NVIDIA has announced the acquisition of Run:ai, an Israeli startup specializing in software development for optimizing applications and artificial intelligence workloads on GPUs.
The amount of the deal, according to sources, will be about $700 million, although the figure of $1 billion was previously mentioned. This is consistent with NVIDIA’s strategy to expand its presence in the artificial intelligence ecosystem.
The Run:ai solution, based on Kubernetes, helps enterprises to efficiently manage the computing infrastructure for artificial intelligence tasks both in the cloud and on-premises servers. A centralized interface ensures the distribution of GPU power between different workloads.
Top managers note that this approach allows for optimizing the use of GPU cluster resources, improves infrastructure management and increases flexibility.
Run:ai’s capabilities will be integrated into NVIDIA DGX and DGX Cloud products, maintaining the former customer service business model.
Founded in 2018, Run:ai has been working with NVIDIA for several years. Among its clients are such large companies as Sony, Adobe, BNY Mellon and others.
Before the acquisition, the startup managed to attract more than $105 million in investments.
