Customers will be able to accelerate sovereign AI and deploy AI solutions anywhere in OCI’s distributed cloud
Oracle today announced that NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an end-to-end, cloud-native software platform that accelerates data science and streamlines the development and deployment of production-ready AI, will be available on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). To support sovereign AI, among other deployments, and provide customers with easy access to NVIDIA’s accelerated, secure, and scalable platform, NVIDIA AI Enterprise will be available anywhere in OCI’s distributed cloud, and customers will be able to purchase it with their existing Oracle Universal Credits.
Unlike other NVIDIA AI Enterprise offerings through a marketplace, OCI will make it available natively through the OCI Console, reducing the time it takes to deploy the service and provide direct billing and customer support. Customers can quickly and easily access 160+ AI tools for training and inference, including NVIDIA NIM™ microservices, a set of optimized, cloud-native inference microservices designed to simplify the deployment of generative AI models. This end-to-end set of training and inference capabilities on OCI will enable customers to combine them with OCI services for building applications and managing data across a range of distributed cloud deployment options.
“We want our customers to be able to develop and deploy their AI solutions on OCI in the quickest way possible,” said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “With NVIDIA AI Enterprise on OCI, customers will be able to benefit from the latest AI infrastructure and software innovations while having the flexibility to leverage the wide array of deployment options provided by our distributed cloud. This will help customers accelerate sovereign AI by enabling them to take advantage of industry-leading AI solutions that provide greater control over operations, location, and security.”
“NVIDIA AI Enterprise provides the building blocks for developers creating modern AI applications,” said Justin Boitano, vice president of Enterprise Software Products, NVIDIA. “Oracle’s integration of NVIDIA AI Enterprise on the OCI Console will deliver a seamless experience to speed the development and deployment of generative, agentic, and physical AI across local regions.”
By delivering NVIDIA AI Enterprise through the OCI Console, Oracle will enable NVIDIA AI Enterprise to be quickly and easily deployed across OCI’s public regions, Government Clouds, sovereign clouds, OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy, OCI Compute Cloud@Customer, and OCI Roving Edge Devices. The availability of NVIDIA AI Enterprise across OCI’s distributed cloud will help customers meet security, sovereignty, regulatory, and compliance requirements when developing, deploying, and operating their enterprise AI stack. NVIDIA AI Enterprise will be available as a deployment image for GPU instances and Kubernetes clusters using OCI Kubernetes Engine.
To further help customers accelerate their AI deployments, OCI AI Blueprints provide no-code deployment recipes that enable customers to quickly run AI workloads without having to make decisions about the software stack or manually provision the infrastructure. The blueprints help reduce GPU onboarding time for scaled deployments from weeks to minutes by offering clear hardware recommendations for NVIDIA GPUs, NIM microservices, and prepackaged observability tools.
Expansive AI and Cloud Options Help Customers Accelerate Sovereign AI
To address digital sovereignty requirements and accelerate the adoption of AI, many organizations are taking advantage of accelerated computing and AI from NVIDIA on OCI.
Nomura Research Institute (NRI), a leading global provider of consulting services and system solutions, uses Oracle Alloy to help its customers move to the cloud faster and more securely. With Oracle Alloy, NRI can provide customers in Japan with new customized services and help them access the latest AI and cloud technologies in a sovereign environment.
“We rely on Oracle Alloy in our Tokyo and Osaka datacenters to advance our multicloud strategy and help our customers drive innovation,” said Shigekazu Ohmoto, senior corporate managing director, NRI. “To provide our customers with high-performance infrastructure within a dedicated cloud environment, we’ve deployed NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and plan to deploy NVIDIA AI Enterprise. This will help support our customers’ enterprise AI use cases, including generative AI and large language model development, while adhering to stringent governance, security, and data sovereignty requirements.”
e& UAE, the flagship telecom arm of e&, serves more than 13 million customers and over 300,000 small and medium-sized businesses in the UAE. Deploying NVIDIA Hopper GPU clusters within its OCI Dedicated Region has helped e& UAE facilitate the localization and development of new generative AI services and applications for its customers.
“At e& UAE, we are committed to pioneering AI-driven innovation while ensuring data sovereignty, security, and operational control,” said Hazem Gebili, senior vice president, Enterprise Service Solutions, e& UAE. “The strategic collaboration with Oracle and NVIDIA enables us to accelerate our sovereign AI initiatives, empowering us to develop and deploy cutting-edge AI services tailored for government, enterprise, and smart city applications. By leveraging OCI Dedicated Region across our two UAE datacenters, we gain seamless access to over 150 on-premises cloud services, allowing us to modernize mission-critical operations and business support systems with AI-powered efficiencies. The integration of NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and NVIDIA AI Enterprise further strengthens our capabilities, enabling us to rapidly scale, innovate, and deliver next-generation generative AI solutions that redefine customer experiences and business transformation in the UAE.”
Zoom Communications, Inc., an AI-first work platform for human connection, is using OCI to support Zoom AI Companion in Saudi Arabia. OCI is helping Zoom keep customer data in-region and deliver AI-first solutions. To support compliance with Saudi Arabian regulations while maintaining top-tier performance, Zoom optimized its AI models to run on efficient OCI GPU shapes.
“Saudi Arabia is a key market for Zoom, and we continue to invest in Zoom Workplace and AI Companion to provide solutions that meet the unique needs of businesses here,” said Velchamy Sankarlingam, president of product and engineering, Zoom. “By optimizing AI Companion to operate efficiently with GPU shapes accelerated by NVIDIA in a local OCI region, we’re enabling Saudi companies to take full advantage of AI without facing constraints.”
