SAN JOSE, Calif. - NetApp (NASDAQ: NASDAQ:NTAP) has announced a collaboration with NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) to enhance generative AI applications, integrating NVIDIA's NeMo Retriever microservices into NetApp's data infrastructure. This partnership aims to facilitate secure, private access to vast amounts of data for enterprises using AI.
The collaboration allows NetApp's ONTAP customers to utilize generative AI to interact with their data across various formats and systems, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer relationship management (CRM) systems. The technology promises to maintain data privacy and security while enabling businesses to derive insights from their proprietary data.
NetApp's CEO, George Kurian, emphasized the company's role in unstructured data management and its efforts to accelerate over 500 businesses in AI readiness. NVIDIA's CEO, Jensen Huang, highlighted the potential of generative AI applications to transform productivity through data interaction.
The joint solution by NetApp and NVIDIA is designed to reduce the complexity and uncertainty for enterprises wanting to build internal AI applications without compromising data security. It supports data queries through simple prompts while upholding existing access controls.
The partnership extends NetApp's AI offerings, which have already been adopted by numerous customers for AI model training and inference. The capabilities of the new integration will be demonstrated at the NVIDIA GTC conference, a global AI event in San Jose, California.
This initiative is set to reduce the friction, cost, and time to value for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by leveraging NetApp's data management infrastructure and NVIDIA's AI tools. The information for this article is based on a press release statement.
