NVIDIA's flagship RTX PRO Blackwell GPU is now available in a 2U server-based configuration across major server providers, giving customers a wider range of computing options. NVIDIA Expands RTX PRO Server Offerings With a Newer Configuration, Bringing More Flexibility [Press Release]: NVIDIA today announced that the NVIDIA RTX PRO™ 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU is coming to the world’s most popular enterprise servers, speeding the shift from traditional CPU systems to accelerated computing platforms. With these new 2U mainstream servers, enterprises worldwide can harness the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture in the most widely adopted rack-mounted systems for breakthrough performance and efficiency in their data centers. Global system partners including Cisco, Dell Technologies, HPE, Lenovo and Supermicro will offer the 2U NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers — available in multiple configurations — to bring universal acceleration for enterprise workloads spanning agentic AI, content creation, data analytics, graphics, scientific simulation, as well as industrial and physical AI. NVIDIA RTX PRO Server Family Brings Accelerated Systems to Data Centers Every year, enterprises buy millions of servers for business workloads. They can now refresh these systems with accelerated servers, as AI becomes increasingly critical to operations. RTX PRO Servers bring GPU acceleration to traditional CPU-based workloads like data analytics, simulation, video processing and graphics rendering — delivering up to 45x better performance, which results in 18x higher energy efficiency with lower cost of ownership compared with CPU-only 2U systems. NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers represent a new class of on-premises infrastructure that brings groundbreaking Blackwell performance to enterprise customers building AI factories with space-, power- and cooling-constrained data centers. These systems also provide the infrastructure backbone for the NVIDIA AI Data Platform, a customizable reference design for building modern storage systems for enterprise agentic AI. At SIGGRAPH, Dell is announcing updates to the Dell AI Data Platform — integrated with the NVIDIA AI Data Platform reference design — along with Dell PowerEdge R7725 2U servers featuring two RTX PRO 6000 GPUs, NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and NVIDIA networking. The new 2U mainstream systems join a family of RTX PRO Servers announced in May at COMPUTEX, providing a full spectrum of rack-mounted designs capable of supporting two, four or eight NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs. The servers are ideal for enterprises looking to optimize performance, efficiency and costs.
