A new technology made in collaboration between NetApp and NVIDIA is helping companies with make sense Big Data with the help of better AI application. The NetApp ONTAP AI Powered by NVIDIA DGX is a new AI architecture based on NVIDIA’s DGX Supercomputer working together with NetApp’s A800 all-flash storage array.
“Cloud computing, data technology and AI have become fundamental tools for all companies and organisations to operate effectively, especially as many organisations began to embrace the advent of Industry 4.0 locally. Our collaboration with NVIDIA will empower all Malaysian stakeholders in both the public and private sectors with the tools to enhance efficiency, advance in innovation, and succeed in the digital age,” says Azrin Abd Shukor, Country Manager, NetApp Malaysia.
“Just take a look at how we’re starting at the fundamentals – local universities such as Universiti Malaya, and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia are bringing AI into the classroom to help students gain experience with real and impactful engineering platforms. Through public and private sector collaborations, organisations like MIMOS Berhad have set up an Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to further research and development in AI for Big Data Analytics. With such crucial advancements in the local AI scene, Malaysia remains one of NetApp’s key markets, and we are happy to be contributing to the nation’s AI ecosystem growth,” added Azrin later on.
The ONTAP AI can help companies supercharge, simplify, accelerate, and scale the data pipeline across edge, core, and cloud for deep learning deployments and to help customers achieve real business impact. By leveraging the NetApp Data Fabric, ONTAP AI enables enterprises to create a seamless data pipeline
that spans from the edge to the core, to the cloud.
Other features and benefits include easy deployment by eliminating complex designs and uneducated guesswork on requirements, unlimited scaling and having a high-availability solution design on hand. ONTAP AI features redundant storage, high-speed network and server connection, as well as support from both NetApp and NVIDIA.
