How To Source AI Infrastructure Components
Search Enterprise AI, Friday, October 13,2023
Rent, buy or repurpose AI infrastructure? The right choice depends on an organization's planned AI projects, budget, data privacy needs and technical personnel resources.
AI requires infrastructure -- and not just any infrastructure. Training and running AI models often relies on special infrastructure resources, such as servers equipped with GPUs, which enable parallel computation for AI workloads that require massive compute resources.
Unfortunately, AI-friendly infrastructure isn't always easy to source. Due to ongoing GPU shortages, acquiring the right hardware can be challenging, not to mention expensive. And although it's possible to use cloud-based infrastructure for AI workloads, that approach comes with its own set of challenges.
