide enterprises with everything they need to fine-tune large language models and run private and highly performant generative AI applications on their proprietary data in VMware’s hybrid cloud infrastructure.
- The solution will leverage Nvidia's NeMo framework and VMware Cloud Foundation, ensuring data privacy and high performance, and is expected to launch in early 2024.
- VMware is also building additional capabilities for the joint offering, including deep learning VMs and a vector database to fast-track the work of enterprises looking to build generative AI apps.
