NVIDIA adds Confidential Bare Metal to its Confidential Computing lineup
NVIDIA announced Confidential Bare Metal, a new deployment option within NVIDIA Confidential Computing that it says lets frontier model builders run sensitive workloads on dedicated third-party infrastructure while retaining control of their models and data. NVIDIA says the option adds platform security controls that protect data in transit, measure platform integrity and enforce hardware-level access restrictions, and it now sits alongside Confidential Containers and Confidential Virtual Machines. Support extends to Grace Blackwell NVL72, HGX Rubin NVL8 and DGX Rubin NVL8 systems and will integrate with NVIDIA DSX OS, while Cohere plans to add it to Cohere Model Vault and Google Cloud is extending support to A4X Max instances powered by GB300 NVL72 systems, according to the company.
NVIDIA says the option gives model builders more geographic, sovereign and operational choices for scaling training and inference on third-party cloud, neocloud and enterprise infrastructure.
NVIDIA builds tools to enable safe agents across the stack. The NVIDIA OpenShell Reference Architecture, announced today, is part of NVIDIA’s growing portfolio of technologies that enables organizations to safely deploy agents at scale. NVIDIA Confidential Computing is the infrastructure layer that protects the models and data those agents depend on while running.
Today, NVIDIA is expanding that layer with Confidential Bare Metal, a new deployment option with NVIDIA Confidential Computing that enables frontier model builders to run sensitive workloads on dedicated third-party infrastructure while retaining control of their models and data.
NVIDIA is introducing new platform security controls that protect data in transit, measure platform integrity and enforce hardware-level access restrictions. These new controls let frontier model builders use bare-metal instances to own and operate their bespoke software stack, including host and platform infrastructure software, when operating on NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure across third-party cloud, neocloud and enterprise infrastructure.
