Oracle has announced the first zettascale cloud computing clusters accelerated by the NVIDIA Blackwell platform. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is now taking orders for the largest AI supercomputer in the cloud—available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs.
“We have one of the broadest AI infrastructure offerings and are supporting customers that are running some of the most demanding AI workloads in the cloud,” said Mahesh Thiagarajan, executive vice president, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. “With Oracle’s distributed cloud, customers have the flexibility to deploy cloud and AI services wherever they choose while preserving the highest levels of data and AI sovereignty.”
World’s first Zettascale computing cluster
OCI is now taking orders for the largest AI supercomputer in the cloud—available with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs—delivering an unprecedented 2.4 zettaFLOPS of peak performance. The maximum scale of OCI Supercluster offers more than three times as many GPUs as the Frontier supercomputer and more than six times that of other hyperscalers. OCI Supercluster includes OCI Compute Bare Metal, ultra-low latency RoCEv2 with ConnectX-7 NICs and ConnectX-8 SuperNICs or NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand-based networks, and a choice of HPC storage.
“As businesses, researchers and nations race to innovate using AI, access to powerful computing clusters and AI software is critical,” said Ian Buck, vice president of Hyperscale and High Performance Computing, NVIDIA. “NVIDIA’s full-stack AI computing platform on Oracle’s broadly distributed cloud will deliver AI compute capabilities at unprecedented scale to advance AI efforts globally and help organizations everywhere accelerate research, development and deployment.”
Customers such as WideLabs and Zoom are leveraging OCI’s high-performing AI infrastructure with powerful security and sovereignty controls.
Zoom uses OCI’s sovereignty capabilities for its generative AI assistant
Zoom, a leading AI-first collaboration platform, is using OCI to provide inference for Zoom AI Companion, the company’s AI personal assistant available at no additional cost. Zoom AI Companion helps users draft emails and chat messages, summarize meetings and chat threads, generate ideas during brainstorms with colleagues, and more.
OCI’s data and AI sovereignty capabilities will help Zoom keep customer data locally in region and support AI sovereignty requirements in Saudi Arabia, where OCI’s solution is being rolled out initially.
“Zoom AI Companion is revolutionizing the way organizations work, with cutting-edge generative AI capabilities available at no additional cost with customers’ paid accounts,” said Bo Yan, head of AI, Zoom. “By harnessing OCI’s AI inference capabilities, Zoom is able to deliver accurate results at low latency, empowering users to collaborate seamlessly, communicate effortlessly, and boost productivity, efficiency, and potential like never before.”
