VMware and NVIDIA Partner to Accelerates AI From On-Prem To Cloud

The News: NVIDIA and VMware today at VMworld announced their intent to deliver accelerated GPU services for VMware Cloud on AWS to power modern enterprise applications, including AI, machine learning and data analytics workflows. These services will enable customers to seamlessly migrate VMware vSphere-based applications and containers to the cloud, unchanged, where they can be modernized to take advantage of high-performance computing, machine learning, data analytics and video processing applications. Analyst Take: This week at VMworld, I expect the big theme to continue to be multi-cloud and Hybrid IT and for VMware it is all about building solutions that create the greatest level of seamlessness between on-prem and cloud. This has been the driving factor of vSphere as IT has sought for ways to build applications and workloads that can work on-prem or in the cloud consistently for both administrators and users. To date, AI Training can be accomplished effectively on-prem or in the Cloud, but there has been some limitations on leveraging the benefits of hybrid IT to modernize applications using GPUs.
