NVIDIA is driving a major transformation in enterprise AI infrastructure with its AI Data Platform, a reference design now being adopted by leading storage manufacturers to build systems that support AI reasoning agents. This innovation enables enterprises to rapidly deploy storage solutions that can efficiently index, classify, and retrieve vast repositories of documents in real time—providing AI agents with the data foundation needed to solve complex problems through reasoning and planning.
The big picture: NVIDIA has partnered with major storage system providers and hardware manufacturers to build AI-optimized infrastructure that supports the next generation of reasoning-capable AI applications.
- Storage leaders including DDN, Dell Technologies, HPE, IBM, NetApp, Pure Storage and others are introducing new solutions built on the NVIDIA AI Data Platform.
- Hardware manufacturers like AIC, ASUS, Foxconn, and Supermicro are developing specialized storage and server platforms based on NVIDIA’s reference design.
Key details: The NVIDIA AI Data Platform combines the company’s accelerated computing, networking capabilities, and software into a customizable reference architecture for sophisticated AI infrastructure.
- New hardware platforms feature NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking.
- These systems are optimized to run NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, creating an integrated stack for advanced AI workloads.
Why this matters: The new infrastructure enables enterprises to scan, index, and retrieve information from both private and public document repositories in real time, providing AI agents with the data needed for complex reasoning tasks.
- This capability allows AI systems to move beyond simple query responses to more sophisticated problem-solving that requires multi-step reasoning.
- Organizations across industries can now rapidly deploy purpose-built systems that turn their document stores into actionable intelligence resources for AI applications.
What’s next: NVIDIA will showcase these technologies at the upcoming NVIDIA GTC Taipei event, taking place May 21-22 at COMPUTEX.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
