\"\"<\/p>\n

TD Synnex has reserved over 1,000 high-end Nvidia GPUs in the cloud to help solution providers overcome supply constraints and get their customers moving on AI projects.<\/p>\n

The U.S. distribution giant, which won Nvidia\u2019s Distribution Partner of the Year award for the Americas last month<\/a>, made the cloud commitment for AI computing clusters based on Nvidia\u2019s B300 GPU with neocloud provider Nebius. TD Synnex announced the deal on Tuesday at its High-Growth Conference in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

The Fremont, Calif.-based company is accepting purchase orders for B300-based instances through Nebius now, with availability expected to begin in July. The agreement lasts for a year, and it gives TD Synnex the option for renewal.<\/p>\n

Nvidia Americas channel chief Craig Weinstein told CRN last month that the company sees the partnership as an important way to reach enterprise customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means that we have an [Nvidia Cloud Partner] that\u2019s going to offer cloud capability to the ecosystem to ensure [that] enterprises can iterate and solution providers have a platform to leverage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

TD Synnex-Nebius Deal Seen As Way To Combat Supply Scarcity<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with CRN, TD Synnex officials Francisco Criado and Jack Donato said that the Nebius partnership will help channel partners gain access to what has become a scarce resource due to high demand from AI-native companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s literally no capacity available right now,\u201d said Criado, senior vice president of cloud, security and AI at TD Synnex.<\/p>\n

TD Synnex expects the Nebius deal to benefit many of its strategic partners who otherwise \u201cwouldn\u2019t get the prioritization that they would need to gain access to the GPUs,\u201d according to Donato, senior director AI and neocloud vendor solutions at TD Synnex.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur ability to give them that prioritization up there with the general hyperscalers and neocloud providers just gives them access, in general,\u201d he said. \u201cCould they get the same capacity direct? Maybe, but there\u2019s no availability.\u201d<\/p>\n

TD Synnex: Deal Represents First Of Its Kind In Disty World<\/p>\n

According to TD Synnex, the Nebius engagement \u201cmarks the first time a global IT distributor has reserved a dedicated Nvidia AI factory-grade cluster from an AI-native cloud provider.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not your typical distribution go-to-market where you\u2019re buying and reselling something,\u201d Criado said. \u201cWe\u2019re actually committing and we\u2019ve purchased this reserved instance within the Nebius data center … and we will now work with our partners and their customers to [drive consumption].\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on Nvidia\u2019s Blackwell Ultra architecture, the B300 debuted last year<\/a> as the company\u2019s flagship GPU for x86-based servers that connect eight of the accelerator chips through the vendor\u2019s NVLink interconnect.<\/p>\n

TD Synnex said Nebius\u2019 B300 instances are meant for a wide range of AI use cases, ranging from training to inference and fine-tuning.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re basically getting the compute and the GPUs, and you put whatever foundations, blueprints, frameworks, applications, [software] stacks on top of it\u2014whatever the preference is to that partner and customer,\u201d Criado said.<\/p>\n

Criado: The Initial Batch Of Instances Could Sell Quickly<\/p>\n

Criado said that TD Synnex\u2019s deal with Nebius has generated so much interest among channel partners that he thinks the initial batch of instances \u201cwill probably be purchased pretty quickly,\u201d which has the company already thinking about future expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re committing to this very early for July, and as soon as this capacity is sold, we\u2019re going to be looking at [bringing more capacity through] the next data center buildout,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TD Synnex officials Francisco Criado and Jack Donato tell CRN that the Nebius partnership will help channel partners…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535310,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[554,18144,733,4308,31550,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-535309","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-ai-infrastructure","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-artificialintelligence","12":"tag-gpus","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535309","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535309"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535309\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535310"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535309"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535309"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535309"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
