AI is powering breakthroughs across industries, helping enterprises operate with greater intelligence and speed. As AI factories scale, the next generation of enterprise AI depends on infrastructure that can efficiently manage data, secure every stage of the pipeline and accelerate the core services that move, protect and process information alongside AI workloads.
NVIDIA has expanded the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design to include NVIDIA BlueField cybersecurity and infrastructure acceleration capabilities. This accelerates the data center services that keep AI factories running and delivers security that can operate at the same speed as AI.
Leading software platforms from NVIDIA BlueField ecosystem partners Armis, Check Point, F5, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Rafay, Red Hat, Spectro Cloud and Trend Micro are now validated as part of NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory, helping enterprises enhance runtime protection, streamline operations and strengthen the infrastructure that powers AI.
How NVIDIA BlueField Accelerates the Operating System of AI Factories
NVIDIA BlueField, the processor powering the operating system of AI factories, accelerates the essential services that support AI — networking, storage, security and orchestration — so that CPUs and GPUs can stay focused on AI itself.
By handling these tasks on a dedicated processor, BlueField enables enterprises to scale AI with consistent performance while maintaining strong, real-time security across the entire AI pipeline.
NVIDIA BlueField delivers zero-trust, hardware-accelerated security that operates at the same speed and scale as enterprise AI workloads. By offloading and isolating security functions to a dedicated processor, BlueField strengthens security at every layer while keeping AI operations running smoothly.
With the NVIDIA DOCA Argus framework providing AI runtime visibility and threat detection, enterprises gain real-time security across data ingestion, fine-tuning and inference.
Expanding the AI Factory Ecosystem With New Validated Partner Solutions
The expanded NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design has integrated leading cybersecurity and infrastructure software, each validated to run on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and designed to harness NVIDIA BlueField acceleration.
The integrations with BlueField reduce cyber threats and vulnerabilities by enabling real-time monitoring across enterprise AI infrastructure, improving isolation between AI workloads, and providing visibility and control over AI data, among other use cases — all while maintaining efficiency and performance as traffic and scale increase.
The newly integrated software platforms include:
- Armis Centrix for continuous cyber exposure management across AI factories of any size.
- Check Point Infinity AI Cloud Protect for real-time network and host security against AI threats using NVIDIA DOCA Argus telemetry.
- F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes, which provides efficient AI workload isolation, policy enforcement and reliable performance for evolving Kubernetes environments.
- Fortinet FortiGate VM to provide next-generation firewalling and zero-trust segmentation directly in data center infrastructure, extending the Fortinet Security Fabric to protect AI factories.
- Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS for enforcing zero-trust, AI runtime protection at the infrastructure layer with NVIDIA DOCA Argus.
- Rafay for operating production AI factories with consistent controls, multi-tenant isolation and extensible infrastructure services.
- Red Hat OpenShift for providing a production-grade application platform with enhanced networking and security for AI factories.
- Spectro Cloud’s PaletteAI and PaletteAI Secure — built for highly sensitive and regulated environments — make full-stack AI easy to integrate, fast to deploy and efficient to manage, supporting optimal resource utilization and ongoing innovation across the AI ecosystem.
- Trend Vision One for infrastructure-level monitoring and policy enforcement that combines real-time telemetry with global threat intelligence.
With BlueField acceleration and new integrated applications from ecosystem partners, the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design gives enterprises a stronger foundation for deploying secure, efficient AI at scale.
