Unlike a traditional AI demonstration or innovation lab, the AI Factory Munich operates within a live data center environment (NTT Global Data Centers\u2019 Munich 2 Data Center), allowing clients to evaluate AI workloads against the infrastructure, security, data, governance and operational requirements they will face in production.<\/p>\n<p>AI deployments typically stall between pilots that prove an idea and enterprise-scale production that delivers value. To bridge this gap, the AI Factory Munich leverages NTT&nbsp;DATA\u2019s capabilities from consulting, infrastructure and AI platforms to managed services, data centers and its global partner ecosystem. Among active partners, NVIDIA provides an accelerated computing platform, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/technologies\/blackwell-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NVIDIA Blackwell <\/a>GPUs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/networking\/spectrumx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet<\/a> networking and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/products\/ai-enterprise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NVIDIA AI Enterprise<\/a> software. Dell Technologies provides the full-stack AI foundation including AI-optimized servers and storage and services through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dell.com\/en-us\/shop\/campaign\/lp\/nvidia-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIDC\u2019s research shows that as organizations move AI from pilots into production, the questions are shifting from access to compute towards ownership, control and operational maturity. Enterprises and public sector bodies increasingly want AI capability they can run within their own governance and jurisdictional boundaries, and the hardest problems are now integration, lifecycle management and running these platforms at scale rather than the technology itself. Facilities where organizations can see a complete, production-grade stack operating and validate it against their own use cases shorten the path from intent to measurable outcomes\u201d said <strong>Chris Barnard, Vice President, Networking and Infrastructure Services, IDC.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At the opening ceremony, client CxOs and other participants witnessed orchestration, sovereignty and data-residency controls in action, alongside demonstrations of clients\u2019 specific use cases in banking, manufacturing and healthcare. Clients will be able to test their own use cases with the NTT DATA team in real-world conditions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery leader I speak to wants AI they own, control and trust. At NTT DATA\u2019s AI Factory Munich, they can run their own applications and data in a production data center, on their terms, before they commit to deployment. It\u2018s the difference between a slide and a decision,\u201d said <strong>Graham Clarke, Managing Director, Global Private &amp; Sovereign AI, NTT&nbsp;DATA, Inc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cSovereign, production-grade AI infrastructure is the foundation enterprises need to move from AI ambition to results while aligning to local regulatory frameworks. The NTT&nbsp;DATA AI Factory Munich combines the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA including Dell infrastructure and services with NVIDIA accelerated computing and NTT DATA\u2019s enterprise AI, data center and services expertise. This gives organizations a scalable, production-grade environment to test their own workloads, evaluate performance, governance and data-residency requirements to build a confident path to deploying AI at scale,\u201d said <strong>Adrian McDonald, President, Dell Technologies EMEA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoving enterprise AI from pilots to production requires a full-stack AI factory designed for the performance and scalability demands of AI. By bringing together NVIDIA accelerated computing, NVIDIA networking and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software with NTT DATA\u2019s enterprise AI and data center expertise, the AI Factory Munich gives organizations a real-world environment to validate AI workloads, measure performance and build a clear path to production,\u201d said <strong>David Hogan, Vice President, Enterprise EMEA, NVIDIA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AI Factory Munich is part of NTT DATA\u2019s global network of client resources for exploring, developing and deploying advanced technologies.<\/p>\n<p>The AI Factory Munich is open to enterprise and public sector organizations by appointment.
