NetApp Teams with NVIDIA to Redefine Enterprise RAG and Power Agentic AI

NetApp’s end-to-end enterprise AI vision and intelligent ONTAP data infrastructure—combined with powerful NVIDIA NeMo Retriever and NIM microservices—transform how customers discover, search and curate data across hybrid multi-cloud to fuel AI applications


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 September 2024 NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today unveiled an advanced generative AI data vision and end-to-end integrated solutions that combine NVIDIA AI software and accelerated computing with NetApp intelligent data infrastructure for enterprise retrieval augmented generation (RAG) to power the future of agentic AI applications.

This will bring new capabilities to the NetApp ONTAP unified storage operating system that can leverage a new NetApp global metadata namespace to unify data stores for the tens of thousands of enterprises that trust NetApp for their data infrastructure. It opens up exabytes of enterprise data stored across clouds and on-premises infrastructure to drive RAG capabilities that can put enterprises’ entire data estate to work, accelerating next-generation agentic AI applications.

The solution brings together proven NetApp AIPod architecture with NetApp ONTAP and the NetApp BlueXP unified control plane, with NVIDIA NeMo Retriever and NIM microservices, which are part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.

“To power AI applications and drive transformative progress for their business, enterprises must unlock the potential of their data,” said Harv Bhela, Chief Product Officer at NetApp. “Combining the NetApp data management engine and NVIDIA AI software empowers AI applications to securely access and leverage vast amounts of data, paving the way for intelligent, agentic AI that tackles complex business challenges and fuels innovation.”

“Data is fundamental to the evolution of generative AI,” said Manuvir Das, vice president, Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA. “By combining NVIDIA AI software and accelerated computing with NetApp intelligent data infrastructure, enterprises can turn their data into knowledge, and AI agents can turn that knowledge into action.”

With the new NetApp AI capabilities built into NetApp AIPod – certified for NVIDIA DGX BasePOD infrastructure and NVIDIA OVX solutions— and managed through BlueXP, NetApp customers will be able to easily discover, search, and curate data on-prem and in the public cloud based on a set of criteria, honoring existing policy-based governance criteria.

Once the data collection has been established through NetApp BlueXP, it can be dynamically connected to NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, where the dataset will be processed and vectorized to be accessible for enterprise GenAI deployments with appropriate access controls and privacy guardrails. This creates the foundation for a generative AI flywheel to power next-generation agentic AI applications that can autonomously and securely tap into data to complete a broad range of tasks to support customer service, business operations, financial services and more.

The end-to-end integration unlocks enterprise data for AI and takes a responsible approach by preserving the security and policy guardrails throughout the AI data and model lifecycle. This integration was first referenced as a proof-of-concept shown by Huang in his NVIDIA GTC 2024 keynote address. This secure and compliant GenAI integration will be available for customers to experience at NetApp INSIGHT today and is targeted to be released as a technology preview to customers later this calendar year.

NetApp has also begun the NVIDIA certification process of NetApp ONTAP storage on the AFF A90 platform with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, which will enable organizations to leverage industry-leading data management capabilities for their largest AI projects.

NetApp Powers the Future of AI with Intelligent Data Infrastructure

Innovations across NetApp portfolio and collaborations with industry leaders including NVIDIA drive business outcomes with AI


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 September 2024 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced new developments in its collaboration with industry leaders to accelerate AI innovation. By providing the intelligent data infrastructure required to make GenAI work, NetApp is helping organizations tap into one of the most important developments for business and IT in the last decade.

GenAI powers practical and highly visible use cases for business innovation such as generating content, summarizing large amounts of information, and responding to questions. Gartner research predicts that spending on AI software will grow to $297.9 billion by 2027 and that GenAI will account for over one-third of that. The key to success in the AI era is mastery over governable, trusted, and traceable data.

Yesterday, NetApp CEO George Kurian kicked off NetApp INSIGHT 2024 with an expansive vision of this era of data intelligence. A large part of the AI challenge is a data challenge, and Kurian laid out a vision for how intelligent data infrastructure can ensure the relevant data is secure, governed, and always updated to feed a unified, integrated GenAI stack.

Today at NetApp INSIGHT, NetApp will be unveiling further innovations in intelligent data infrastructure, including a transformative vision for AI running on NetApp ONTAP®, the leading operating system for unified storage. Specifically, NetApp’s vision includes:

  • NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD Storage Certification for NetApp ONTAP: NetApp has begun the NVIDIA certification process of NetApp ONTAP storage on the AFF A90 platform with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD AI infrastructure, which will enable organizations to leverage industry-leading data management capabilities for their largest AI projects.

  • General Availability of AIPod with Lenovo for NVIDIA OVX: Announced in May 2024, the NetApp AIPod with Lenovo ThinkSystem servers for NVIDIA OVX converged infrastructure solution is now generally available. This infrastructure solution is designed for enterprises aiming to harness generative AI and RAG capabilities to boost productivity, streamline operations, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
  • New capabilities for FlexPod AI: NetApp is releasing new features for its FlexPod AI solution, the hybrid infrastructure and operation platform that accelerate the delivery of modern workloads. FlexPod AI running RAG simplifies, automates, and secures AI applications, enabling organizations to leverage the full potential of their data. With Cisco compute, Cisco network, and NetApp storage, customers experience lower costs, efficient scaling, faster time to value, and reduced risks.

“Implementing AI requires a collection of finely tuned pieces of technology infrastructure to work together perfectly,” said Mike Leone, Practice Director, Data Analytics & AI, Enterprise Strategy Group, part of TechTarget. “NetApp delivers robust storage and data management capabilities to help customers run and support their AI data pipelines. But storage is one piece of the puzzle. By collaborating with other industry-leading vendors in the AI infrastructure space, NetApp customers can be confident that their compute, networking, storage, and AI software solutions will integrate seamlessly to drive AI innovation.”

NetApp Accelerates Critical Block Storage Workloads with New High-Performance Systems

Advances in intelligent data infrastructure enable simplicity, powerful high-end capabilities, and affordability for enterprise storage


SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 September 2024 – NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced the release of its new all-flash NetApp ASA A-Series storage systems, optimized for block storage, to enable storage modernization for every organization. With these new systems and continued advancements to NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure, customers no longer need to make tradeoffs between operational simplicity, high-end capabilities, and affordability in their storage.

The new all-flash NetApp ASA A-Series systems are positioned to help customers manage their most advanced block storage workloads by providing three key benefits:

  • Simplicity: Customers will be able to leverage a storage solution so simple that anyone can deploy, manage, and upgrade it. With deployment in minutes and provisioning in seconds, adopting ASA systems is fast and hassle-free. And day-to-day management, driven by built-in AIOps and deep integration with VMware, consists of just a few steps that anyone can handle.
  • Power: IT teams can use the new systems to accelerate VMware and database apps with market-leading performance, proven reliability, and intelligent data management.

“With the opening of Waso Cafe at Galaxy Macau, we now offer more than 120 dining options where guests can experience a wide variety of cuisines, further reinforcing our pledge to showcase “Authentic Flavor from the Heart” while infusing the resort with a fresh burst of vitality.” Kevin Kelley said.

The three celebrities eagerly took to the kitchen after the ribbon-cutting ceremony to craft their personal favorites. Pakho Chau took on the challenge of crafting the Iced Milk Tea with Red Bean and Grass Jelly, meticulously measuring and combining the perfect portions of grass jelly, crushed ice, and chilled milk tea before pouring them into a cup and topping it off with sweet, fresh red beans. The resulting drink was visually stunning, a testament to his culinary prowess. Venus Wong opted for the iconic “Waso Pineapple Bun,” carefully inserting the scramble egg, fresh tomato slices, and butter into the golden, freshly baked bun, all while preserving the delicate crust and neatly arranging the ingredients—a feat that required skill and precision. Meanwhile, Stephanie Cheng attempted the exclusive Galaxy Macau exclusive—Pork Chop and Spicy Sardine in Pineapple Bun, skillfully paired Portuguese-style sardines with tender pork chops, then artfully stuffed the rich filling into the pineapple bun, maintaining its structural integrity while ensuring an even distribution of flavors, a task that proved more intricate than it seemed. Each of them concurred that only by trying their hand did they fully appreciate the meticulous attention to detail and years of dedication that go into every Waso Cafe dish, the accolades Waso Cafe has received from the public are well-deserved.

Under the guidance of (second from left) Waso and (fifth from left) Chef Tam Kwok Sing – Vice President of Chinese Culinary, Galaxy Macau, celebrities Pakho Chau, Venus Wong, Stephanie Cheng crafted three popular dishes: Iced Milk Tea with Red Bean and Grass Jelly, the Signature Pineapple Bun, and the Pork Chop and Spicy Sardine in Pineapple Bun.

In Waso Cafe Galaxy Macau Branch, can customers not only served with its iconic combination of “Waso Pineapple Bun and Milk Tea”, also menu that incorporates elements of Portuguese cuisine, such as the unique “Tossed Noodles with Portuguese Style Minced Pork”, “Pork Chop and Spicy Sardine in Pineapple Bun”, “Crispy Bun with Chorizo and Egg”, “Deep-fried Chicken Drumstick Marinated with Coloane Shrimp Paste”, and “Foie Gras, Beef and Egg with Rice Noodles in Tomato Soup”. The cuisines create full of enjoyment and happiness to our diners.

Waso Cafe originally sits in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, when Waso took over from her father, she often drew inspiration from daily life to create new menus. The seemingly simple “Toast with Egg Salad” was actually the favorite of Waso’s youngest son in his childhood. She prepared it for him with love, creating cherished memories that have become a hallmark of Waso Cafe’s motherly touch. The human touch, perhaps, is the most exclusive seasoning of Waso Cafe while Waso has a deep appreciation for the varied palates of her neighbors and constantly adapted and innovated her menu based on their request. When regulars walk in and order their “usual,” it’s the close bonds forged over a shared meal.
