NetApp AIPod with Lenovo for the next-generation AI and agentic AI

Today marks an exciting evolution in enterprise AI infrastructure. NetApp, Lenovo, and NVIDIA are proud to introduce the latest enhancements to NetApp^® AIPod^™ with Lenovo. These enhancements advance our full-stack, future-ready solution to better support organizations as they scale and operationalize AI across a broader range of use cases. From high-performance training and fine-tuning to real-time inferencing and cutting-edge agentic AI applications, AIPod helps simplify and accelerate AI deployment without compromising on security or scalability.

AIPod with Lenovo is a turnkey AI infrastructure solution that brings together best-in-class components from NetApp, Lenovo, and NVIDIA into a unified system, including: 

• NVIDIA GPUs and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite for compute acceleration and workload orchestration. 

• Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 for high-performance server compute. 

• NetApp ONTAP^® storage technology for secure, high-throughput data management. 

• Red Hat OpenShift integration for scalable, hybrid, containerized AI operations. 

Whether you’re deploying a single-node pilot or scaling across global data centers, AIPod adapts to your needs quickly, securely, and cost-effectively. 

Organizations like yours are under increasing pressure to adopt AI fast. But the challenges are real: complex infrastructure, rising costs, regulatory risks, and the growing talent gap in AI operations. 

AIPod with Lenovo removes those barriers. It delivers: 

• Speed, with pre-integrated agent blueprints and certified builds that enable rapid time to value. 

• Security, with end-to-end data encryption, Zero Trust architecture, and secure federated reasoning models. 

• Simplicity, with management through familiar IT tools—no specialized AI expertise required. 

• Scalability, with its design for AI growth, from inferencing to full high-performance computing (HPC) training clusters. 

The next wave of AI innovation is agentic AI, autonomous systems that perceive, plan, and act. AIPod is one of the first infrastructure solutions that’s engineered for agentic AI, with built-in support for NVIDIA NIM agent blueprints.

VM Analyzer offers a comprehensive solution that eliminates the guesswork by consolidating data across the full stack—logs, metrics, configurations, and topology—into a unified view. This approach enables IT teams to quickly trace issues to their source, recognize correlations across shared infrastructure components, resolve incidents, and shift from reactive to proactive operations.

AI doesn’t live in a silo. The seamless integration of AIPod into hybrid cloud environments with native support for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud maintains consistency across training, inferencing, and backup workflows. Preloaded with Red Hat OpenShift and featuring integrated independent software vendors like Domino Data Lab and NVIDIA Run:ai, AIPod is your AI solution-in-a-box, ready to support end-to-end MLOps pipelines from day one.

AIPod with Lenovo supports a full spectrum of AI workloads, including: 

• Inferencing. Real-time applications like virtual assistants, computer vision, and generative AI (GenAI). 
• Fine-tuning. Tailoring of large models to industry-specific needs, like clinical diagnostics and financial modeling. 
• Training. From light models to core training in HPC environments. 
• Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). Optimized reference architecture for search-augmented chat and knowledge AI. 
• Agentic AI. Secure infrastructure for autonomous AI agents and decision engines. 
• Industry use cases. Deployment across healthcare, finance, manufacturing, and government sectors, from fraud detection to predictive maintenance. 

AIPod with Lenovo isn't just an infrastructure solution. It's the AI foundation that your enterprise needs, and it’s simple to deploy, secure by design, and scalable for the future. Whether you're pioneering autonomous agents or scaling GenAI workloads across continents, AIPod with Lenovo is your launchpad.
