Red Hat Empowers Agentic AI with Support for NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory

Red Hat, the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced its integration with the newly announced NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, helping to power a new wave of agentic AI innovation. This work showcases how Red Hat AI, including Red Hat OpenShift AI, provides a critical pathway and proving ground for dynamic AI disruption, such as teams of digital AI agents.

As enterprises move beyond initial AI experimentation to practical deployments, they require flexible, consistent and performant software foundations capable of working across diverse AI models, architectures and environments. Red Hat AI provides this foundation, bolstered by collaborations with industry leaders like NVIDIA, to help navigate the complexities of bringing intelligent workloads from experimentation to production at scale.

Red Hat will enable NVIDIA Blackwell architectures across Red Hat AI and the hybrid cloud. A fully verified and performance-tested reference architecture for NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory has been developed using Red Hat OpenShift AI, further demonstrating the power and scale that Red Hat AI brings to the forthcoming demand for AI agents at scale. Red Hat OpenShift AI provides a consistent platform on which organizations can more effectively and reliably deploy and manage AI agents at scale, using vLLM-based inference capabilities and enhanced observability and monitoring functionality.

Using Red Hat OpenShift AI, with NVIDIA NIM microservices accessible through the application catalog, the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory reference architecture enables organizations to more easily build a fully validated AI software stack and operate on-premises AI factories with servers built with NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA Blackwell B200 systems.

Red Hat’s approach to enterprise AI is built on the power of open source, the flexibility of the open hybrid cloud and a strong partner ecosystem. By collaborating with a wide array of leaders across the AI stack, from hardware providers to service integrators, Red Hat enables customers to build comprehensive AI solutions that meet business-specific needs. This ecosystem approach, showcased by collaborations and support for innovations like NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, extends the value of Red Hat AI and its ability to meet customers where they are, both on the hybrid cloud and in their AI journey.
