Overview

Azure engineering scenarios

  • Get supercomputing performance for your most complex generative AI models with ND H100 v5 VMs, now in preview. These VMs deliver reliability at massive scale and offer significant improvements over previous generations with on-demand sizes ranging from eight to thousands of NVIDIA H100 GPUs interconnected by NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking.
  • AI is one of the most inspiring areas of technology evolution. Performance requirements for AI, however, are significantly different from other enterprise applications. AI requires infrastructure built specifically for compute-intensive, large-scale AI workloads. Learn how Microsoft and NVIDIA's AI-first approach can accelerate AI innovation, simplify operations, and increase performance.
  • Azure’s leading cloud AI supercomputing infrastructure and end-to-end machine learning capabilities give you the performance, scalability, and built-in security needed to build, train, and deploy some of the most demanding AI workloads with confidence. From training complex AI models to deep learning, and inference, Azure delivers solutions backed by Microsoft’s Responsible AI principles, and consistency for data scientists with a familiar toolchain.
