Nutanix Joins OPEA to Further Open Enterprise AI

Nutanix Cloud Platform full-stack solution for AI with OPEA and Intel AI accelerators.

Reduce costs for your AI initiatives by using Nutanix infrastructure with OPEA and Intel AI technology

Understanding how different AI workloads can run efficiently on different AI accelerators has the potential to deliver cost savings while still delivering the outstanding performance customers need and expect. Intel inference solutions built using OPEA help accelerate AI apps using Intel Xeon CPUs with Intel AMX for cost-effective solutions to run LLMs or build retrieval augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.

NCP is a full-stack hybrid cloud software solution that provides customers with the choice of hardware, virtualization, containerization, data services, and much more using Intel enabled infrastructure.

New AI workloads may be used with existing hardware today to get started on AI initiatives using just CPU-based AI acceleration with Intel AMX, which is cost-effective, light on power consumption, and can run inferencing against many large language models easily with NAI.

Improve the resiliency of security for your private data

Data is the lifeblood of a modern AI strategy. A continuous and private data pipeline for GenAI operations has many moving parts and can be daunting to build. OPEA, Intel, and Nutanix make data operations for AI simple to operate, resilient in nature, and private for your peace of mind.

RAG is the killer application for enterprise AI by feeding business data into GenAI models, creating new insights, discrete customer experiences, and content for specific customers.

Key parts of NCP, namely, the Nutanix Unified Storage and Nutanix Database Service solutions, help deliver hybrid cloud data services for AI while enabling data sovereignty and Day 1 resiliency. From multicloud snapshots of applications to total awareness of structured and unstructured data, Nutanix delivers control of data for AI. Intel Xeon CPUs with Intel AMX provide the key AI acceleration for RAG with hardware-enabled security to protect these assets.

Enable Day 2 operations for AI workloads

Like any workload, the real effort begins when it's launched. AI is no different. From support to performance challenges, understanding where and how AI applications can fail means requiring a complete view of an ecosystem, from hardware to data.

OPEA provides key solutions from blueprints to readiness assessments to assert visibility and control over your AI ecosystem. For example, the OPEA AutoRAG project helps evaluate your system end-to-end for performance.

When paired with NAI, you can use its dashboard to gauge LLM query times or even GPU usage at the hardware level for a holistic view from app to infrastructure, with capabilities to audit, monitor and test under one pane of glass.

GenAI solutions do not require a hefty infrastructure investment. Start creating and developing your enterprise GenAI solutions using OPEA with NCP to achieve a resilient AI infrastructure that's private, centrally managed, and includes Day 2 operations for today and tomorrow.
