- NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra-Powered DGX Systems Supercharge AI Reasoning for Real-Time AI Agent Responses
- Equinix First to Offer NVIDIA Instant AI Factory Service, With Preconfigured Space in Blackwell-Ready Facilities for DGX GB300 and DGX B300 Systems to Meet Global Demand for AI Infrastructure
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC—NVIDIA today announced the world’s most advanced enterprise AI infrastructure — NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD™ built with NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs — which provides enterprises across industries with AI factory supercomputing for state-of-the-art agentic AI reasoning.
Enterprises can use new NVIDIA DGX™ GB300 and NVIDIA DGX B300 systems, integrated with NVIDIA networking, to deliver out-of-the-box DGX SuperPOD AI supercomputers that offer FP4 precision and faster AI reasoning to supercharge token generation for AI applications.
AI factories provide purpose-built infrastructure for agentic, generative and physical AI workloads, which can require significant computing resources for AI pretraining, post-training and test-time scaling for applications running in production.
“AI is advancing at light speed, and companies are racing to build AI factories that can scale to meet the processing demands of reasoning AI and inference time scaling,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “The NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra DGX SuperPOD provides out-of-the-box AI supercomputing for the age of agentic and physical AI.”
DGX GB300 systems feature NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchips — which include 36 NVIDIA Grace™ CPUs and 72 NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs — and a rack-scale, liquid-cooled architecture designed for real-time agent responses on advanced reasoning models.
Air-cooled NVIDIA DGX B300 systems harness the NVIDIA B300 NVL16 architecture to help data centers everywhere meet the computational demands of generative and agentic AI applications.
To meet growing demand for advanced accelerated infrastructure, NVIDIA also unveiled NVIDIA Instant AI Factory, a managed service featuring the Blackwell Ultra-powered NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. Equinix will be first to offer the new DGX GB300 and DGX B300 systems in its preconfigured liquid- or air-cooled AI-ready data centers located in 45 markets around the world.
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD With DGX GB300 Powers Age of AI Reasoning
DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB300 systems can scale up to tens of thousands of NVIDIA Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchips — connected via NVIDIA NVLink™, NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum-X™ Ethernet networking — to supercharge training and inference for the most compute-intensive workloads.
DGX GB300 systems deliver up to 70x more AI performance than AI factories built with NVIDIA Hopper™ systems and 38TB of fast memory to offer unmatched performance at scale for multistep reasoning on agentic AI and reasoning applications.
The 72 Grace Blackwell Ultra GPUs in each DGX GB300 system are connected by fifth-generation NVLink technology to become one massive, shared memory space through the NVLink Switch system.
Each DGX GB300 system features 72 NVIDIA ConnectX®-8 SuperNICs, delivering accelerated networking speeds of up to 800Gb/s — double the performance of the previous generation. Eighteen NVIDIA BlueField®-3 DPUs pair with NVIDIA Quantum-X800 InfiniBand or NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet to accelerate performance, efficiency and security in massive-scale AI data centers.
DGX B300 Systems Accelerate AI for Every Data Center
The NVIDIA DGX B300 system is an AI infrastructure platform designed to bring energy-efficient generative AI and AI reasoning to every data center.
Accelerated by NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra GPUs, DGX B300 systems deliver 11x faster AI performance for inference and a 4x speedup for training compared with the Hopper generation.
Each system provides 2.3TB of HBM3e memory and includes advanced networking with eight NVIDIA ConnectX-8 SuperNICs and two BlueField-3 DPUs.
NVIDIA Software Accelerates AI Development and Deployment
To enable enterprises to automate the management and operations of their infrastructure, NVIDIA also announced NVIDIA Mission Control™ — AI data center operation and orchestration software for Blackwell-based DGX systems.
NVIDIA DGX systems support the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform for building and deploying enterprise-grade AI agents. This includes NVIDIA NIM™ microservices, such as the new NVIDIA Llama Nemotron open reasoning model family announced today, and NVIDIA AI Blueprints, frameworks, libraries and tools used to orchestrate and optimize performance of AI agents.
NVIDIA Instant AI Factory to Meet Infrastructure Demand
NVIDIA Instant AI Factory offers enterprises an Equinix managed service featuring the Blackwell Ultra-powered NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with NVIDIA Mission Control software.
With dedicated Equinix facilities around the globe, the service will provide businesses with fully provisioned, intelligence-generating AI factories optimized for state-of-the-art model training and real-time reasoning workloads — eliminating months of pre-deployment infrastructure planning.
Availability
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD with DGX GB300 or DGX B300 systems are expected to be available from partners later this year.
NVIDIA Instant AI Factory is planned to be available starting later this year.
