AUSTIN,
Texas and SAN JOSE,
Calif., March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- GTC
-- Oracle and NVIDIA today announced an expanded collaboration
to deliver sovereign AI solutions to customers around the world.
Oracle's distributed cloud, AI infrastructure, and generative AI
services, combined with NVIDIA's accelerated computing and
generative AI software, are enabling governments and enterprises to
deploy AI factories.
These AI factories can run cloud services locally, and within a
country's or organization's secure premises with a range of
operational controls, supporting sovereign goals of diversifying
and boosting economic growth.
"As AI reshapes business, industry, and policy around the world,
countries and organizations need to strengthen their digital
sovereignty in order to protect their most valuable data," said
Safra Catz, CEO of Oracle. "Our
continued collaboration with NVIDIA and our unique ability to
deploy cloud regions quickly and locally will ensure societies can
take advantage of AI without compromising their security."
"In an era where innovation will be driven by generative AI,
data sovereignty is a cultural and economic imperative," said
Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Oracle's integrated
cloud applications and infrastructure, combined with NVIDIA
accelerated computing and generative AI services, create the
flexibility and security nations and regions require to control
their own destiny."
Turnkey Solutions to Help Customers Meet Data
Sovereignty
The combination of NVIDIA's full-stack AI platform with Oracle's
Enterprise AI – deployable across OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle
Alloy, Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud, and Oracle Government Cloud –
offers customers a state-of-the-art AI solution that provides
greater control over operations, location, and security to help
support digital sovereignty.
Countries across the globe are increasingly investing in AI
infrastructure that can support their cultural and economic
ambitions. Across 66 cloud regions in 26 countries, customers can
access more than 100 cloud and AI services spanning infrastructure
and applications to support IT migration, modernization, and
innovation.
The companies' combined offerings can be deployed via the public
cloud or in a customer's data center in specific locations, with
flexible operational controls. Oracle is the only hyperscaler
capable of delivering AI and full cloud services locally, anywhere.
OCI services and pricing are consistent across deployment types to
simplify planning, portability, and management.
Oracle's cloud services leverage a range of NVIDIA's stack,
including NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure and the
NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, including newly announced
NVIDIA NIM™ inference microservices, which are built on the
foundation of NVIDIA inference software such as NVIDIA TensorRT™,
NVIDIA TensorRT-LLM, and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server™.
Sovereign AI Pioneers
Avaloq, a leader in wealth management technology, selected OCI
Dedicated Region to bring a complete OCI cloud region into its own
data center.
"OCI Dedicated Region aligns with our commitment to ensure
maximum control over data residency while providing access to the
latest cloud infrastructure," said Martin Büchi, chief technology
officer of Avaloq. "This supports us as we continue to drive the
digital transformation of banks and wealth managers."
TEAM IM, a leading New Zealand
information management services provider, chose Oracle Alloy to
build New Zealand's first locally
owned and operated hyperscale cloud known as TEAM Cloud.
"Organizations in New Zealand
are increasingly eager to harness the power of the cloud while
safeguarding the integrity of their data within their own shores by
leveraging a unique hyperscale cloud solution," said Ian Rogers, chief executive officer of TEAM IM.
"With Oracle Alloy and the possibility of integrating the NVIDIA AI
platform into our cloud services, we've been able to become a cloud
services provider that can assist public sector, commercial and iwi
organizations in navigating the intricacies of the digital
landscape and optimizing their digital transformations."
e& UAE, telecom arm of e& group, is collaborating with
Oracle to enhance its AI capabilities and intends to deploy NVIDIA
H100 Tensor Core GPU clusters within its OCI Dedicated Region.
"OCI will enable us to deploy NVIDIA H100 GPU clusters within
our own OCI Dedicated Region, hosted at e& UAE data centers,"
said Khalid Murshed, chief
technology and information officer (CTIO) of e& UAE. "This type
of localization will allow us to accelerate AI innovation across
the UAE and helps us develop new Gen AI applications and use cases
at scale. This is in line with e& UAE's transformation efforts
to pioneer innovation and shape the future of technology with our
focus on driving excellence in AI to provide unparalleled customer
experiences."
OCI Supercluster and OCI Compute Boosted with NVIDIA Grace
Blackwell
To help customers address the ever-increasing needs of AI
models, Oracle plans to take advantage of the latest NVIDIA Grace
Blackwell computing platform, announced today at GTC, across OCI
Supercluster and OCI Compute. OCI Supercluster will become
significantly faster with new OCI Compute bare metal instances,
ultra-low-latency RDMA networking, and high-performance storage.
OCI Compute will adopt both the NVIDIA GB200 Grace Blackwell
Superchip and the NVIDIA Blackwell B200 Tensor Core GPU.
The NVIDIA GB200 Grace™ Blackwell Superchip will power a new era
of computing. GB200 delivers up to 30X faster real-time large
language model (LLM) inference, 25X lower TCO, and requires 25X
less energy compared to the previous generation of GPUs,
supercharging AI training, data processing, and engineering design
and simulation. NVIDIA Blackwell B200 Tensor Core GPUs are designed
for the most demanding AI, data analytics, and high-performance
computing (HPC) workloads.
NVIDIA NIM and CUDA-X™ microservices, including NVIDIA NeMo
Retriever for retrieval- augmented generation (RAG) inference
deployments, will also help OCI customers bring more insight and
accuracy to their generative AI copilots and other productivity
tools using their own data.
NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Comes to DGX Cloud on OCI
To meet escalating customer demand for increasingly complex AI
models, the companies are adding NVIDIA Grace Blackwell to NVIDIA
DGX™ Cloud on OCI. Customers will be able to access new GB200 NVL72
based instances through this co-engineered supercomputing service
designed for energy-efficient training and inference in an era of
trillion-parameter LLMs.
The full DGX Cloud cluster buildout will include more than
20,000 GB200 accelerators and NVIDIA CX8 InfiniBand networking,
providing a highly scalable and performant cloud infrastructure.
The cluster will consist of 72 Blackwell GPUs NVL72 and 36 Grace
CPUs with fifth-generation NVLink™.
