The Dell PowerScale with NVIDIA DGX BasePOD Architecture is built with Dell PowerScale All-Flash systems and NVIDIA DGX H100 and A100 systems. PowerScale F600 performance systems or the new PowerScale F710 systems make up the storage framework and provide the all-flash high performance storage component. Dell PowerSwitch S and Z series switches are used for storage backend and north-south front-end infrastructure. DGX H100 and DGX A100 8-way systems provide the compute and GPU power, along with Mellanox QM switches to provide the GPU to GPU HDR east-west infrastructure.
The storage fabric was designed with NVIDIA’s DGX BasePOD best practices. The DGX systems connected to the storage fabric using the four QSFP ports dedicated to storage IO. This allowed the four OSFP ports to serve the compute fabric for GPU-to-GPU communication.
