NVIDIA launches AI Data Platform for enterprise storage solutions

NVIDIA has introduced the NVIDIA AI Data Platform to help businesses build advanced AI infrastructure for storing and processing data. This new platform allows storage providers to create systems that use AI agents to quickly analyze and respond to complex queries. The AI Data Platform combines NVIDIA's powerful Blackwell GPUs, BlueField DPUs, and Spectrum-X networking. These components are designed to improve performance and reduce energy usage in enterprise storage environments. For instance, BlueField DPUs can perform better than traditional CPUs and use less power. This means companies can handle more data without spending as much on energy. Many leading storage providers, including Dell Technologies, IBM, and Pure Storage, are partnering with NVIDIA to develop customized AI data platforms. These platforms will use NVIDIA’s software and technology to enhance data access and processing capabilities. According to Jensen Huang, NVIDIA’s CEO, this collaboration aims to build essential infrastructure for businesses that want to scale up AI technologies effectively. The goal is to help companies leverage their data better in an increasingly AI-driven world. NVIDIA-Certified Storage providers are expected to start offering solutions using the AI Data Platform later this month. This development is seen as a significant step towards integrating AI into enterprise storage systems.
