This need for flexibility is making cloud, particularly hybrid cloud, the foundation of AI, especially as the need for substantial amounts of data ratchet up. Using hybrid cloud, companies can meet the technology demands of AI at the right cost level for their businesses and their workloads. Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offers organizations the ability to use, develop and implement AI without sacrificing performance. However, there are a number of infrastructure elements that organizations need to bear in mind when evaluating potential IaaS providers.
An AI Infrastructure is the technology that enables machine learning. It signifies the combination of artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to develop and deploy reliable, scalable, and specific data solutions. The pace of AI adoption has accelerated during the Covid-19 crisis but the increased rate of adoption is likely to place significant extra demand on computing resources and supporting infrastructure. When it comes to infrastructure, businesses have to adapt and be flexible.
Furthermore, AI infrastructure offers numerous benefits such as it provides enhanced storage capacity. Furthermore, networking is another key component of AI infrastructure. Good, fast and reliable networks are essential to maximize the delivery of results. Deep learning algorithms are highly dependent on communications, so networks need to keep pace with demand as AI efforts expand.
