About this Document
This document describes the design requirements and implementation of an AI cluster network to connect NVIDIA GPUs and WEKA Storage systems, based on AI-optimized Juniper Data Center Juniper QFX series switches and PTX Series Routers, which are configured and managed by Juniper Apstra and Terraform automation.
All validation tests were conducted in Juniper’s AI Innovation Lab in Sunnyvale, CA, USA. In this open lab, Juniper collaborates closely with customers and technology partners to develop AI solutions and test deployments for a range of AI applications and models.
The AI Innovation Lab allows customers to see AI training and inference in action, running on an NVIDIA GPU and WEKA Storage cluster. Juniper performs these tests running both customer-specific models as well as those from MLCommons for MLPerf performance benchmarking and comparisons.
