NVIDIA's NeMo Framework and NetApp ONTAP AI Base Pod Part of AI Proving Ground

A new environment within WWT's AI Proving Ground is setting a new benchmark to prove out client benefits with the adoption of Gen AI as it harnesses the power of NVIDIA's NeMo Framework, NetApp's ONTAP AI Base Pod (AIPod) and NetApp's first-party cloud solution from AWS - FSxN. 

The AI Proving Ground is designed to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced AI models, focusing on conversational AI, natural language processing, and deep learning applications. By leveraging NVIDIA's NeMo, an open-source toolkit for creating state-of-the-art conversational AI models, the AI Proving Ground facilitates the creation of sophisticated AI systems capable of understanding and generating human-like text and speech. Complementing this, the integration of NetApp's ONTAP portfolio provides a secure, scalable infrastructure optimized for on-premise and hybrid multicloud AI workloads. The result is an intelligent, enterprise-ready AI architecture that accelerates outcomes and associated efficiencies for customers.

This environment will demonstrate the ability to improve customer experiences through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), optimizing operational efficiencies and developing new AI-driven products and services. Access to this environment is currently available with a statement of work type of activity, but it will shortly be available as a scheduled lab and ultimately an on-demand lab. 

The AI Proving Ground is part of WWT's broader initiative to empower businesses with cutting-edge technology solutions that drive growth, efficiency and competitive advantage in the digital age.
