Red Hat Inc., a provider of open source solutions, today announced new certifications and capabilities for Red Hat OpenShift aimed at accelerating the delivery of intelligent applications across the hybrid cloud. These enhancements, including the certification of Red Hat OpenShift with NVIDIA AI Enterprise 2.0, as well as the general availability of Red Hat OpenShift 4.10, are intended to help organizations deploy, manage and scale artificial intelligence (AI) workloads with confidence. According to Gartner, worldwide artificial intelligence (AI) software revenue is forecast to total $62.5 billion in 2022, an increase of 21.3% from 2021.1 As enterprises integrate AI and machine learning capabilities into cloud-native applications to deliver more insight and customer value, they need a more agile, flexible and scalable platform for developing and deploying ML models and intelligent applications into production more quickly. Red Hat OpenShift is engineered to provide this foundation and, with today's updates, Red Hat OpenShift makes it easier for organizations to add AI workloads to the industry's leading enterprise Kubernetes platform. While AI is transforming how enterprises do business, operationalizing an AI infrastructure can be complex and time- and resource-intensive.

Hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide will now have the ability to run AI on VMware vSphere and industry-standard servers thanks to NVIDIA software. A comprehensive software set of AI tools and frameworks is now available from NVIDIA, enabling VMware vSphere users to virtualize AI workloads on NVIDIA-Certified SystemsTM. During the epidemic, companies are adopting AI more and more as they realize the benefits of automation and big data analytics. AI is vital to their digital transformation initiatives. According to a separate McKinsey survey, 30 percent of firms are running AI pilots, and nearly half have integrated at least one AI capability into their typical business operations.

NVIDIA today announced the availability of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, a comprehensive software suite of AI tools and frameworks that enables the hundreds of thousands of companies running VMware vSphere to virtualize AI workloads on NVIDIA-Certified Systems .
