WekaIO recently announced that it would support NVIDIA’s turbocharged HGX supercomputing platform. The company plans to integrate its Weka FS limitless data platform with NVIDIA’s all new turbocharged supercomputing platform to deliver best in class performance that enterprises demand.
NVIDIA’s HGX platform currently supports three main technologies, which include the NVIDIA NDR 400G InfiniBand networking, NVIDIA A100 80GB GPU, NVIDIA Magnum IO GPUDirect storage software, and NVIDIA NDR 400G InfiniBand networking.
The close collaborative relationship between the two companies has led to this announcement of the major integration to improve performance. NVIDIA official, Don Harris, said, “Advanced artificial intelligence development requires powerful computing, which is why NVIDIA works with innovative solution providers like WekaIO.”
