Nvidia and VMware team up for machine learning hybrid cloud on AWS - Techerati

Nvidia and VMware today announced the launch of an accelerated GPU service on VMware Cloud on AWS, forming an advanced hybrid cloud infrastructure for machine learning workloads. The new service will allow organisations to migrate VMware vSphere-based applications and containers to VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware's cloud service that runs on bare metal infrastructure in AWS data centres, where they can take advantage of high-performance computing, machine learning, data analytics and video processing applications, backed up by Nvidia accelerators. Specifically, VMware Cloud on AWS customers will be able to rent Amazon EC2 bare metal instances, an AWS service that provides resizable compute capacity, that are accelerated by Nvidia T4 100 GPUs. The lynchpin of the hybrid platform is Nvidia's vComputeServer, virtual vGPU technology that enables GPU-accelerated deployment of workloads in virtual environments. The technology is not technically new but Nvidia has expanded support to VMware virtual environments including vSphere, vCenter and VMware cloud.
