NetApp Empowers Customers to Securely “Talk to Their Data” in Collaboration with NVIDIA

New integration unlocks exabytes of data for
secure, private generative AI across the hybrid multicloud
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced it is collaborating with
NVIDIA to advance retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for
generative AI applications.
The new collaboration directly connects the just-announced
NVIDIA NeMo Retriever microservices—coming to the NVIDIA AI
Enterprise software platform for development and deployment of
production-grade AI applications, including generative AI—to
exabytes of data on NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure. Every
NetApp ONTAP® customer will now be able to seamlessly “talk to
their data” to access proprietary business insights without having
to compromise the security or privacy of their data.
Enterprises want to leverage publicly available large language
models to talk directly and securely to their corporate data with
assurance that their private data will never be accessible outside
the enterprise. Until now, enterprises that wanted to build
internal chatbots, co-pilots, and applications that leverage
corporate knowledge were faced with complexity and uncertainty
about how to get started without compromising data security or
privacy.
NetApp and NVIDIA have developed a simple solution with NVIDIA
NeMo Retriever microservices technology for RAG that can leverage
any data stored on NetApp ONTAP—on-premises and in the leading
public clouds.
NetApp customers can now query their data, whether spreadsheets,
documents, presentations, technical drawings, images, meeting
recordings, or even data from their ERP or CRM systems through
simple prompts — all while maintaining the access control they’ve
already established when storing the data.
“As the leader in unstructured data management, NetApp makes
data infrastructure intelligent to securely turbocharge AI
innovation. Together with NVIDIA, we have helped accelerate over
500 data-driven businesses to become AI-ready,” said George Kurian,
CEO at NetApp. “Through our joint work, NetApp’s installed base can
seamlessly and securely use NVIDIA’s tools with their unstructured
data. AI is defining a new data-driven era and NetApp and NVIDIA
are at the forefront of ensuring success for customers as they
adopt and deploy AI.”
“Retrieval-augmented generation pairs valuable data with the
power of AI to make copilots transformative productivity tools,”
said Jensen Huang, Founder and CEO at NVIDIA. “Together, NVIDIA and
NetApp can help enterprises build accurate, intelligent generative
AI applications that let companies talk to their data — and foster
a new wave of business opportunity.”
By combining NVIDIA’s NeMo Retriever microservices with NetApp
ONTAP’s footprint, tens of thousands of enterprises both
on-premises and in the world’s largest public clouds can access
their data wherever it resides. This reduces the friction, cost,
and time to value for RAG.
The new capability allowing customers to talk to their corporate
data specifically for enterprise RAG complements NetApp’s robust
portfolio of mature AI offerings, which have been leveraged by more
than 500 of its joint customers for AI model training and
inference, including solutions built on NVIDIA DGX BasePOD and that
have certification for NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, as well as the new
NVIDIA OVX systems storage validation program, designed
specifically for enterprise RAG.
NetApp’s “Talk to your Data” capabilities will be demonstrated
at NVIDIA GTC, a global AI conference taking place in San Jose,
California, running March 18-21. Visit NetApp booth #1616 in the AI
Center of Excellence to learn more.
