3 Ways NVIDIA NIM and GPT-in-a-Box 2.0 Accelerate Your Enterprise GenAI

These recent announcements aren’t just superficial hype. The combination of NVIDIA AI Enterprise NIM and Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box 2.0 not only promises unprecedented speed for your GenAI deployments but also unparalleled adaptability to a rapidly evolving AI landscape. 

But is adaptability critical for GenAI success? Absolutely, and here are three reasons why.

1. Quick Access to New and Updated GenAI Models

GenAI models are constantly evolving, and today’s top performers might not meet your needs tomorrow. Consistency, support, and viability for a large-language model (LLM) are also key points to consider. Like code projects before them, a dead end for an LLM could stall or derail your GenAI offering.

With NVIDIA NIM and Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box, the workflow to update or replace a model will be seamless. 

NVIDIA NIM provides a library of LLMs curated for enterprise GenAI. These models are tied to APIs that developers will leverage to connect GenAI apps to models. A model change or replacement with NVIDIA NIM is invisible to the end-user and they’ll see the results quickly. 

Emerging models are becoming increasingly more powerful by their addition of multiple types of generated AI content beyond text, like pictures, audio, or even video. These multimodal models create a single interface for GenAI content creation.

Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box creates a platform to manage models, data sets, and infrastructure for GenAI. The upcoming 2.0 release - now in development - will integrate NVIDIA NIM.  These models and data will sit closest to their users from the edge to the public cloud ensuring performance. The infrastructure of GPT-in-a-Box is based on hyperconvergence that combines all the typical hardware elements like compute, networking, storage, and GPUs into a single form factor that can be scaled up, or down, from a small closet to a massive datacenter. 

NVIDIA NIM combined with GPT-in-a–Box 2.0 will create a model ‘factory’ where choice, adaptability, and speed remove the pressure of picking the best model, and instead allow you to choose the right model.

2. Private Control over GenAI Models and Data

Running GenAI on Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box gives you native data services that are resilient and scalable and will provide NVIDIA AI Enterprise NIM users a solid foundation for the storage of GenAI workflows. 

GenAI workloads and models mainly run on containers. NVIDIA NIM is itself a set of microservices and containers. For many GenAI teams that need enterprise-grade data availability, simple data management, backup, and recovery, GPT-in-a-Box provides comprehensive container data services: Nutanix Data Services for Kubernetes.

Many customers demand security and privacy for GenAI, and both are built into the data fabric Nutanix provides. Your data is better protected wherever you run your GenAI workloads, even in public cloud environments, with the Nutanix Cloud Clusters platform.  

3. Software-Defined Infrastructure Speeds Gen AI Success 

GenAI is evolving rapidly, demanding a broad range of compute performance and storage capacity to run, protect, and store both Gen AI models and data. Nutanix and NVIDIA are working together to simplify access to new and updated models running on a software-defined architecture that easily integrates new GPUs while providing consistent data services across block, file, and object storage.   

The Nutanix Cloud Platform with GPT-in-a-Box running NVIDIA AI Enterprise is currently validated to run on the Nutanix AHV hypervisor. This solution combines a scalable infrastructure platform with a scalable GenAI framework, enabling fast results that can adapt to your business, anywhere you run your AI workloads.

The Time for AI Starts Now

There has never been a better time to determine your AI strategy. NVIDIA NIM offers developers a cost-free way to get into GenAI with turn-key APIs and models, while Nutanix GPT-in-a-Box is under development to accelerate the deployment of NVIDIA NIM with a software-defined infrastructure for all your data to scale anywhere.
