Oracle Continues AI Momentum with NVIDIA AI Enterprise and DGX Cloud Availability in the Oracle Cloud Marketplace

PR Newswire | October 20, 2023

Oracle today announced that NVIDIA AI Enterprise, an enterprise-grade software that accelerates data science and streamlines development and deployment of production-ready AI, and the NVIDIA DGX Cloud AI supercomputing platform are now available through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace. These offerings provide customers with easy access to NVIDIA's accelerated, secure, and scalable platform for end-to-end AI development and deployment on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Qualified customers can purchase NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA DGX Cloud with their existing Oracle Universal Credits. In March, OCI became the first hyperscale cloud provider to offer NVIDIA DGX Cloud. Now, with the addition of NVIDIA AI Enterprise and availability in the Marketplace, customers can quickly and easily perform any kind of large-model training for generative AI applications on OCI – including for workloads optimized by NVIDIA NeMo, an end-to-end, cloud-native framework to build, customize, and deploy generative AI. After customizing and training their models, customers will be able to use the same software containers and tools to deploy inferencing with NVIDIA AI Enterprise on any OCI Compute instance using the NVIDIA Triton Inference Server. Customers will now have access to an end-to-end set of training and inference capabilities on OCI, alongside OCI services for building applications and managing data across a range of distributed cloud deployment options. Many organizations are taking advantage of accelerated computing and AI from NVIDIA on OCI. For example, Gemelo.ai runs NVIDIA Maxine GPU-accelerated AI software development kits and cloud-native microservices on OCI AI Infrastructure to drive its next-generation text-to-speech, voice-to-voice, and voice cloning systems. This has enabled Gemelo.ai to deploy "AI twins" that act as trained interactive service agents for its customers. Gemelo.ai is pioneering new AI-based business models that showcase the combined power of OCI and NVIDIA's software, said Karan Batta, senior vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. We have worked closely with NVIDIA for years to provide organizations with an accelerated compute infrastructure to run NVIDIA software and GPUs. The addition of NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA DGX Cloud to OCI further strengthens this collaboration and will help more organizations bring AI-fueled services to their customers faster. "We are excited to put the dual resources of OCI and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise suite to use in building our next-generation AI-driven applications and ever more useful digital twins," said Paul Jaski, CEO, Gemelo.ai. "Enterprises looking to fast-track their generative AI initiatives are seeking platforms where they can train and deploy their applications in a secure environment," said Charlie Boyle, vice president of DGX systems, NVIDIA. "The addition of NVIDIA DGX Cloud paired with NVIDIA AI software, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise, into Oracle Cloud Marketplace enables OCI customers to use their existing cloud credits to accelerate the development of generative AI applications." NVIDIA AI Enterprise and NVIDIA DGX Cloud can be accessed via private offers through the Oracle Cloud Marketplace.

IBM Redesigns Cloud-Native SIEM to Level-up Security

IBM | November 08, 2023

The cloud-native SIEM enhances scalability, speed, and flexibility while leveraging AI for improved alert prioritization and response. Cloud-native QRadar SIEM is built on an open foundation, supporting interoperability with multi-vendor tools and cloud platforms. IBM plans to introduce generative AI capabilities in early 2024. IBM introduced a significant transformation to its flagship IBM QRadar SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) product. The new QRadar SIEM is redesigned on a cloud-native architecture tailored for hybrid cloud environments, with a strong focus on scale, speed, and flexibility. This update aims to empower security teams by enabling AI and security analysts to work together efficiently. In fact, SOC professionals get to less than half (49%) of the alerts that they're supposed to review within a typical workday, according to a recent global survey. [Source- Cision PR Newswire] The cloud-native QRadar SIEM builds upon the strong foundation of its predecessor, offering efficient data ingestion, rapid search capabilities, and analytics at scale. It is based on an open foundation and is part of the QRadar Suite, IBM's integrated threat detection and response software portfolio. As hybrid cloud environments expand and evolve rapidly, the security challenges become increasingly complex. The growing attack surface makes it difficult for security professionals to identify true threats amid the noise, leading to delayed threat responses. The new cloud-native QRadar SIEM addresses these challenges by leveraging AI to manage repetitive tasks and streamline the detection and response process for high-priority security incidents. Built on Red Hat OpenShift, QRadar SIEM is designed to be open at its core, allowing for deep interoperability with multi-vendor tools and cloud platforms. It supports common detection rules (SIGMA) to quickly integrate crowdsourced threat detections from the security community. Additionally, it offers federated search and threat-hunting capabilities across various data sources, enhancing threat investigation across cloud and on-premises environments. IBM's cloud-native SIEM includes AI capabilities that automatically prioritize alerts, reduce noise, and provide context for high-priority alerts. It streamlines threat investigations by running federated searches, creating visual attack timelines, and suggesting recommended actions. It plans to introduce generative AI (GAI) capabilities for QRadar Suite in early 2024. These AI capabilities will automate tasks like report creation, threat detection, log data interpretation, and threat intelligence curation. GAI is expected to enhance the productivity of security analysts, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks. The investment in cloud-native SIEM and AI integration reflects its commitment to delivering next-generation security operations technology. These advancements are designed to simplify security operations, reduce complexity, and provide security teams with the tools to effectively address today's complex threat landscape. The new cloud-native QRadar SIEM will be available as SaaS in Q4 2023. IBM is actively working on its AI and data platform, watsonx, to enable generative AI to support security teams in automating routine tasks, accelerating threat response, and simplifying threat investigations. This represents a significant step toward more efficient and effective security operations.
