Customers will be able to accelerate sovereign
AI and deploy AI solutions anywhere in OCI's distributed
cloud
AUSTIN,
Texas, March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
today announced that NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end,
cloud-native software platform that accelerates data science and
streamlines the development and deployment of production-ready AI,
will be available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). To support
sovereign AI, among other deployments, and provide customers with
easy access to NVIDIA's accelerated, secure, and scalable platform,
NVIDIA AI Enterprise will be available anywhere in OCI's
distributed cloud, and customers will be able to purchase it
with their existing Oracle Universal Credits.
Unlike other NVIDIA AI Enterprise offerings through a
marketplace, OCI will make it available natively through the OCI
Console, reducing the time it takes to deploy the service and
provide direct billing and customer support. Customers can quickly
and easily access 160+ AI tools for training and inference,
including NVIDIA NIM™ microservices, a set of optimized,
cloud-native inference microservices designed to simplify the
deployment of generative AI models. This end-to-end set of training
and inference capabilities on OCI will enable customers to combine
them with OCI services for building applications and managing data
across a range of distributed cloud deployment options.
"We want our customers to be able to develop and deploy their AI
solutions on OCI in the quickest way possible," said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure. "With NVIDIA AI Enterprise on OCI, customers will
be able to benefit from the latest AI infrastructure and software
innovations while having the flexibility to leverage the wide array
of deployment options provided by our distributed cloud. This will
help customers accelerate sovereign AI by enabling them to take
advantage of industry-leading AI solutions that provide greater
control over operations, location, and security."
"NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides the building blocks for
developers creating modern AI applications," said Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise
Software Products, NVIDIA. "Oracle's integration of NVIDIA AI
Enterprise on the OCI Console will deliver a seamless experience to
speed the development and deployment of generative, agentic, and
physical AI across local regions."
By delivering NVIDIA AI Enterprise through the OCI Console,
Oracle will enable NVIDIA AI Enterprise to be quickly and easily
deployed across OCI's public regions, Government Clouds, sovereign
clouds, OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy, OCI Compute
Cloud@Customer, and OCI Roving Edge Devices. The availability of
NVIDIA AI Enterprise across OCI's distributed cloud will help
customers meet security, sovereignty, regulatory, and compliance
requirements when developing, deploying, and operating their
enterprise AI stack. NVIDIA AI Enterprise will be available as a
deployment image for GPU instances and Kubernetes clusters using
OCI Kubernetes Engine.
To further help customers accelerate their AI deployments, OCI
AI Blueprints provide no-code deployment recipes that enable
customers to quickly run AI workloads without having to make
decisions about the software stack or manually provision the
infrastructure. The blueprints help reduce GPU onboarding time for
scaled deployments from weeks to minutes by offering clear hardware
recommendations for NVIDIA GPUs, NIM microservices, and prepackaged
observability tools.
Expansive AI and Cloud Options Help Customers Accelerate
Sovereign AI
To address digital sovereignty
requirements and accelerate the adoption of AI, many organizations
are taking advantage of accelerated computing and AI from
NVIDIA on OCI.
Nomura Research Institute (NRI), a leading global provider of
consulting services and system solutions, uses Oracle Alloy to help
its customers move to the cloud faster and more securely. With
Oracle Alloy, NRI can provide customers in Japan with new customized services and help
them access the latest AI and cloud technologies in a sovereign
environment.
"We rely on Oracle Alloy in our Tokyo and Osaka datacenters to advance our multicloud
strategy and help our customers drive innovation," said
Shigekazu Ohmoto, senior corporate
managing director, NRI. "To provide our customers with
high-performance infrastructure within a dedicated cloud
environment, we've deployed NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and plan to deploy
NVIDIA AI Enterprise. This will help support our customers'
enterprise AI use cases, including generative AI and large language
model development, while adhering to stringent governance,
security, and data sovereignty requirements."
e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of e&, serves more than
13 million customers and over 300,000 small and medium-sized
businesses in the UAE. Deploying NVIDIA Hopper GPU clusters within
its OCI Dedicated Region has helped e& UAE facilitate the
localization and development of new generative AI services and
applications for its customers.
"At e& UAE, we are committed to pioneering AI-driven
innovation while ensuring data sovereignty, security, and
operational control," said Hazem Gebili, senior vice president,
Enterprise Service Solutions, e& UAE. "The strategic
collaboration with Oracle and NVIDIA enables us to accelerate our
sovereign AI initiatives, empowering us to develop and deploy
cutting-edge AI services tailored for government, enterprise, and
smart city applications. By leveraging OCI Dedicated Region across
our two UAE datacenters, we gain seamless access to over 150
on-premises cloud services, allowing us to modernize
mission-critical operations and business support systems with
AI-powered efficiencies. The integration of NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and
NVIDIA AI Enterprise further strengthens our capabilities, enabling
us to rapidly scale, innovate, and deliver next-generation
generative AI solutions that redefine customer experiences and
business transformation in the UAE."
Zoom Communications, Inc., an AI-first work platform for human
connection, is using OCI to support Zoom AI Companion in
Saudi Arabia. OCI is helping Zoom
keep customer data in-region and deliver AI-first solutions. To
support compliance with Saudi Arabian regulations while maintaining
top-tier performance, Zoom optimized its AI models to run on
efficient OCI GPU shapes.
"Saudi Arabia is a key market
for Zoom, and we continue to invest in Zoom Workplace and AI
Companion to provide solutions that meet the unique needs of
businesses here," said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of product
and engineering, Zoom. "By optimizing AI Companion to operate
efficiently with GPU shapes accelerated by NVIDIA in a local OCI
region, we're enabling Saudi companies to take full advantage of AI
without facing constraints."
