Open-Source AI Factory Software: How NVIDIA Cloud Partners Build and Operate GPU Infrastructure at Scale
Building an AI factory isn't just a hardware problem — it's a software and operations problem. In this session we will share the lessons NVIAI learned from operating frontier AI factories at scale, and we will discuss how those learnings are being externalized as open-source software through NVIDIA Cloud Accelerator (NCX). NCX puts these learnings directly in the hands of NVIDIA Cloud Partners and Infrastructure Software Providers as deployable software components. We'll walk through the NCX software portfolio and show how the modular components compose into a reference stack for cloud partners building production AI infrastructure. Key takeaways: How NCX accelerates deployment of the AI Platform stack real-world cloud providers operate How NCX addresses day-0, day-1, and day-2 challenges
