The integrations cover GPU virtualization, network offload, and automated bare-metal provisioning.
OpenNebula Systems has expanded its integration with NVIDIA technologies, enabling organizations to deploy secure, production-ready AI Factories at scale.
OpenNebula Systems is the developer of OpenNebula, an open and vendor-neutral cloud management and virtualization platform for private, hybrid, and edge infrastructures. OpenNebula is increasingly adopted as a VMware replacement platform.
OpenNebula and NVIDIA
By combining OpenNebula’s cloud management and virtualization platform with NVIDIA accelerated computing, networking, and bare-metal lifecycle management solutions, enterprises, HPC centers, and neocloud providers can deliver high-performance AI infrastructure with full tenant isolation and automated lifecycle control.
Warren Barkely, VP of DGX Cloud, NVIDIA, comments:
“AI factories require tight integration across compute, networking, and infrastructure automation. OpenNebula’s work with NVIDIA technologies, including NCX Infra Controller, helps organizations build scalable, multi-tenant AI environments with greater automation and operational control”
OpenNebula supports NVIDIA GB200 NVL4 GPUs via PCI passthrough, providing virtual machines with direct hardware access and preserving native performance. Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) support enables hardware-level partitioning, allowing multiple tenants to share accelerators securely while maintaining predictable resource allocation.
NVIDIA BlueField DPUs are fully managed within OpenNebula’s control plane, offloading network and security tasks from host CPUs. Per-tenant traffic enforcement, containerized network functions, and programmable switching policies reduce CPU load, strengthen isolation, and improve throughput across AI, Telco, and edge environments.
Integration with NVIDIA NCX Infra Controller automates provisioning, OS deployment, and environment configuration for GPU servers, creating isolated AI Factory instances on demand. This unified workflow combines lifecycle automation with strong governance.
Dr. Ignacio M. Llorente, Managing Director at OpenNebula Systems, explains:
“Our focus is to provide a unified control plane for AI infrastructure that preserves hardware performance while introducing strong governance and lifecycle automation. Through deep integration with NVIDIA technologies, we enable organizations to deploy AI Factories that meet enterprise, HPC, and sovereign requirements with predictable performance and operational control.”
