List of NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors#
The following partner platforms are certified as part of the NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors program for the indicated certification track.
Certification Track: Arm Platforms#
Arm platform certification is currently scoped to the NVIDIA GB200 NVL systems. This track validates the performance of a single 4-GPU, 2-CPU passthrough virtual machine (VM) within a single GB200 NVL compute tray.
Unless otherwise noted, certifications are validated using NVIDIA software components supported for the certified platform at the time of testing. Refer to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Infrastructure Support Matrix for currently supported component versions.
| Partner | Certified Partner Platform and Version | Certification Scope | NVIDIA Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rafay | Rafay-powered VMaaS 3.1 | Rafay-powered VMaaS Release 3.1-XX | Grace Blackwell |
| Mirantis | Mirantis k0rdent AI Osprey | Mirantis k0rdent AI Osprey | Grace Blackwell |
| OpenNebula Systems | OpenNebula 7.2.1 | OpenNebula version 7.2.1 and all subsequent maintenance and minor releases within the 7.x series | Grace Blackwell |
Note
The Certification Scope column is partner-provided. It describes which versions of the partner’s certified virtualization platform the ISV partner considers covered by the listing. Versions represented in this column are considered within the scope of this listing based on the partner’s representation, but they are not specifically certified unless listed separately.
Refer to the partner’s compatibility and support guidance for release-specific details. Major releases or material platform changes that affect the certified configuration may require additional review or recertification.
Certification Track: x86 Platforms#
x86 Platform Certification is scoped to NVSwitch-based 8-GPU NVIDIA Hopper™ SXM systems. The x86 track includes two required phases:
Single-Node: Validates the performance of a single 8-GPU VM on one NVIDIA Hopper SXM node, using full GPU and NIC passthrough.
Multi-Node: Validates the performance of two 8-GPU VMs deployed across two identical NVIDIA Hopper SXM nodes, with each VM spanning one node.
Unless otherwise noted, certifications are validated using NVIDIA software components supported for the certified platform at the time of testing. Refer to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Infrastructure Support Matrix for currently supported component versions.
The Certification Scope note above also applies to this table.
