Inspur Information is combining AIStation, its unified
management and scheduling AI computing resource platform, with
NVIDIA AI
Enterprise, a cloud-native suite of AI and data analytics software,
to provide enterprise users with a convenient and efficient platform for
utilizing AI computing resources. This includes professional development,
advanced deployment tools, and state-of-the-art components. The combined
platform allows enterprises to quickly implement the industry's most advanced
AI capabilities and rapidly deploy AI applications to drive intelligent
business innovation.
There
have been multiple attempts to build AI resource stacks for improving AI
innovation and implementation. However, implementing AI technologies is a very
challenging task. Enterprises not only need to meet requirements for computing
power, but also maximize their computing resource utilization, quickly build and
manage AI deployment environments, and efficiently introduce AI capabilities.
It requires an AI platform that supports agile development and necessitates
easy management and deployment to quickly implement AI applications and
accelerate their performance.
Inspur
Information's AIStation is an end-to-end platform that provides one-stop
support for AI development and deployment. With powerful resource scheduling
and management capabilities, it accelerates the development and deployment of
AI technologies. NVIDIA AI Enterprise is an optimized end-to-end, cloud-native
AI and data analytics software suite. It supports the processes from
environment construction, data processing, training, and inference to allow for
faster development and implementation of AI technologies.
AIStation's
superior scheduling, management and monitoring capabilities are able to fully
unleash NVIDIA AI Enterprise's excellent AI development and deployment
capabilities. The combined solution expertly handles data storage, computing
power and task scheduling, cluster operation and maintenance, and provides
enterprises with an agile and easy-to-use AI platform that can fully utilize
their AI computing resources. It also enhances the development and deployment
of AI-related tools and components. Resulting AI development and deployment is
markedly sped up, making AI transformation more efficient, and improving the
business value of AI. Detailed benefits of the combined Inspur Information and
NVIDIA AI Enterprise solution include:
Maximizing computing resources The
solution makes it easier for enterprise customers to use and manage hardware
infrastructure including NVIDIA GPUs, and supports Multi-Instance GPU features
in the NVIDIA Ampere architecture, enabling users to centrally allocate and
monitor computing resources and efficiently allocate those computing resources
in large-scale computing power clusters.
Acquiring AI capabilities quickly The cloud-native environment management mechanism based
on Docker containers gives users an effort-free experience for building
cloud-native development environments. Thanks to the powerful scheduling and
management capabilities of Inspur Information's AIStation and the professional
frameworks, models, applications and development tools of NVIDIA AI Enterprise,
users can build AI environments and run AI tasks with ease to achieve fast
delivery and quickly introduce advanced AI capabilities.
Managing AI infrastructure with easeThe multi-tenant management policy allows cluster
administrators to focus on managing hardware infrastructure and controlling
user quotas. Users can manage AI services and perform AI production within
quota limits, and developers can quickly obtain AI compute resources without
needing to be audited by administrators often. In addition, administrators can
monitor key services and performance of the platform in real-time, and improve
system availability by leveraging the fault-tolerant mechanisms and
high-availability architecture.
Today,
AI technologies are changing various industries such as finance,
transportation, medical care, education, and scientific research. By
introducing AI technologies and applications, enterprises can boost their
business capabilities and create greater value. Inspur Information is working
closely with NVIDIA to promote the construction of intelligent computing
infrastructure and develop AI capability stacks to further accelerate
enterprises' AI strategies and AI transformation.
Inspur Information and NVIDIA have a longstanding
collaboration, with Inspur AI servers supporting the full lineup of NVIDIA
GPUs, including the NVIDIA A100, A30, A10, and A2. Inspur
AI servers were among the first in the industry to fully support NVIDIA Ampere
architecture-based GPUs and the company has obtained NVIDIA-Certified System status for its AI servers.
