Global Big Data Conference

After months in early release, Nvidia today announced the general availability of Nvidia AI Enterprise, a new software offering that's designed to bring AI capabilities to the masses via VMware's vSphere. The announcement also includes precertification of AI Enterprise running on a handful of industry-standard X64 servers (equipped with GPUs, of course), as well as a partnership with Domino Data Labs for MLOps. "AI is real and it has real value," said Manuvir Das, Nvidia's head of enterprise computing. Das knows it's real because Nvidia has helped thousands of customers deploy AI into their operations. However, AI has also proven to be difficult to implement, he said. "And the reason is because, on the one hand, it's an end-to-end problem, from the acquisition of data to the training to produce models and then deploy the models to production," Das said.
