Digital Realty developed a pre-configured Data Hub footprint based on typical customer deployment scenarios on NVIDIA DGX and DGX POD^TM configurations.

This creates a unified, comprehensive solution that can be deployed in days to deliver best-in-class, AI-ready IT infrastructure and enable consistent experience, security and resilience on global networks.

"Customers today need AI infrastructure that can break through data barriers and power the digital enterprise," said Chris Sharp, CTO, Digital Realty. "As an NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center Program partner, Digital Realty provides customers with globally focused, unified data center services, coupled with extensive design and construction expertise, giving them the launch pad needed to achieve their AI and digital transformation goals."

"Our customers use AI to drive their business transformation, but don't always have facilities designed to meet the unique demands of AI workloads in their data center," said Tony Paikeday, director of product marketing for DGX systems at NVIDIA. "Digital Realty offers a simplified, cost-effective means to host NVIDIA DGX POD infrastructure in world-class environments optimized for our solutions."
