Regarding use cases, mainly if you want to do anything on AI workloads, you have an option to choose because NVIDIA has the full stack. They have the software, they have their GPUs, and all of those components. Based on the solution, suppose some customers might be asking for some kind of computer vision models they want to adopt in order to have a quality of inspections and all of those in their factory or in their healthcare. For one of the customers where we worked, we wanted to implement a computer vision model where they want to identify some kind of artifacts in the health reports. It means in terms of identifying the quality and inspecting the particular lab X-rays and whatever is health-related. At that time, we need to work from the infrastructure level to the model and also have a software; the full stack has to be there. For that kind of use case, NVIDIA AI Enterprise is ideal when it compares to other AMD or Dell, because AMD may not provide a complete solution the way NVIDIA AI Enterprise is providing for the enterprise. In those cases, it is very ideal.

What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Regarding the integration with AI framework on your project development, the impact of NVIDIA AI Enterprise is easily consumable. The license has an enterprise license and all of those components. It is easy to adopt. How it impacts is very helpful in terms of choosing the options.
I do see that it helps to minimize downtime for AI applications because it has a lot of valuable features. I do see a benefit from it. Mainly at the time of doing any kind of opportunity where precision computing and all those things will come, the Tensor Cores bring a certain kind of value. It is mainly helping me to speed up the training of the AI models. That is where in most of the AI factories, the Tensor Cores make a difference when you have mixed-precision computing. Mostly the HPC is part of the HPC. They recently launched the Blackwell fifth-generation Tensor Cores.
In terms of the price of the license, I would say NVIDIA AI Enterprise is expensive.
What needs improvement?
Regarding the negative side, it is still very new to me since it has only been one and a half years. I am still maximizing my knowledge with respect to NVIDIA AI Enterprise. But maybe in terms of negative aspects, once I get more interaction with customers who have already adopted it, I will be able to tell. As of now, I do not know much.
Maybe NVIDIA AI Enterprise can be still developed in this area. Maybe the collaterals and all those things with respect to NVIDIA AI Enterprise are not that detailed in order to understand the granularity of the product or the solution or the framework. Cisco has better collaterals that are publicly available. That is one thing which is not that great.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working one and a half years with this exact product, and in the industry as a solution architect, I can remind you it is a total of twelve years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
In terms of stability of NVIDIA AI Enterprise, the solution is generally stable. I see no glitches or latency issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Regarding scalability or limitations, until I again build up more rapport with the customers, then I will be able to answer this. I find that NVIDIA AI Enterprise is a new product, and I am not able to explain on the scalability the way I can explain on Cisco.
How are customer service and support?
I think I did not deal with the TAC and all of this, but the way the solution team provides design-level queries and answers questions about sizing is valuable. If you have any challenges in terms of sizing and you reach out to them, that kind of proactive support is always there. That means I can say that it is good. Based on my observations and experience with support, I can give it eight points from zero to ten, where ten is the best.
How was the initial setup?
As for the installation part, to be honest, I have not installed NVIDIA AI Enterprise right now. We had done only an eight-GPU deployment in our CoE. Eight built servers with eight GPUs were deployed for our lab setup. For the customers, I think there is another team who generally takes care of that.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
There is no such competition for NVIDIA AI Enterprise, as they are addressing the complete AI-related space. Even if AMD has GPUs, Dell has that, and all of this, NVIDIA AI Enterprise is leading because they are addressing each and every component in the AI infrastructure.
What other advice do I have?
In terms of measuring the effectiveness of the project, I mostly work only in terms of the sizing of the infra piece for AI workloads. What exactly, what type of AI workloads the customer is having? And whether the primary workload is training-heavy or inferencing, what AI models they have? And in terms of performance, we just mainly ask in terms of what is the target for that token latencies. When you talk about AI, it is all about tokens. What are the expected average and peak tokens? That is the kind of sizing I understand.
Regarding whether my clients have NVIDIA AI Enterprise on cloud or on-premise, I can say it is a mix. It is mixed because it depends on the usage of your AI workload. If it is frequent, where people are trying to access, upload, and download, then definitely on-prem will be ideal, where they will go with NVIDIA AI Enterprise. And if it is not that much, then they will go with NVIDIA AI Enterprise from AWS or any cloud where you are able to spin the GPUs of NVIDIA in the cloud. I am not much into AWS on the cloud part.
My overall rating for NVIDIA AI Enterprise is eight out of ten.
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Power of scalable AI
Cannot get started, Cannot get support
I followed in video steps of how to get started in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL8AsG0R0Bg , i took the token from the server script and submioted it in the Nvidia NGC portal, I asked to activate the subscription as instructed but it is pending for a week now, Nvidia support says that I cannot get support without having a Nvidia Enterprise support token and I can't get the token because the activation didn't work, and because the activation didn't work I can not work with any of the Nvidia enterprise models
