Storage Vendors Integrate Nvidia GPUs And Software
At GTC 2026, Hitachi Vantara, IBM, Nutanix and Seagate announced tighter integrations with Nvidia Blackwell GPUs and related software, plus new agentic and hybrid storage capabilities. Highlights include Hitachi iQ support for Blackwell GPUs and Nemotron models, IBM reducing query runtimes from 15 to 3 minutes on watsonx.data, Nutanix Agentic AI launch, and Seagate demonstrating a 720 TB NVMe cache with a 2.4 PB HDD tier. These moves accelerate GPU-native enterprise AI infrastructure adoption.
Key Points
- 1Announce support for Nvidia Blackwell GPUs, MGX systems, STX architecture, and Nemotron model integrations.
- 2Enable GPU-native AI stacks and agentic workflows across enterprise storage, improving performance and model access.
- 3Provide practitioners MCP connectivity, Nemotron compatibility, and hybrid NVMe-oF KV cache architectures for deployments.
Scoring Rationale
Strong industry-wide vendor integrations at GTC drive enterprise AI deployment, limited novelty beyond ecosystem alignment.
