The one thing that the reference architecture does not cover is storage, since Nvidia does not supply storage. Instead, storage hardware and software is left to Nvidia’s certified server partners, such as Dell Technologies, Pure Storage, and NetApp.
Solutions based upon Nvidia’s Enterprise RAs are available from its partners, including Cisco, Dell, HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro, with 23 certified data center partners and 577 systems listed in Nvidia’s catalog.
On the software side is Nvidia’s AI Enterprise platform, which includes microservices such as Nvidia NeMo and Nvidia NIM for building and deploying AI applications, along with Nvidia Base Command Manager Essentials, which provides tools for infrastructure provisioning, workload management and resource monitoring.
