FAQ - NVIDIA AI Enterprise
- What is the difference between the open source software and NVIDIA AI Enterprise?
NVIDIA AI Enterprise is based on open source and is curated, optimised and supported by NVIDIA. It not only provides the benefits of open source software such as transparency and cutting-edge innovation, but also takes care of maintaining security and stability with ever-growing software dependencies. With enterprise support that provides service level agreements, NVIDIA AI Enterprise is a secure and reliable platform for organisations to accelerate their AI journey.
- How much does NVIDIA AI Enterprise cost?
The pricing and licence options can be found in the Pack, Pricing and Licensing Guide.
- How can I buy NVIDIA AI Enterprise?
You can purchase NVIDIA AI Enterprise through the NVIDIA Partner Network and Cloud Marketplaces. Contact NVIDIA if you have any questions about your purchase.
- How does NVIDIA AI Enterprise provide security and stability?
NVIDIA AI Enterprise offers several software branches to maintain security and stability for the desired software lifecycle, including:
- Production branches: 9-month useful life with monthly security patches and API stability. This is ideal for deploying AI in production when stability is required.
- Long-term support areas: 3-year lifecycle with quarterly security patches and API stability. This is ideal for highly regulated industries.
NVIDIA AI Enterprise customers also receive security recommendations and vulnerability exploitation information from NVIDIA, including Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange (VEX) and Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), vulnerability context and remediation guidance.
- What does the company support offer?
Each NVIDIA AI Enterprise licence includes Business Standard Support with service level agreements, live access to NVIDIA agents, 24/7 case tracking, software branches, updates and releases, knowledge base resources and much more. Optional support upgrades, including Business Critical Support and Technical Account Manager, are available. More info >
- What kind of software is included with NVIDIA AI Enterprise?
