AIRI Pure Storage NVIDIA DGX BasePOD Reference Architecture and Configuration Guide

AIRI® is a certified NVIDIA DGX BasePOD reference architecture, representing the next evolution of the innovative and efficient, industry-first AI Ready Infrastructure (AIRI) from Pure Storage and NVIDIA. AIRI combines Pure Storage FlashBlade//S™ with the NVIDIA DGX BasePOD platform to provide the underlying infrastructure and software to accelerate deployment and execution of enterprise AI workloads.

This guide provides a prescriptive reference architecture for IT administrators to deploy a validated solution designed for inference, data exploration, and other computationally intensive algorithms that enable AI today. An AIRI system is built on the NVIDIA DGX BasePOD reference architecture and includes NVIDIA® DGX™ A100 or DGX H100 systems, Pure Storage® FlashBlade//S storage, NVIDIA networking, NVIDIA Base Command and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software. This guide is designed to support organizations looking to satisfy the needs of multiple workloads, from providing as-a-service access for small interactive jobs to supporting cluster-wide jobs that make full use of multi-GPU and multi-node resources.
