OpenNebula Systems has announced its validation by Nvidia to deliver fully integrated, AI-ready cloud infrastructure built on Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet networking.
Now integrated with Spectrum-X Ethernet, which is specifically designed for AI-scale networking, OpenNebula’s aim is to deliver a production-ready, software-defined cloud platform optimised for AI workloads. Additionally, the integration could enable secure, end-to-end multi-tenancy across compute, GPU and network layers on a shared Spectrum-X Ethernet fabric.
As the company behind the OpenNebula cloud management and virtualisation platform, OpenNebula is widely used as a secure, multi-tenant platform for AI Factories. It provides strong isolation, governance and full lifecycle management for large-scale accelerated infrastructure.
“Through our collaboration with Nvidia, we are extending OpenNebula to support the networking and performance requirements of modern AI infrastructures,” said Ignacio M. Llorente, CEO of OpenNebula Systems. “This integration allows customers to manage multi-tenant AI environments where Nvidia Grace Blackwell and Nvidia Grace Blackwell Ultra compute and Spectrum-X Ethernet networking are tightly orchestrated and optimised as a single platform.”
AI workloads, particularly those that are used for large-scale training and multi-tenant inference, are sensitive to latency, congestion and jitter. With this in mind, the validation represents a step forward in delivering secure, high-performance, AI-ready cloud infrastructure for enterprise and service providers across Europe – particularly for large-scale AI Factories and AI Gigafactories.
The companies said the integration should enable high-performance segmentation of infrastructure, enabling multiple tenants to operate efficiently and securely on shared AI platforms.
Additionally, the integration is fully automated. OpenNebula will orchestrate tenant provisioning, network configuration and device attachment through Spectrum-X Ethernet to reduce operational complexity and risk.
OpenNebula’s control plane is fully operational on Nvidia Air and provides a more simplified and cost-effective environment for testing, integration and validation at scale. Customers are able to explore the platform, making it practical for assessment and large-scale AI Factory and Gigafactory proof points.
“OpenNebula’s integration with Nvidia Spectrum-X Ethernet brings cloud-native agility to the AI Factory, enabling customers to orchestrate multi-tenant accelerated infrastructure with maximum performance and predictability,” said Amit Katz, VP of Networking at Nvidia.
“Nvidia Air enables OpenNebula and our ecosystem partners to validate and simulate large-scale AI Factory deployments, giving customers a powerful environment to evaluate and accelerate their AI cloud strategies.”
