Presented by Microsoft and NVIDIA
As the world’s leading platform providers and champions of AI advancement globally, NVIDIA and Microsoft continue to deliver unparalleled value to organizations investing in and deploying AI. Collaborative efforts by companies Microsoft Ignite 2025 The conference provided tangible proof, introducing practitioners and decision-makers to new and expanded AI infrastructure and cloud solutions to accelerate business transformation and real-world impact with AI agents.
IT and business leaders from across industries gathered at Microsoft Ignite, November 18-21 in San Francisco. The theme of this year’s conference focused on accelerating AI success, with a strong focus on developing and scaling agentic and physical AI and digital twins. The presence of NVIDIA and Microsoft at the event highlighted the expansive nature of their collaboration, from silicon to services, as attendees got a first-hand look at the full-stack AI solutions now available and heard exciting announcements about new integrations and expanded partnership solutions.
NVIDIA Microsoft Ignite Sessions — available on demand
Microsoft Ignite learning sessions are tailored each year to provide timely technical and strategic insights to participants, regardless of their role. In-depth learning about the powerful integrations between Microsoft Azure and the NVIDIA platform was a significant part of this year’s catalog, with more than 40 sessions highlighting NVIDIA solutions and capabilities. Now, 15 of these sessions are available on demand for a limited time.
The available sessions cover many of the latest integrations available from NVIDIA and Microsoft Azure, some so new that they were announced at the event. For in-person session attendees and post-event viewers leveraging the on-demand catalog, NVIDIA and Microsoft presentations at Microsoft Ignite engage customers with the latest information on what they can get from Microsoft Azure, with NVIDIA integrations to power and elevate their AI journeys.
Integrations for next-generation AI
NVIDIA Blackwell powers Azure NCv6 to accelerate complex AI workloads
NVIDIA continues to evolve its Blackwell platform for the AI era as a new NVIDIA Blackwell platform expansion brings new Azure NCv6 series virtual machines with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs in public preview. This expansion enables the Blackwell platform to scale acceleration for converged AI and visual computing workloads spanning digital twins and NVIDIA Omniverse simulation, agentic AI, 3D rendering, LLM inference and retrieval augmented generation (RAG) on small and medium-sized models, and scientific visualization. Ultimately, this solution provides customers with a seamless upgrade path, enabling Blackwell performance that supports complex AI tasks with greater efficiency.
NVIDIA Omniverse libraries are also now available on Microsoft Azure. These solutions, combined with Azure Local for deployment, create unmatched flexibility and unification, from edge to cloud, for businesses looking to develop, deploy and manage innovative AI solutions to transform industrial workflows. NVIDIA Omniverse technology on Azure was heavily highlighted at Ignite — NVIDIA, Microsoft and Ansys came together for the session “Transform manufacturing with digital twins and real-time simulation”, available now on demand, explaining how Omniverse, along with other NVIDIA solutions on Azure, helps accelerate the understanding and optimization of manufacturing processes.
To learn more about the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture integration with Microsoft Azure and features specifically designed for a wide range of use cases, watch the on-demand session “Power next-generation AI workloads with NVIDIA Blackwell on Azure.” Learn about cost and energy efficiency benefits, NVIDIA’s innovative development tools, and case studies demonstrating the powerful synergy between NVIDIA and Microsoft Azure for customers. You can also watch Microsoft’s session »What’s new in Azure Local» to learn more about integrating with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 GPUs for edge computing.
Microsoft Agent 365 with NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit elevates agentic AI utility
As the importance of agentic AI in the workplace continues to grow, Microsoft and NVIDIA are enhancing the utility of agents in the workplace with the integration between NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit and Microsoft Agent 365.
This integration allows developers to create and deliver compliant, secure, and custom workplace agents in Microsoft 365 productivity apps, including Outlook, Teams, Word, and SharePoint, providing customers with tailored agents designed to meet the unique needs of their organization.
Microsoft Foundry has also made NVIDIA Nemotron models available as secure NVIDIA NIM microservices to power these new enterprise agents and other digital AI. NVIDIA Cosmos models are available to power physical AI. These models will allow developers to create enterprise-grade agents with features spanning multimodal intelligence and multilingual reasoning, mathematics, coding, and more.
To learn more about NVIDIA’s business strategy and the core technologies enabling the promise of agentic AI, view the NVIDIA Ignite presentation »From prompt to production: Scale agentic AI with NVIDIA and Azure.” Solutions covered include NVIDIA NIM microservices, NVIDIA NeMo Agent Toolkit, NVIDIA CUDA libraries, and the Nemotron family of models.
SQL Server Integrations Enable AI-Ready Enterprise Databases
NVIDIA and Microsoft integrations also provide a new solution for building scalable AI on enterprise data. SQL Server 2025 now connects to NVIDIA Nemotron RAG models deployed as NVIDIA NIM microservices. Through this integration, customers can streamline AI deployment, overcoming major hurdles in data volumes, data privacy and security, and avoiding bottlenecks associated with traditional CPU infrastructure.
With GPU-accelerated RAG workflows implemented on Azure Cloud or Azure Local, organizations can build secure, high-performance AI applications wherever their data resides, whether in the cloud or on-premises, while maintaining complete data sovereignty. This integration makes it easy to bring AI directly to data, without the complexity of managing data pipelines.
