Adding NetApp Trident CSI integration for Enterprise RAG

 

OPEA Enterprise RAG now includes NetApp Trident CSI deployment automation. This integration implemented for the Intel Enterprise RAG supports NetApp AIPod Mini deployment with NetApp ONTAP storage. Built on the strong foundation of OPEA, Intel® AI for Enterprise RAG converts enterprise data into actionable insights with key features that enhance scalability, security, and user experience. This integration adds support for NetApp ONTAP storage as a CSI driver option in the Enterprise RAG deployment. With this integration, customers and partners will now be able to use the Enterprise RAG repo as a “one stop shop” for the deployment of NetApp AIPod Mini software stack. 

 

A RAG-ready enterprise system in two commands

 

Customers can deploy the prerequisite data pipeline and a RAG-ready enterprise system in two commands:

  • Run playbook to deploy Kubernetes and NetApp Trident​. 
  • Run playbook to deploy Intel AI for Enterprise RAG
