Red Hat collaborates with NVIDIA, Lenovo, Microsoft, AWS, Dell, AMD and Intel
Red Hat continues to build upon its long-standing collaborations with major IT players to help customers implement and extend AI innovation across hybrid cloud environments. Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI) and Red Hat OpenShift AI now offer a supported, optimised experience with a wide range of GPU-enabled hardware and software offerings from NVIDIA, Lenovo, Dell, Microsoft, AWS, Intel and others.
Artificial intelligence (AI) model training requires optimized hardware and powerful computation capabilities. AI platforms must also support a broad choice of accelerated compute architectures and GPUs. Customers can get more from RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift AI by extending it with other integrated services and products announced in the last eight months: RHEL AI on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR675 V3 servers
RHEL AI on Dell PowerEdge
RHEL AI support for AMD Instinct Accelerators
RHEL AI on Microsoft Azure
RHEL AI and Red Hat OpenShift AI on AWS
Red Hat OpenShift AI with Intel Gaudi AI and Intel Xeon and Core processors
Red Hat OpenShift with NVIDIA AI Enterprise
The Cloud is Hybrid. So is AI.
For 30 years, open source has been a driving force behind innovation. Red Hat has played a key role in this evolution, first with enterprise-grade Linux (RHEL) in the 2000s and later with Red Hat OpenShift for containers and Kubernetes. Today, Red Hat continues this journey with AI in the hybrid cloud.
AI models often need to run as close to an organization's data as possible to reduce latency and improve efficiency. This requires models to be supported wherever needed, from the datacenter to public clouds to the edge. AI platforms must be able to stretch across all of these footprints, seamlessly and without integration challenges. AI is the ultimate hybrid workload.

Additionally, customers can use the Azure Hybrid Benefit to reuse existing on-premise licenses for both Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Windows Licenses. Supporting Quotes: Chris Wright, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Red Hat 'As organizations continue to modernize and move away from legacy virtualization solutions, it is critical to choose a secure computing foundation for the future that can adapt to their current and evolving multi-infrastructure environments. Building upon our extensive history of collaboration and joint engineering efforts with Microsoft Azure, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization running on Azure Red Hat OpenShift delivers more consistent orchestration for VMs and containers alike, setting organizations on a clear path to modern application development and deployment.' Brendan Burns, corporate vice president, Azure Compute, Microsoft: 'As customers modernize and move their apps from traditional virtual-machine-based fabrics that are on-premises to modern Kubernetes platforms, some components still need to run on traditional virtual machines for a while. To address this, Microsoft and Red Hat are collaborating to bring open-source innovation from the KubeVirt project into Azure Red Hat OpenShift. What I'm most excited about is how this enables customers to add virtualization capabilities to Azure Red Hat OpenShift, which allows them to modernize at their own pace, and get the best return on investment as they transition to the cloud.'

NVIDIA Shares Jump about 6% after better-than-expected Quarterly Earnings

Taarek Refaat NVIDIA shares jumped about 6% after the company reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings, boosted by a 73% year-over-year increase in data center revenue. "NVIDIA's results on Wednesday are pivotal not just for NVIDIA, but for the broader market, as they can reignite investor optimism and shift attention away from political headlines to the power of artificial intelligence," said James Demert, chief investment officer at Main Street Research. Despite Wednesday's weak market performance, major US indices are on track to end the week—and month—with strong gains. The S&P 500 is up 2.2% since the start of the week, the Dow is up 1.3%, and the Nasdaq is up 3%. The tech sector is up more than 10% in May, driven by AI announcements from major companies like Alphabet. During May, the S&P 500 rose 6%, the Dow Jones rose 3.6%, and the Nasdaq jumped 11%. These gains come after President Trump on Sunday backed down from his threat to impose 50% tariffs on the EU on June 1, postponing the implementation until July 9. Although markets welcomed the news, criticism of the tariffs' impact on markets continues, according to a report published by CNBC. US stock indices posted significant gains on Thursday after a federal court ruled to invalidate the "reciprocal" tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump. Nvidia's strong quarterly results also pushed technology stocks higher, boosting market performance. The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.5%, returning to positive territory for the year to date. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 46 points, or 0.1%. This rise came after the U.S. Court of International Trade ruled Wednesday evening that President Trump exceeded his authority by imposing tariffs under the name "reciprocal duties," and ordered the reversal of those decisions. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks

OpenAI and Nvidia among companies building Stargate AI infrastructure in UAE

CNN — OpenAI and Nvidia will join other companies to build Stargate UAE, an artificial intelligence infrastructure cluster, in a sister project to the recently unveiled push to expand AI infrastructure in the United States. Appearing alongside President Donald Trump in January, the CEOs of OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle said they would create a new company, called Stargate, to build out AI infrastructure in the US. The companies said they plan to invest up to $500 billion into the project in the coming years. On Thursday, those three companies, as well as Nvidia, Cisco and local champion G42, announced in a statement their partnership to build Stargate UAE in Abu Dhabi. The project's first part, a 200-megawatt AI 'cluster,' is expected to go live in 2026, they said. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said in the statement that the project in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates is 'a step toward ensuring some of this era's most important breakthroughs – safer medicines, personalized learning and modernized energy – can emerge from more places and benefit the world.' In a separate statement on its website, OpenAI said Stargate UAE has the potential to provide AI infrastructure and computing capacity within a 2,000-mile radius, reaching up to half the world's population. The project, agreed in close coordination with the US government, is the first international deployment of Stargate⁠, OpenAI's AI infrastructure platform, the company also noted. For his part, Jensen Huang, chief executive of Nvidia, said the project in the UAE would 'power the country's bold vision – to empower its people, grow its economy and shape its future.' G42 will build the facility, with OpenAI and Oracle operating it, while Nvidia will provide some of the most advanced chips available. Stargate UAE will run in the recently announced data center complex in Abu Dhabi, which will have 5 gigawatts of capacity – enough to power a major city. The complex will be built by the US and the UAE, Trump announced last week during his visit to the country, and will eventually span 10 square miles.
