Summary
NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory is NVIDIA’s reference-design concept for building single-tenant, enterprise-ready AI infrastructure with NVIDIA hardware, networking, storage, Kubernetes, and AI Enterprise software. The current design guide frames the AI factory as a co-designed environment for agentic AI, long-running agents, RAG, inference, customization, observability, security, and day-2 operations.
Detail
Purpose
An enterprise AI factory industrializes AI deployment inside a company’s own infrastructure and partner ecosystem. It combines accelerator capacity, high-speed networking, scalable storage, cloud-native operations, security, and model/application lifecycle software so enterprise teams can run AI as a production capability rather than a collection of prototypes.
Architecture themes
- NVIDIA accelerated computing with Blackwell-class GPUs, CPUs, DPUs, and high-speed fabrics.
- NVIDIA-Enterprise-Reference-Architectures translate the strategy into concrete hardware, software, observability, and deployment patterns such as NVIDIA-RTX-PRO-AI-Factory, NVIDIA-HGX-AI-Factory, and NVIDIA-NVL72-AI-Factory.
- NVIDIA-AI-Factory-for-Government extends the AI factory concept into government, sovereign, FedRAMP High-equivalent, and high-assurance environments.
- Red-Hat-AI-Factory-with-NVIDIA is the OpenShift AI deployment track for a co-engineered Red Hat/NVIDIA AI factory stack.
- Current and next-generation platform pages extend that map to NVIDIA-DGX-BasePOD, NVIDIA-DGX-BasePOD-B200-H200-H100-RA, NVIDIA-DGX-SuperPOD, NVIDIA-DGX-SuperPOD-B200-RA, NVIDIA-DGX-SuperPOD-GB200-RA, NVIDIA-DGX-B200, NVIDIA-DGX-B300, NVIDIA-GB200-NVL72, NVIDIA-GB300-NVL72, NVIDIA-Vera-Rubin, NVIDIA-Vera-Rubin-POD, NVIDIA-RTX-PRO-Server, NVIDIA-ConnectX-9, NVIDIA-BlueField-4, and NVIDIA-Silicon-Photonics.
- NVIDIA-BlueField-DPU for infrastructure acceleration, zero-trust style isolation, storage, networking, and security offload.
- NVIDIA-Spectrum-X networking and NVIDIA-Spectrum-X-Validated-Solution-Stack version alignment for Ethernet AI factory fabrics and inference latency control.
- NVIDIA-Quantum-X800-InfiniBand for 800 Gb/s InfiniBand scale-out fabric choices in the largest B300 and Vera Rubin-era designs.
- NVIDIA-STX and NVIDIA-CMX for AI-native storage and context memory as agentic AI pushes KV-cache and long-context data movement into the infrastructure layer.
- NVIDIA-Certified-Systems and NVIDIA-Certified-Storage for validated server and storage infrastructure.
- NVIDIA-AI-Enterprise software, including NIM, NeMo, Dynamo-Triton, GPU Operator, Network Operator, DOCA, DPF, Run:ai, and observability components.
- Kubernetes as the cloud-native control plane for agentic applications, model serving, scheduling, and lifecycle automation.
Agentic AI factory
The design guide treats agentic AI as a shift from static model serving to long-running, stateful workflows. AI-Q-style agents use routing, persistent context, retrieval, evaluation, tracing, and tool execution. The AI factory becomes the control plane for deploying, monitoring, governing, and improving those agents over time.
