What is AI Infrastructure?
Infrastructure supporting AI training, inference, and accelerated computing.
What is it?
AI infrastructure is the specialized compute, networking, and facilities supporting AI training and inference. Its high density, cost, and power demands make placement and utilization decisions especially consequential.
Why does it matter?
AI workloads are growing quickly and consume scarce, expensive accelerated computing. Poor placement and low utilization waste capital and energy, while good decisions unlock performance and efficiency.
Business challenges
- Accelerated compute is scarce and expensive
- Density drives power and cooling constraints
- Workload placement is complex across edge and core
- Utilization is often low without active management
Business decisions
- How should AI workloads be distributed across compute?
- Where should AI infrastructure be deployed?
- How can accelerated compute utilization be improved?
- How can performance and energy cost be balanced?
Typical data sources
- Compute utilization and telemetry
- Workload and training/inference requirements
- Power and cooling data
- Capacity and availability inventories
Business outcomes
- Higher utilization of accelerated compute
- Better AI infrastructure performance
- Lower cost and energy per workload
- Better-informed capacity investment
