VMware and NVIDIA announced a broad partnership to deliver both an end-to-end enterprise platform for AI and a new architecture for data center, cloud and edge that uses NVIDIA DPUs to support existing and next-generation applications.

Through this collaboration, the rich set of AI software available on the NVIDIA NGC hub will be integrated into VMware vSphere, VMware Cloud Foundation and VMware Tanzu.

"AI and machine learning have quickly expanded from research labs to data centers in companies across virtually every industry and geography," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "NVIDIA and VMware will help customers transform every enterprise data center into an accelerated AI supercomputer. NVIDIA DPUs will give companies the ability to build secure, programmable, software-defined data centers that can accelerate all enterprise applications at exceptional value."

"AI can be used to detect disease in large patient imaging studies more rapidly than the human eye, and, with further research, this technology will enable doctors to provide the fastest, most accurate and safest diagnoses and treatments for patients," said Christopher Hess, chair of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at UCSF. "Bringing our NVIDIA Clara AI application frameworks and VMware Cloud Foundation together will help us expand our work in AI using a common data center infrastructure for activities such as training and research, and to help support time-sensitive urgent care diagnostics."

Enterprise-ready platform for AI. The first aspect of NVIDIA and VMware's collaboration - the integration of NVIDIA NGC with VMware vSphere and VMware Cloud Foundation - will simplify the deployment and management of AI for the most demanding workloads.
