With a new Oracle-NVIDIA AI hardware collaboration, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) now offers new GPU alternatives and AI infrastructure services.

This action intends to give enterprises of all sizes wishing to exploit AI capabilities greater options, help Oracle challenge cloud giants, and signify a mature artificial intelligence sector. The release focuses on additional virtual machine choices for NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the inclusion of NVIDIA L40S GPUs in OCI's compute solutions.

In an interview, Leo Leung, vice president of Oracle Tech and OCI, stated that this was a significant turning point for both the AI industry and their collaboration with NVIDIA. He continued by saying that they were providing high-level satisfaction to clients for that type of maturing and expansion of use cases.

Positioned as adaptable choices for a variety of AI workloads, including inference, training of smaller models, and graphics-intensive applications like digital twins, are the new L40S GPU instances.

Oracle AI hardware offerings are giving clients more alternatives for how to deploy AI workloads by introducing these new GPU options in both virtual machine and bare metal configurations. Leung underlined the significance of bare metal offerings, claiming that there could be no disagreement with them. You will have access to every resource that is available to the client. And that's crucial for the early stages of AI, when users seek out the highest level of efficiency.

Updates to Oracle's "OCI Supercluster" service, which can now support up to 65,000 NVIDIA GPUs, are also included in the statement. Organizations training the largest AI models with hundreds of billions of parameters are the target audience for this mammoth scale effort.

According to industry observers, Oracle is strategically expanding in order to more aggressively compete in the AI cloud market, which is now dominated by Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and Amazon Web Services. Oracle is putting itself in the running for businesses wishing to implement extensive AI workloads by utilizing its alliance with NVIDIA.

NVIDIA gains from the collaboration as well, as it gets access to yet another significant cloud platform to demonstrate its most recent GPU innovations and broaden its enterprise market reach.
