Overview

The On-Prem AI Infrastructure Platform is vendor-neutral. NVIDIA GPUs, Intel Gaudi HPUs, and AMD GPUs run side by side on the same platform. Each vendor gets its own compute flavor, Kubernetes cluster template, and accelerator operator, so every workload runs on the accelerator that fits it best.
Accelerators are presented through PCI passthrough at the compute layer, and a vendor-specific operator runs on each Kubernetes node group.

Vendor Model


Architecture


Vendors

NVIDIA GPUs are available as dedicated passthrough devices or as shared vGPUs. In Kubernetes, the NVIDIA GPU Operator manages drivers and runtime, MIG partitioning, time-slicing, and DCGM monitoring.

Benefits

No vendor lock-in

Add accelerators from any supported vendor without changing how workloads are deployed.

Right accelerator per workload

Match training, inference, and development workloads to the accelerator that suits them.

Clean separation

Separate flavors and templates keep each vendor’s drivers and operators isolated to its own node groups.

One operating model

Every vendor is managed through the same console, flavors, and cluster templates.

Next Steps

GPU and HPU Performance Optimization

Tuning and telemetry for each vendor’s accelerators.

Unified Console

Manage every vendor’s workloads from one portal.
