Investing.com -- Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) announced Monday the deployment of thousands of NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) Blackwell GPUs, marking a significant enhancement of its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). The first wave of liquid-cooled NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks has been set up and optimized in Oracle’s data centers, ready for customer use. These deployments are aimed at developing and running advanced reasoning models and AI agents on the NVIDIA DGX Cloud and OCI.

The state-of-the-art GB200 deployment by Oracle includes high-speed NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking. This setup is designed to enable scalable, low-latency performance and comes with a full stack of software and database integrations from NVIDIA and OCI. The integration is poised to offer customers enhanced capabilities for AI applications.

OCI is among the first to deploy NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 systems and is planning to build one of the world’s largest Blackwell clusters. With ambitions to scale OCI Superclusters beyond 100,000 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs, OCI aims to meet the growing demand for inference tokens and accelerated computing. This move comes as AI innovation accelerates, with several companies, including OpenAI, releasing new reasoning models in recent weeks.

The NVIDIA Grace Blackwell systems, including those now online at OCI, are transforming cloud data centers into AI factories. These factories are designed to produce intelligence at scale, leveraging the NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 platform. The platform combines NVIDIA Grace CPUs and Blackwell GPUs, offering high performance and energy efficiency for AI powered by advanced reasoning models.

OCI is offering flexible deployment options for the Blackwell GPUs, catering to a wide range of customers including public, government, and sovereign clouds, as well as customer-owned data centers through OCI Dedicated Region and OCI Alloy.

Several customers, including major technology companies, enterprise customers, government agencies and contractors, and regional cloud providers, are planning to deploy workloads immediately on the OCI GB200 systems. These deployments will support a variety of projects, from training reasoning models to accelerating chip design.

The GB200 NVL72 racks are now live and available for use from NVIDIA DGX Cloud and OCI, providing optimized platforms with software, services, and technical support for the development and deployment of AI workloads.
