Oracle and NVIDIA have announced a strategic partnership to integrate NVIDIA’s accelerated computing and inference capabilities with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) for the first time. The goal is clear: to accelerate the development and deployment of agent-based AI applications for businesses around the world.
With this integration, over 160 AI tools and 100 NVIDIA NIM™ microservices will be natively available through the OCI dashboard, simplifying access to advanced AI models without the need for complex configurations.
A Complete Ecosystem for Businesses
The NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform will be directly integrated into OCI, enabling direct access to optimized inference microservices that include the NVIDIA Llama Nemotron models, designed for advanced reasoning tasks. This solution can be deployed on OCI bare-metal instances and Kubernetes clusters, with direct support and unified billing through Oracle.
This combination will allow companies to leverage over 150 AI and cloud services from Oracle along with NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, whether in data center environments, public clouds, or edge deployments.
AI Applied to Critical Sectors
Soley Therapeutics, a biotechnology company focused on discovering new drugs using AI, has already started working with OCI, NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. According to Yerem Yeghiazarians, CEO of Soley, this collaboration is enabling them to handle petabytes of data and accelerate cell prediction and analysis to find potential treatments for cancer and other complex diseases.
Simplified Deployments with Blueprints
One of the most innovative aspects of this alliance is access to OCI AI Blueprints, no-code deployment templates that allow companies to run AI workloads in just a few minutes. These templates include hardware recommendations, use of NVIDIA GPUs, NIM microservices, and preconfigured observability tools.
Also, NVIDIA offers its own Blueprints, with reference workflows for building enterprise AI applications, from virtual assistants to real-time recommendation systems.
The NVIDIA Omniverse simulation platform and NVIDIA Isaac Sim development stations will soon be available in the OCI Marketplace, preconfigured to run advanced physical AI and simulation applications.
Real-Time Inference
The integration of NVIDIA NIM directly into OCI Data Science will allow data scientists and developers to deploy inference endpoints with preconfigured models in just minutes. This will accelerate the development of conversational assistants, recommendation engines, and intelligent copilots, all managed within OCI itself, maintaining data security and privacy.
Oracle Database 23ai Optimized with NVIDIA
Another key component of the collaboration is the enhancement of Oracle Database 23ai, which will integrate accelerated vector search capabilities using NVIDIA GPUs and the NVIDIA cuVS library. This enhancement will enable the management of massive data volumes and perform advanced searches on text, images, and videos at unprecedented speeds.
DeweyVision, a company specializing in computer vision, is already leveraging Oracle Database 23ai and NVIDIA GPUs to provide ultra-fast search and automated organization of audiovisual content in the film industry.
AI Without Borders
Oracle and NVIDIA will continue to expand their AI infrastructure with the latest GPUs across all public regions, sovereign clouds, and on-premises environments. Notably, the upcoming deployment of NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems in the OCI Supercluster will offer up to 131,072 GPUs available in the cloud to meet the demands of the largest AI supercomputers on the market.
Companies like SoundHound, a leader in conversational intelligence, are already using this infrastructure to process billions of voice queries per year and accelerate the training of their next voice AI models.
Towards a New Generation of Enterprise AI
The collaboration between Oracle and NVIDIA represents a crucial step toward building AI factories at the enterprise level, where real-time inference and automated decision-making will be the norm. The combination of NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra with the capabilities of OCI Supercluster opens a new horizon for companies looking to transform their data into applied intelligence.
