Ways to Get Started With NVIDIA AI Enterprise

Members of the NVIDIA Developer Program have access to self-hosting NVIDIA NIM for research, application development, and experimentation on up to 16 GPUs on any infrastructure—cloud, data center, or personal workstation. Access to NIM microservices is available throughout the duration of program membership. For more information, see this FAQ.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise consists of open-source software that’s curated, optimized, and supported by NVIDIA, as well as exclusive software that isn’t open source, such as NVIDIA NIM, NVIDIA Base Command Manager Essentials, and NVIDIA vGPU. It provides the benefits of transparency and top-of-tree innovation, as well as security and stability for ever-growing software dependencies. With enterprise support that provides service-level agreements, NVIDIA AI Enterprise is an enterprise-grade, secure, and reliable platform to accelerate your AI journey.

You can purchase NVIDIA AI Enterprise through the NVIDIA Partner Network and the cloud marketplaces of AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Oracle Cloud. Contact NVIDIA with your purchasing questions.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise offers different software branches to maintain security and stability for desired software lifecycles, including:

• Feature branches: Every AI and data science package is updated monthly with the latest features and security fixes. It’s meant for developers who want to deploy into production with the newest capabilities and are willing to update their applications if APIs change.
• Production branches: A nine-month lifecycle with monthly security patches and API stability. This is ideal for deploying AI in production when API stability is required.
• Long-term support branches: A three-year lifecycle with quarterly security patches and API stability. This is ideal for highly regulated industries.

NVIDIA AI Enterprise customers also receive security advisories and exploitability information from NVIDIA, including Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX), software bill of materials (SBOM), vulnerability context, and remediation guidance.
