DNVN - Microsoft and NVIDIA have just announced an expansion of their long-standing partnership with new integrations, leveraging NVIDIA's latest generative and Omniverse AI technologies across Microsoft Azure, Azure AI services, Microsoft Fabric, and Microsoft 365.
Accordingly, Microsoft will be one of the first organizations to bring the power of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell GB200 and NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand network to Azure, providing trillion-parameter platform models for natural language processing, computer vision, speech recognition...
Microsoft also announced the general availability of Azure NC H100 v5 VMs based on the NVIDIA H100 NVL platform. Designed for mid-range training and inference, the NC VM family offers customers two VM tiers of one to two NVIDIA H100 94GB PCIe Tensor Core GPUs and supports NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology, allowing customers to partition each GPU into up to seven instances, providing flexibility and scalability for diverse AI workloads.
NVIDIA NIM™ services will join Azure AI to accelerate AI deployments.
Microsoft is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA to transform science and healthcare through the integration of cloud, AI, and augmented computing technologies. By harnessing the power of Microsoft Azure along with NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud and the NVIDIA Clara™ suite of services, healthcare providers, pharmaceutical companies, biotechs, and medical device developers will soon be able to achieve rapid innovation in clinical research and healthcare delivery.
Additionally, the NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud API will be available first on Microsoft Azure later this year, enabling developers to add data interoperability, collaboration, and physics-based visualization to existing software applications.
At the NVIDIA GTC conference, Microsoft also previewed what’s possible with the Omniverse Cloud API on Microsoft Azure. Using an interactive 3D viewer in Microsoft Power BI, plant operators can see real-time plant data overlaid on their 3D digital twin to gain new insights that can help accelerate production.
NVIDIA GPUs and NVIDIA Triton Inference Server™ power AI inference predictions in Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365. Copilot for Microsoft 365 will soon be available as a dedicated physical keyboard on Windows 11 PCs, combining the power of large language models with proprietary enterprise data to deliver real-time contextual information, enabling users to enhance their creativity, productivity, and skills.
NVIDIA NIM™ services accelerate AI deployments with Azure AI. As part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, also available on the Azure Marketplace, NIM provides cloud-native services optimized for more than two dozen popular platform models, including NVIDIA-built models that users can experience at ai.nvidia.com.
For deployment, services that provide ready-made, run-anywhere containers powered by NVIDIA AI Enterprise software – including Triton Inference Server, TensorRT™, and TensorRT-LLM – help developers accelerate time to market for AI applications.
