NVIDIA today announced the North American availability of NVIDIA
Base Command™ Platform, a hosted AI development hub that provides
enterprises with instant access to powerful computing
infrastructure wherever their data resides.
First announced with early access in May, Base Command Platform
is now available for rent in monthly increments to North American
customers who are ready to advance their AI capabilities with the
record-breaking performance of NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ supercomputers
provided through optimized AI workflow software.
Base Command Platform is remotely hosted by digital
infrastructure leader Equinix, and is the first NVIDIA-powered
hybrid cloud offering available through the NVIDIA AI LaunchPad
partner program. It is ideal for enterprises with large-scale,
multiuser and multi-team AI workflows that want to quickly move AI
projects from prototypes to production without the costs and
complexity introduced by data gravity.
“As enterprise AI adoption grows, so does demand for faster
access to the world-leading infrastructure offered by NVIDIA and
our partners,” said Manuvir Das, head of Enterprise Computing at
NVIDIA. “Base Command Platform makes it easy for enterprises to
instantly access the power of an NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD to accelerate
the AI and data science development lifecycle.”
AI Innovation at Adobe Among Base Command
Platform’s early access customers is Adobe, which is exploring how
the solution can enable its researchers and data scientists to work
simultaneously on shared accelerated computing resources to speed
up the development of new AI-powered software features and
applications.
“Base Command Platform offers an easy onboarding experience for
AI developers,” said Abhay Parasnis, CTO and chief product officer
at Adobe. “Our team is exploring the potential of Base Command
Platform to simplify the machine learning development
workflow.”
Network of PartnersBase Command Platform is
supported by a wide network of partners, including leaders in
storage, digital infrastructure and machine learning tools:
