Delivering Generative AI in 2023 with VAST and NVIDIA

The rapid increase in generative AI and HPC use-cases across industries and sectors is compelling IT leaders to provision and scale high-performance infrastructure that’s designed to support AI-powered business initiatives.

Delivering the agility and scalability needed for this new wave of highly challenging Machine Learning/Deep Learning application workloads calls for optimal specifications throughout the enterprise IT estate – and performance-optimized data storage systems and large scale computing infrastructure are key to successful implementations.

For this reason, VAST Data has collaborated closely with NVIDIA to achieve the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD certification. Together, the market leaders have developed a solution capable of virtually limitless levels of scale and performance that’s also simple and resilient in operation. Working together they can help any enterprise to set-up GPU-powered platforms – computing, networking and storage – that easily enables AI-ready clouds wherever they’re needed.

In this on-demand webinar The Register’s James Hayes is joined by VAST Data’s John Mao, VP, Global Business Development, and NVIDIA’s Tony Paikeday, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Artificial Intelligence Systems, for an interactive discussion on the key issues facing enterprises leveraging AI now and into the future.
