NVIDIA AX800 Delivers Cloud-native and High-performance Accelerated 5G

• Open RAN adoption is struggling due to the lack of cloud economics and high performance on existing technology.
• The NVIDIA AX800 is a converged accelerator that offers cloud-native and high-performance 5G solutions on commodity hardware, supporting multi-tenancy and AI capabilities.
• By dynamically scaling the workloads, the AX800 enables the deployment of 5G and AI on general-purpose computing hardware, reducing the CAPEX and OPEX for telcos.
• The AX800 delivers 36 Gbps throughput on a 2U server, substantially improving the performance of existing Open RAN solutions.

Solutions to Support Cloud-native RAN

• To drive broad adoption of cloud-native RAN, the industry needs solutions that are cloud-native, high-performing, and built with AI capability.
• A cloud-native network requires a complete rethink in approach, delivered on general-purpose hardware, and able to support multi-tenancy.
• Fixed-function or single-use accelerators cannot provide the benefits of cloud economics.
• A general-purpose COTS server built with NVIDIA converged accelerators can support high-performance 5G and AI workloads on the same platform, offering better utilization and reduced TCO and future-proofing for the 6G era.

Run 5G and AI Workloads on the Same Accelerator with NVIDIA AX800

• The AX800 supports multi-use and multi-tenancy of both 5G and AI workloads on commodity hardware, that can run on any cloud, by dynamically scaling the workloads.
• By moving RAN compute into the cloud, it brings all the benefits of cloud computing, pooling and higher utilization of shared cloud infrastructure, resulting in the largest CAPEX and OPEX reduction for telcos.
• The opportunity for dynamic scaling using NVIDIA AX800 provides marginal utility to telcos and CSPs who are already investing in NVIDIA systems and solutions to power their AI services.
• The AX800 delivers a significant performance improvement over the typical peak throughput of existing Open RAN solutions, achieving 36 Gbps throughput on a 2U server when running NVIDIA Aerial 5G vRAN.
