New QCT VMware Cloud Foundation Microsoft Azure HCI and Enterprise AI Solutions
Summary
Just to give some sense, it can take 340+ hours of testing time and months to certify a single SKU. We found pictures of the D54X-1U and one can see a very cloud-like ease of service and symmetric layout with PSUs and expansion slots on opposite sides of the chassis. QCT’s position as a long-term NVIDIA partner is helping it get supply to meet the hardware requirements of these AI solutions whereas some of the traditional large enterprise OEMs that shunned NVIDIA are having an even more difficult time getting GPU supply. That handful of vendors is not the legacy enterprise OEMs who are 2-5 years behind in their AI server designs at this point. QCT’s focus now is to expand its portfolio to not just service cloud providers, but also enterprises that use VMware and Microsoft.
