    • DPU Acceleration: Leveraging NVIDIA BlueField 3 Data Processing Units (DPUs) to offload infrastructure tasks. DPUs handle data encryption, compression, checksums, erasure coding, and other storage/networking functions, freeing up the main server CPUs to focus purely on the AI computation, thereby improving performance and reducing TCO.
    • Integrated VectorDB for Private AI: Offering native integration with vector databases. This simplifies the deployment of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and other private AI applications, allowing enterprises to securely leverage their internal knowledge bases for inference tasks without exposing sensitive data externally.
  • Benefits:
    • Significantly faster AI model training times due to reduced I/O wait times.
