What it is

NVIDIA Base Command Manager provides Linux and web tools for deploying and administering compute environments. It supports OS image deployment, PXE bootstrapping, lifecycle management, hardware inventory, API access, and out-of-band management. The Free-to-use Base Command Manager plan costs nothing and allows 8 accelerators per server, node, or system, with no limit on the number of servers, nodes, or systems. A standalone-support option combines the manager license with NVIDIA Enterprise Support. NVIDIA AI Enterprise adds GPU Operator, Network Operator, vGPU, and AI and data-science software. NVIDIA Mission Control includes Run:ai, UFM, NetQ, and additional Mission Control capabilities. The product therefore offers a no-cost base tier alongside options that add support or broader NVIDIA management and software capabilities.
