IBM Brings Nvidia's HGX B300 GPU Systems to Regulated Industries

IBM has partnered with Nvidia to make their HGX B300 GPU systems available on IBM Cloud. This move targets regulated industries that require powerful AI training hardware in a managed cloud environment.

The HGX B300 system packs eight Blackwell Ultra GPUs into a single node, providing up to 144 PFLOPS in FP4 precision and 72 PFLOPS in FP8. Each system also comes with more than 2 TB of shared HBM3e memory, crucial for large language model training.

The systems integrate with Red Hat OpenShift and IBM's watsonx platform, creating a complete stack for governed AI workflows. This allows enterprises to train and deploy models in a hybrid-cloud setup where sensitive data stays within approved boundaries.
