VALIDATED DESIGN CERTIFICATIONS
From NetApp AIPod solutions to high-performance storage
platforms, our designs deliver the performance, scalability, and reliability needed for demanding AI/ML workloads. NVIDIA has validated high-performance NetApp enterprise storage systems with NetApp ONTAP for environments powering AI training and inferencing.
Get the benefits of validated configurations and architectures for NVIDIA—including NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, NVIDIA Cloud Partners, and NVIDIA-Certified Storage—combined with the rich and mature data management services in NetApp ONTAP critical for building AI factories.
NetApp AFX provides certified storage for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD supercomputing. It is powered by NetApp ONTAP, the industry-leading storage operating system trusted by tens of thousands of enterprise customers across industries to manage exabytes of data.
NetApp AIPod has achieved the NVIDIA-Certified Storage designation to support NVIDIA Enterprise Reference Architectures with high-performance storage.
NetApp AFF A90 enterprise storage systems with NetApp ONTAP are validated for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD.
With certification to support NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) Reference Architectures for high-performance storage with NVIDIA HGX B200 and HGX H200 systems, NetApp will be able to act as the underlying storage for NVIDIA Cloud Partners to power the largest AI-as-a-service providers.
NETAPP VERIFIED ARCHITECTURE
The NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ with NetApp AFX® 1K storage systems combines the world-class computing performance of NVIDIA DGX GB300 systems with NetApp cloud-connected storage systems to enable data-driven workflow for machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance technical computing (HPC).

SOLUTION VERIFICATION
This storage solution was validated in multiple stages by NetApp and NVIDIA to ensure that performance and scalability
meet the requirements for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. The configuration was validated using a combination of synthetic workloads
and real-world ML/DL workloads to verify both maximum performance and application interoperability.
DGX SuperPOD is based on the concept of a Scalable Unit (SU) that includes 32 DGX B200 systems and all of the other components necessary to deliver the required connectivity and eliminate any performance bottlenecks in the infrastructure.
For this solution the high-performance storage fabric is an Ethernet network based on the NVIDIA Spectrum SN5600 switch with 64 800Gb ports in a Spine/Leaf configuration.
The NVA program offers customers a verified architecture for NetApp solutions. An NVA means that the NetApp solution has the following qualities:
Deploy enterprise-ready AI infrastructure with NetApp's validated reference architectures and converged systems.
The NetApp™ AIPod with NVIDIA DGX™ systems and NetApp cloud-connected storage systems, simplifies infrastructure deployments for machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads by eliminating design complexity and guesswork.
