NetApp and NVIDIA Strengthen Intelligent Infrastructure for AI Factories with New Certifications and Partnerships

Here’s the translation into American English:


NetApp, the leading company in intelligent data infrastructure, today announced the validation of its high-performance enterprise storage systems with NetApp ONTAP® for environments that drive the training and deployment of Artificial Intelligence (AI) models. For the first time, customers will benefit from validated configurations for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, NVIDIA’s cloud partners, and NVIDIA-certified systems, combining NetApp’s advanced data management with the power of the NVIDIA AI Data platform.

The alliance between both companies strengthens to address the current challenge for businesses: converting data into useful knowledge and automating processes through AI. According to Jonsi Stefansson, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of NetApp, "The collaboration with NVIDIA positions NetApp as the benchmark in intelligent data infrastructure for AI factories, helping companies define a robust data strategy for the future."

AI Factories: The New Competitive Landscape

At the NVIDIA GTC 2025 event, NetApp presented significant updates:

  • Validation of the NetApp AFF A90 system for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD: This system, regarded as one of the most secure on the market, integrates into DGX SuperPOD solutions to offer advanced capabilities for managing enterprise data and scalability in multi-user environments.
  • Certification of the AFF A90 for NVIDIA cloud partners with HGX B200 and HGX H200 reference architectures: This certification will enable AI service providers to offer scalable, high-performance infrastructure tailored for secure, multi-user environments.
  • NetApp AIPod receives NVIDIA-Certified Storage certification: This recognition validates AIPod’s ability to support NVIDIA’s reference enterprise architectures, covering AI-intensive workloads and accelerating performance from platforms like NVIDIA L40S to HGX H200 supercomputers. Additionally, NetApp announced a new version of the AIPod in collaboration with Lenovo, integrated with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform, making it easier for companies to adopt generative and agent-based AI solutions without needing specialized data science teams.

Intelligent Data Management: Key to Advancing AI

The era of intelligence requires infrastructures that allow organizations to extract value from data without constraints or silos. With the NetApp ONTAP platform and its unification and scaling capabilities, companies will be able to manage massive environments of unstructured data and power AI workloads at the pace dictated by their innovation.

Charlie Boyle, Vice President of DGX Platforms at NVIDIA, emphasized: "The integration of NetApp’s advanced data management capabilities with the NVIDIA AI Data platform and NVIDIA reference architectures enables businesses and cloud providers to deploy AI training and deployment environments with unprecedented performance and efficiency."
