Powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, the applied AI cloud will
provide Infosys employees simple and fast access to AI
infrastructure
BENGALURU, India, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Infosys (NYSE:
INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and
consulting, today announced the launch of an Infosys Cobalt
offering - its applied AI cloud, built on NVIDIA
DGXTM A100 systems, the universal system for all AI
workloads, offering unprecedented compute density, performance, and
flexibility. The powerful new Infosys applied AI cloud will be an
AI center of excellence for the company, enabling developers and
project teams at Infosys to quickly and easily access AI hardware
and software stacks, across both private and public clouds, to
build contextualized services that deliver AI-first business
processes for enterprises. NVIDIA DGX A100 systems will provide the
infrastructure and the advanced compute power needed for over 100
project teams to run machine learning and deep learning operations,
simultaneously. NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology will
enable Infosys to improve infrastructure efficiency and maximize
utilization of each DGX A100 system. Teams can process AI
algorithms centrally or locally on any device, without lag, using
Infosys edge AI.
As a service delivery partner in the NVIDIA Partner Network,
Infosys will also be able to build NVIDIA DGX A100-powered,
on-prem AI clouds for enterprises, providing access to cognitive
services, licensed and open source AI software-as-a-service (SaaS),
pre-built AI platforms, solutions, models and edge capabilities.
Infosys will enable businesses to harness their own data estates,
open source data and curated data exchanges on the cloud to build
and train their AI models. Enterprises can leverage this advantage,
along with services delivered by any hyperscale cloud provider to
scale and future-proof their AI-powered transformation.
"For a long time now, AI has been playing a key role in shaping
consumer experience. Cloud, data analytics and AI are now
converging to bring the opportunity for enterprises to not just
drive consumer experience but reimagine processes and capabilities
too," said Balakrishna D.R., Senior VP, Head - AI &
Automation Services, Infosys. "Infosys applied AI cloud,
powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, can help enterprises to quickly
build on the opportunity, while scaling with new technological
advancements."
"Many organizations are eager to infuse their business with AI
but lack the strategic platform on which they can pool expertise
and scale the computing resources needed to build mission-critical
AI applications," said Charlie
Boyle, Vice President and General Manager of DGX Systems at
NVIDIA. "Working with Infosys, we're helping organizations
everywhere build their own AI centers of excellence, powered by
NVIDIA DGX A100 and NVIDIA DGX POD infrastructure to speed the ROI
of AI investments."
