Oracle Launches Zettascale AI Supercomputer with NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs

Oracle has unveiled the world’s first zettascale cloud computing clusters, powered by the NVIDIA Blackwell platform, marking a significant leap in AI technology. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) is now accepting orders for its groundbreaking AI supercomputer, equipped with up to 131,072 NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs and delivering a peak performance of 2.4 zettaFLOPS. This new OCI Supercluster offers more than three times the GPU count of the Frontier supercomputer and six times that of other hyperscalers.

OCI’s advanced infrastructure includes OCI Compute Bare Metal, ultra-low latency RoCEv2 with ConnectX-7 NICs, and ConnectX-8 SuperNICs, along with NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand-based networks and HPC storage options. Mahesh Thiagarajan, Executive Vice President of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, highlighted the breadth of OCI’s AI offerings, which support some of the most demanding AI workloads in the cloud while providing exceptional data and AI sovereignty.

NVIDIA’s Ian Buck emphasized the critical role of powerful computing clusters and AI software in advancing global AI efforts. The full-stack AI computing platform on Oracle’s distributed cloud aims to deliver unprecedented AI compute capabilities, accelerating research, development, and deployment worldwide.

Zoom, an AI-driven collaboration platform, is already utilizing OCI’s high-performance infrastructure to enhance its AI personal assistant, Zoom AI Companion. This tool, available at no additional cost, assists users in drafting emails, summarizing meetings, and generating ideas. OCI’s data and AI sovereignty features also support regional data requirements, including in Saudi Arabia.
