JFrog Ltd. (“JFrog”) (Nasdaq: FROG), the Liquid Software company and creators of the JFrog Software Supply Chain Platform, now expanded to include a unified MLOps platform through the acquisition of Qwak AI, today announced a new product integration with NVIDIA NIM microservices, part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform. The integration of the JFrog Platform with the JFrog Artifactory model registry and NVIDIA NIM is expected to combine GPU-optimised, pre-approved AI models with centralised DevSecOps processes in an end-to-end software supply chain workflow. This allows organisations to bring secure machine learning (ML) models and large language models (LLMs) to production at lightning speed, with increased transparency, traceability, and trust. 

“As organisations rapidly adopt AI technology, it’s essential to implement practices that ensure their efficiency and safety, and that incorporate AI responsibly,” said Gal Marder, EVP Strategy, JFrog. “By integrating DevOps, security, and MLOps processes into an end-to-end software supply chain workflow with NVIDIA NIM microservices, customers will be able to efficiently bring secure models to production while maintaining high levels of visibility, traceability, and control throughout the pipeline.” 

With the rise and accelerated demand for AI in software applications, data scientists and ML engineers face significant challenges when scaling ML model deployments in enterprise environments. Fragmented asset management, security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and performance bottlenecks are compounded by the complexities of integrating AI workflows with existing software development processes and the requirement for flexible, secure deployment options across various environments. This compounded complexity can result in very long, expensive deployment cycles and, in many cases, failure of AI initiatives. 

“As enterprises scale their generative AI deployments, a central repository can help them rapidly select and deploy models that are approved for development,” said Pat Lee, Vice President, Enterprise Strategic Partnerships, NVIDIA. “The integration of NVIDIA NIM microservices into the JFrog Platform can help developers quickly get fully compliant, performance-optimised models quickly running in production.”

JFrog Artifactory provides a single solution for housing and managing all the artefacts, binaries, packages, files, containers, and components for use throughout software supply chains. The JFrog Platform’s integration with NVIDIA NIM is expected to incorporate containerised AI models as software packages into existing software development workflows. By coupling NVIDIA NGC – a hub for GPU-optimised deep learning, ML and HPC models – with the JFrog platform and JFrog Artifactory model registry, organisations will be able to maintain a single source of truth for all software packages and AI models, while leveraging enterprise DevSecOps best practices to gain visibility, governance, and control across their software supply chain. 

The integration between the JFrog Platform and NVIDIA NIM is anticipated to deliver multiple benefits, including:

• Unified Management: Centralised access control and management of NIM microservice containers alongside all other assets, including proprietary artefacts and open-source software dependencies, in JFrog Artifactory as the model registry to enable seamless integration with existing DevSecOps workflows. 
• Comprehensive Security and Integrity: Continuous scanning at every stage of development – including containers and dependencies – delivering contextual insights across NIM microservices with JFrog auditing and usage statistics that drive compliance. 
• Exceptional Model Performance and Scalability: Optimised AI application performance using NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure, offering low latency and high throughput for scalable deployment of LLMs to large-scale production environments. 
• Flexible Deployment: Flexible deployment options via JFrog Artifactory, including self-hosted, multi-cloud, and air-gap deployment options.
