NVIDIA unveils RTX PRO Servers & AI Factory for enterprises

NVIDIA has introduced NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and a new NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design to support the increased transition of enterprise IT infrastructure towards AI-driven data centres.

The new servers, which feature the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, are intended to enhance performance and energy efficiency across enterprise workloads by adopting the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture. According to NVIDIA, these servers have been developed to handle a variety of applications, including AI, engineering simulation, business systems, and digital AI agents.

In addition to the new hardware, NVIDIA is offering the Enterprise AI Factory validated design for constructing on-premises infrastructure. The design bundles RTX PRO Servers with NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking, NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, NVIDIA-Certified Storage systems and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. This combination aims to accelerate workflows in product design, engineering simulations, and a rapidly expanding range of AI-enabled business systems.

Jensen Huang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA, said, "AI is revolutionising every industry — every company will build or rent AI factories to run their businesses and power the intelligence of their products. With our global partner ecosystem, we're helping enterprises infuse AI into their workforce, automate their factories and build AI-native products."

Initial adopters of the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design include companies such as Cadence, Foxconn and Lilly. These organisations plan to integrate the technology with RTX PRO Servers to advance their operations and modernise processes.

Foxconn is one of the businesses announcing plans to implement the technology across its global semiconductor and electronics manufacturing operations. The company will also use the solution for smart electric vehicles, factory digital twins, healthcare, and robotics applications.

Young Liu, Chairman of Foxconn, commented, "Foxconn is harnessing the performance of NVIDIA Blackwell to build AI infrastructure that will transform every facet of electronics manufacturing. Through our close collaboration with NVIDIA, we will accelerate the integration of AI across our global operations and deliver smarter electronics for the world."

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell is positioned by NVIDIA as a universal data centre GPU capable of running demanding workloads such as multimodal AI inference, physical AI, scientific computing, graphics, and video processing. Global system partners can deliver servers supporting up to eight RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs, and include options such as NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs with PCIe Gen 6 switches.

NVIDIA aims to support enterprises in accelerating AI and data science workloads with its NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. Developers will have access to NVIDIA NIM and NeMo microservices to optimise AI inference performance and agent accuracy, with additional NVIDIA AI Blueprints available for digital human and AI query engine applications. The servers can also be used for industrial digital twin and robotics simulation workflows with the NVIDIA Omniverse platform.

The new validated design is based on recommended hardware configurations from NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures. It serves to provide customers with AI software stack recommendations, deployment best practices, and scaling guidance to help them efficiently meet growing AI business requirements. Customers with large-scale or advanced workloads may also consider deploying NVIDIA HGX B200 systems within their Blackwell AI factories.

NVIDIA's ecosystem of partners building these types of AI factory infrastructures include system makers such as Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Lenovo. These companies will offer full-stack solutions with NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. Additionally, data centre system partners including Advantech, ASRock Rack, ASUS, Compal, Foxconn, GIGABYTE, Inventec, MiTAC Computing, MSI, Pegatron, Quanta Cloud Technology, Supermicro, Wistron and Wiwynn will provide RTX PRO Servers to their customers.

The infrastructure is compatible with a wide range of enterprise software platforms, including Ansys, Cadence, CrowdStrike, Elastic, Red Hat, Siemens and Synopsys. For storage, enterprises deploying the new GPUs can choose from NVIDIA-Certified Storage partners such as DDN, Dell, HPE, Hitachi Vantara, IBM, NetApp, Nutanix, Pure Storage, VAST Data and WEKA to support a broad spectrum of workloads.

Consulting businesses including Accenture, Deloitte, EY, Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro are assisting enterprises with the transition to Blackwell-accelerated data centres, using the Enterprise AI Factory design to enhance application performance across their operations.
