Agentic AI enables businesses to solve complex problems with superhuman efficiency and accuracy, but only as long as agents and reasoning models have fast access to high-quality data,” said Rob Davis, Vice President of Storage Technology, NVIDIA.
NetApp has announced a strategic collaboration with NVIDIA to enhance AI infrastructure by integrating the NVIDIA AI Data Platform into its AIPod solution. This joint effort aims to accelerate enterprise adoption of agentic AI by building scalable, secure, and intelligent AI data pipelines for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and inferencing.
Powered by NetApp’s mature ONTAP data management capabilities and NVIDIA’s accelerated computing, the enhanced AIPod solution enables enterprises to unify their data infrastructure and eliminate silos that hinder AI innovation. According to NetApp’s Data Complexity report, 79% of tech and business leaders believe that unifying data estates is essential to achieving successful AI outcomes by 2025.
“AI inferencing is the key to unlocking business value in the intelligence era,” said Sandeep Singh, SVP and GM of Enterprise Storage at NetApp. “With NVIDIA, we’re delivering connected storage tailored to the unique needs of AI.”
As a certified NVIDIA storage partner, NetApp offers built-in intelligence and scalable multi-tenancy through the AIPod, empowering businesses to manage complex data environments effectively across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid deployments. This collaboration supports advanced AI agents capable of scanning, indexing, and retrieving large volumes of private and public data in real time—boosting the accuracy and efficiency of AI-driven decision-making.
Rob Davis, VP of Storage Technology at NVIDIA, added, “Agentic AI delivers superhuman accuracy when paired with high-quality, fast-access data. Our joint solution brings AI to enterprise data, unlocking new levels of productivity.”
Together, NetApp and NVIDIA are laying the foundation for high-performance AI factories that power real-world innovation.
