AIPG: Innovation Lab with NVIDIA DGX

The NVIDIA DGX H100 environment includes 4x NVIDIA DGX H100 systems, three different 400GbE Ethernet fabrics (Arista, Cisco and NVIDIA), 400Gb NVIDIA InfiniBand fabric, and a choice of six different storage solutions to choose from (Dell, NetApp, Pure Storage, Vast, IBM, DDN).  The environment also includes NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and the Run:ai Optimization and Orchestration solution. Customers can leverage the environment to better understand the level of effort needed to build and support their own environments along with validating the integration of different enterprise networking and storage solutions. Customers can also leverage synthetic load generation solutions to record power and performance metrics or can build their own use cases to better understand how the performance of different workloads within an integrated solution of their choosing.

This lab provides a comprehensive environment for our customers to explore, understand, and master the deployment of the NVIDIA DGX H100 system for advanced AI applications. Equipped with four NVIDIA DGX H100 systems and a robust selection of networking and storage solutions, this lab is designed to:
