Mirantis has announced two new collaborations with NVIDIA designed to accelerate secure, compliant AI adoption for government and enterprise customers. The company revealed its participation in the NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design and new integration with NVIDIA BlueField Data Processing Units (DPUs) at NVIDIA GTC in Washington, D.C.

The NVIDIA AI Factory for Government aims to help federal, state, and local agencies deploy mission-critical AI workloads in highly regulated environments. Through its k0rdent AI platform, Mirantis provides a FIPS- and STIG-compliant infrastructure foundation that supports scalable, secure AI deployments. The partnership enables agencies to deploy AI models and inference workloads while maintaining compliance with federal IT and data privacy standards.

“By integrating Mirantis k0rdent AI with NVIDIA technology, platform architects and MLOps engineers gain access to scalable AI infrastructure management that ensures security and compliance at scale,” said Kevin Kamel, vice president of product management at Mirantis.

The NVIDIA AI Factory for Government reference design combines NVIDIA’s AI infrastructure with qualified solutions like Mirantis k0rdent AI to support hybrid and on-premises AI factory deployments. The system supports diverse workloads, including generative AI and high-performance computing, with the assurance and control needed for sensitive operations.

In parallel, Mirantis announced integration with NVIDIA BlueField DPUs to deliver next-generation, Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure. This integration enables organizations to achieve secure, multi-tenant networking and real-time orchestration for AI workloads. “AI workloads demand precision through specialized hardware, tightly integrated networking, secure multi-tenancy, and real-time provisioning, all orchestrated efficiently and at scale,” said Shaun O’Meara, chief technology officer at Mirantis.

By combining the declarative power of Mirantis k0rdent AI with BlueField’s high-performance data processing, Mirantis offers improved network isolation, GPU sharing, and high-speed data access—key requirements for modern AI applications. The company is also preparing support for NVIDIA BlueField-4, which delivers six times more compute power and double the network throughput of its predecessor.

Mirantis continues to strengthen its position in delivering cloud-native, AI-ready infrastructure from “Metal-to-Model,” serving major enterprises such as Adobe, Ericsson, MetLife, and PayPal.
