NVIDIA DGX A100 – Acting as the Universal system for AI Infrastructure

Posted on 20 September, 2021

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the world by tackling extreme technical challenges that are often beyond human capabilities or in some cases would take human months or even years to solve.

As a result, many businesses will need to look to make long-term investments in implementing or improving their AI infrastructure to keep up and futureproof their businesses. The great thing is that AI infrastructures can be applied across a variety of sectors, use cases and business functions.

For those who are looking for a universal system for a variety of AI workloads the NVIDIA DGX A100 is an elite player in the game. It is the world's first 5 petaFLOPS AI system - offering density, performance, and flexibility in the NVIDIA Tensor Core GPU, integrating eight A100 GPUs with up to 640GB of GPU memory and is fully optimised for NVIDIA CUDA-X™ software. The datacentre scalability offered is hard matched with the featured Mellanox ConnectX-6 VPI InfiniBand/Ethernet network adapters with 500 GB/s of peak bi-directional bandwidth. You can look to consolidate training, inference, and analytics into a completely unified and easy to deploy AI infrastructure - plug in and play, with the A100.
