Red Hat has announced its integration with the new NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, aiming to boost agentic AI innovation. Red Hat AI, including Red Hat OpenShift AI, provides a pathway for AI disruption, such as the use of digital AI agent teams. As enterprises advance from AI experimentation to practical deployments, they require software foundations that are flexible, consistent, and capable of working across diverse AI models, architectures, and environments. Red Hat AI offers this foundation, supported by collaborations with industry leaders like NVIDIA, to help manage the complexities of scaling intelligent workloads from experimentation to production.

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, demonstrating the power and scale that Red Hat AI brings to the demand for AI agents at scale. Red Hat OpenShift AI provides a platform for organizations to 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 allows organizations to build a validated AI software stack and operate on-premises AI factories with NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers and NVIDIA Blackwell B200 systems.

Red Hat’s enterprise AI approach is based on open source, the open hybrid cloud, and a partner ecosystem. By collaborating with leaders across the AI stack, from hardware providers to service integrators, Red Hat enables customers to build comprehensive AI solutions that meet business needs. This ecosystem approach, demonstrated by 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.

Chris Wright, chief technology officer and senior vice president, global engineering, Red Hat, stated that AI agents represent the future of enterprise AI, where independent models can speed through tasks to free organizations for innovation. He added that Red Hat OpenShift AI is an ideal platform to run these workloads delivered by NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated designs, offering the scale, flexibility, and power to deliver generative AI across the hybrid cloud.

Justin Boitano, vice president, Enterprise AI, NVIDIA, mentioned that NVIDIA and Red Hat are pioneering the future of enterprise AI by integrating Red Hat OpenShift AI with the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory validated design, creating a full-stack platform that IT can use to transform business data into actionable agentic AI intelligence.
