How Bridge by Armada Integrates NVIDIA Infra Controller (NICo)
Turning Bare Metal into Tenant-Ready AI Infrastructure
Introduction
Modern AI infrastructure demands more than raw GPU horsepower. Getting hundreds — or thousands — of GPUs from freshly racked-and-stacked to a fully operational, multi-tenant AI cluster requires a sophisticated orchestration layer that spans hardware discovery, network fabric programming, firmware validation, and tenant isolation. With newer generations of rack-scale AI supercomputer products such as NVL72, the provisioning, configuration, and management challenges have become extremely complex.
That is exactly what Bridge by Armada, by incorporating the open-source NVIDIA NICo project (NVIDIA Infra Controller, formerly Carbide), delivers.
