Exam NCP-AIN Topic 1 Question 22 Discussion

Actual exam question for NVIDIA's NCP-AIN exam
Question #: 22
Topic #: 1
A leading AI research center is upgrading its infrastructure to support large language model projects.
The team is debating whether to implement a dedicated storage fabric for their AI workloads.
Which of the following best explains why a dedicated storage fabric is crucial for this AI network architecture?
Pick the 2 correct responses below

Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer

Modern AI training (especially with LLMs) requires extremely high-speed, parallel access to large datasets. A dedicated storage fabricseparates data I/O traffic from the training compute path and avoids contention.
FromNVIDIA DGX Infrastructure Reference Architectures:
"Dedicated storage networks eliminate I/O bottlenecks by providing low-latency, high-bandwidth access to distributed storage for large-scale training jobs."
"Parallel access to datasets is key for performance, especially in multi-node, multi-GPU AI clusters." Security (B)is important, but not the core reason for a storage fabric.
Cost (D)is typicallyincreased, not reduced, with dedicated fabrics.
