Case Study: NVIDIA achieves accelerated AI workloads and a data-driven future with NetApp ONTAP AI

NVIDIA and NetApp Partner to Create a Data-Driven Future for Customers

NVIDIA, a trusted leader in GPUs and AI computing, is moving beyond gaming into self-driving cars, robotics, healthcare and other real‑time AI applications that demand enormous compute power and massive data throughput. To meet those data-scale challenges and deliver low‑latency, enterprise-grade AI, NVIDIA partnered with NetApp to create a joint solution that addresses both processing and storage needs.

The ONTAP AI reference architecture pairs NVIDIA DGX-1 and DGX-2 systems (with V100 GPUs) with NetApp AFF cloud‑connected flash storage and Cisco Nexus 3232C 100Gb Ethernet switches, providing a high-performance, enterprise‑ready platform. The result is accelerated workloads and analytics, faster time to AI for customers, and a scalable, data-driven foundation for industries such as manufacturing and engineering.
