AI has become the cornerstone of innovation, and organizations now face the challenging task of harnessing its power to streamline operations, improve customer offerings and create new business opportunities.
NVIDIA and Microsoft Azure have come together to support these demands by bringing state-of-the-art AI infrastructure and software to companies tackling challenging workloads. NVIDIA will showcase its AI solutions portfolio with Microsoft Azure at Microsoft Ignite, running Nov. 14-17, in Seattle.
For example, NVIDIA DGX Cloud, available on Microsoft Azure, allows enterprises to train models for generative AI and fuel other advanced applications.
And to accelerate the digitalization of enterprise industrial operations, such as building virtual factories or validating autonomous vehicles, NVIDIA recently announced that Microsoft Azure will host NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud, a platform as a service that gives businesses instant access to a full-stack environment to design, deploy and manage their digitalized operations.
Additionally, NVIDIA GPU-accelerated virtual machines on Azure, such as the recently announced ND H100 v5-series powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, enable an order-of-magnitude leap in performance and scalability to power the most challenging AI training and inference workloads.
