AsAIandmachine learningare putting tremendous pressure on traditional IT workloads, VMware,NvidiaandDellTechnologies are collaborating on a new initiative called Project Monterey.
Enterprises that want to work with these emerging technologies without putting additional strain on their servers and infrastructure can now register to participate in this project as part of an early access program to dramatically improve the performance, manageability and security of their environments.
Through their collaboration,VMware,Dell TechnologiesandNvidiaaim to evolve the architecture of the data center, cloud and edge to one that is both software-defined and hardware-accelerated to address changing application requirements.
Project Monterey
AI and other compute-intensive workloads require real-time data streaming analysis which puts a heavy load onserver CPUs. As a result of this additional load, the percentage of processing power required to run tasks that aren’t an integral part of application workloads has also increased leading to a reduction in data center efficiency.
Project Monterey aims to address this by leading the shift to advancedhybrid clouddata center architectures that benefit from hypervisor and accelerated software-defined networking, security and storage.
By registering for early access to Project Monterey to use its preconfigured clusters, enterprises will be able to explore the evolution ofVMware Cloud Foundationwhile taking advantage of the disruptive hardware capabilities of the Dell EMC Power Edge R750 server equipped with aNvidia Blue-Field 2data processing unit (DPU) according to a newblog postfrom Nvidia.
A number of functions that previously ran on the core CPU are offloaded, isolated and accelerated on the DPU to support new possibilities such as improved performance for application and infrastructure services, enhanced visibility, application security and observability, offloadedfirewallcapabilities and improved data center efficiency and cost for enterprise, edge and cloud.
