NVIDIA (NVDA) & Microsoft Tie on Industrial Metaverse & AI

NVIDIA Corporation NVDA recently collaborated with one of the largest broad-based technology providers in the world, Microsoft MSFT, to enable powerful industrial metaverse and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled supercomputing resources for enterprise users.

Under the collaboration, Microsoft’s Azure will host two of NVIDIA’s new releases, DGX Cloud for AI supercomputing and Omniverse Cloud for building and operating 3D industrial metaverse applications. Moreover, the companies will connect the Omniverse Platform with Microsoft’s 365 Applications as a part of this agreement.

With this collaboration, Microsoft enterprise users will be able to reduce their time taken in decision-making, planning actions and giving feedback. The integration will accelerate their operational digitalization process and industrial metaverse engagement as well. The connection of NVIDIA Omniverse Cloud with Azure Cloud Services Digital Twins and the Internet of Things will enable enterprise users to link real-time data from sensors in the physical world to their digital replicas. This will help the users create more dynamic 3D digital twins that automatically respond to physical environmental changes.

The NVDA DGX Cloud will be available in the second quarter of fiscal 2023 while its Omniverse Cloud will be available in the second half of the year for running on MSFT Azure.

It gives enterprises instant access to a full-stack environment to design, develop, deploy and manage industrial metaverse applications. The platform is powered by NVIDIA OVX computing systems.

In February, NVIDIA and Microsoft signed a partnership for 10 years to bring Xbox PC games to the NVIDIA GeForce NOW cloud gaming service, which has more than 25 million members in over 100 countries.
