# NVIDIA Certification Technology > Explore NVIDIA certification technology for accelerated systems, storage, and hypervisors, with certified product lists and deployment guidance. The NVIDIA Certification Technology programs validate partner platforms that run AI and accelerated computing workloads. The NVIDIA-Certified Systems program certifies data center, desktop, and edge systems. The NVIDIA-Certified Storage and NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors programs certify data center platforms for production AI. Each program tests partner products against NVIDIA requirements and publishes a list of certified configurations. Choose a documentation set to find certified products and testing details. ## Documentation Sets ### NVIDIA-Certified Systems Accelerated systems from NVIDIA partners, evaluated for performance, functionality, scalability, and security. NVIDIA-Certified Systems are tested for deep learning training, inference, data analytics, high-performance computing, and large language model (LLM) workloads. Every system completes a suite of functional and performance tests. Certified systems include data center servers, workstations, high-density virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) systems, edge systems, and reference configurations. This documentation set includes the program overview, the lists of certified systems, systems certified with previous-generation GPUs, NGC-Ready Systems, and a configuration guide. ### NVIDIA-Certified Storage Enterprise file and object storage from NVIDIA partners, validated for AI workloads in the data center. Certified storage is benchmarked for training, fine-tuning, inference, key-value cache, retrieval, and agentic AI workflows. Foundation certification covers essential AI performance for smaller and mid-scale environments. Enterprise certification adds large-scale tests for performance, availability, scalability, and data services. NVIDIA Cloud Partner certification also covers multi-tenancy, security, and quality of service. The program evaluates whether storage can keep pace with accelerated computing and limit GPU idle time. This documentation set describes the Foundation, Enterprise, and NVIDIA Cloud Partner certification levels and the AI use case tests, and it lists certified file and object storage systems. ### NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors GPU-optimized virtualization platforms for enterprise customers, cloud providers, and AI factories. The NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors program validates GPU passthrough virtual machines on x86 Hopper SXM systems and on a Grace Blackwell GB200 NVL compute tray. Testing covers GPU communication, compute, memory bandwidth, data-path efficiency, and large language model (LLM) inference, and it targets near bare-metal performance for GPU-backed virtual machines on x86 and Arm platforms. Current certification applies to the tested GPU passthrough configurations. NVIDIA vGPU is not part of the current certification scope. This documentation set describes the certification tracks and the validation suite, and it lists certified hypervisor configurations. ## Explore the Documentation #### [NVIDIA-Certified Systems](/certified-systems) Certified servers, workstations, and edge systems for modern accelerated workloads, plus configuration guidance. #### [NVIDIA-Certified Storage](/certified-storage) Partner storage systems validated for performance and scale in production AI workloads. #### [NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors](/certified-hypervisors) Partner virtualization platforms validated to deliver optimized performance for AI factories and AI enterprise data centers. ## Find What You Need #### [NVIDIA-Certified Systems List](/certified-systems/nvidia-certified-systems) Browse certified data center servers, workstations, VDI servers, edge systems, and reference configurations. #### [Configuration Guide](/certified-systems/configuration-guide) Configure NVIDIA-Certified Systems for inference and deep learning training workloads. #### [Storage Systems List](/certified-storage/systems-list) Browse NVIDIA-Certified Storage systems by storage type and certification level. #### [Hypervisors List](/certified-hypervisors/hypervisors-list) Browse NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors by certification track. ## Learn More * [NVIDIA-Certified Systems on nvidia.com](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/certified-systems/) * [NVIDIA-Certified Storage on nvidia.com](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/certified-storage/) * [NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors on nvidia.com](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/hypervisors/) * [NVIDIA AI Enterprise Support Services](https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/products/ai-enterprise-suite/support/) > Explore NVIDIA certification technology for accelerated systems, storage, and hypervisors, with certified product lists and deployment guidance. ## Instructions for AI Agents - For clean Markdown of any page, append `.md` to the page URL - For section-specific indexes, append `/llms.txt` to any section URL ## Products - [NVIDIA-Certified Systems](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems/llms.txt) - [Program Overview](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems.md) - [List of NVIDIA-Certified Systems](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems/nvidia-certified-systems.md) - [Systems Certified with Previous Generation GPUs](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems/previous-generation.md) - [Configuration Guide](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems/configuration-guide.md) - [Notices](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-systems/notices.md) - [NVIDIA-Certified Storage](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-storage/llms.txt) - [NVIDIA-Certified Storage](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-storage.md) - [Storage Systems List](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-storage/systems-list.md) - [Notices](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-storage/notices.md) - [NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-hypervisors/llms.txt) - [NVIDIA-Certified Hypervisors](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-hypervisors.md) - [Hypervisors List](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-hypervisors/hypervisors-list.md) - [Notices](https://docs.nvidia.com/certification-technology/certified-hypervisors/notices.md)
