NetApp ONTAP AI, Powered by NVIDIA

August 1, 2018

This document contains validation information for the architecture that is described in the technical white paper WP-7267: Scalable AI Infrastructure. The design from that white paper was implemented by using the NetApp® AFF A800, an all-flash FAS system; NVIDIA® DGX-1™ servers; and Cisco® Nexus® 3232C 100Gb Ethernet switches. We validated the operation and performance of this system by using industrystandard benchmark tools, and, based on the validation testing results, this architecture delivers excellent training and inferencing performance. The results also demonstrate adequate storage headroom for supporting multiple DGX-1 servers. You can also easily and independently scale compute and storage resources from half-rack to multi-rack configurations with predictable performance to meet any machine learning workload requirement.
