# Deploying NIM

> Guide to deploying NIM on the Simplismart platform

We also support direct deployment of [NVIDIA NIM](https://developer.nvidia.com/nim?sortBy=developer_learning_library%2Fsort%2Ffeatured_in.nim%3Adesc%2Ctitle%3Aasc) models from our Model Marketplace with a simplified process

### NIM API Keys

* To add your NIM secrets, go to the **Integrations** tab in the main menu, navigate to the [**Secrets**](https://app.simplismart.ai/integrations/secrets) section, and select **Nvidia Secret Docker** from the secret type dropdown.

Once **NIM secrets** are added to your account, you can deploy models with just a few clicks and start using them within minutes.

#### 5. Configure Deployment Settings

On the deployments page, specify the following parameters:

* **Cluster**: Select the cluster where you want to deploy the model.
* **Node Group**: Choose the appropriate node group.
* **Cloud Secrets**: Select the NIM secret from the dropdown.
* **CPU Limits**: Set the CPU allocation for the model.
* **Memory Limits**: Set the memory allocation for the model.
* **Scaling Range**: Configure the auto-scaling parameters for the deployment.

#### 6. Complete Deployment

Click the **Add Deployment** button to initiate the deployment process.

#### 7. Deployment Completion

The model deployment process typically takes 10-15 minutes to complete. Once deployed, you can access the model through the provided endpoint.

### Using the Deployed Model

After successful deployment, you will be provided with an endpoint URL. Use this endpoint to make API calls to the deployed NIM model.
