NVIDIA provides hardware and software solutions to businesses that need high-power computing for things like rendering, data analytics, AI training etc.

No, like licenses, A100 and H100 cards. H100 is 33k pre tax, each.

They sell them in pre built machines with 8x H100, 8Tbps bidirectional networking, 112 cores, 30TB of nvme storage and 2TB memory. That is 640gb VRAM per machine.

Oh, and they are linked together. They sell hundreds of these machines at a time.

Apparently you need specialized hardware(and software) to store large chunks of data which should be easily accessible.

Data center is a generic term for renting out the hardware needed to run services on the internet. Amazon’s AWS is the largest provider in the world with Microsoft and Google behind them. Competing against companies like those is obviously very hard.

NVIDIA, however, has a massive advantage when it comes to hosting software that requires a lot of GPUs. This includes graphics programs but also AI software.

I think the data center on this chart refers to the sales of GPU to big data centers like those you mentioned.

Or, in other words, the revenue from sales of their data-center cards like A100, V100, etc.

Yeah, you’re probably right in terms of breaking out the revenue. The software services likely roll up under OEM & Other because they’re so tiny at this point.

It's more like special server that is not only used to store stuff but also to do heavy-work jobs like AI, simulation (especially near real-life one) rendering animation etc.
