Oracle announces distributed cloud capabilities with NVIDIA AI Enterprise

Oracle has announced an end-to-end, cloud-native software platform that accelerates data science and streamlines the development and deployment of production-ready AI, and 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.

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.
