Lenovo’s Vision For The Future Of Edge Computing Democratizing AI with TruScale The brilliance of Lenovo's TruScale IaaS model lies in its pay-as-you-go approach, now magnanimously extended to edge AI. This consumer-centric model drastically lowers the barriers to entry for smaller enterprises, offering them advanced data center and edge AI hardware sans the burden of upfront capital costs. Lenovo's consumption-based model shines particularly bright in the context of dynamic scalability and cost-effectiveness—two hallmarks that can significantly level the playing field for businesses of varying sizes.

As edge computing continues to evolve, it's expected to adopt various usage patterns and standards specific to different applications, reflecting the diverse set of challenges it addresses. This adaptability is a key strength of edge computing as it continues to grow and mature in conjunction with other technologies like cloud and AI. The lack of common standards is a reflection of the diverse problems it solves. Solutions for oil rig management and other applications have unique requirements and shouldn't be limited by uniform standards. #EdgeComputing #Technology #Innovation 🌐💻🚀

Tier-1 telcos like O2 Telefonica Germany are moving their core 5G networks to AWS, Azure and other public clouds for unparalleled agility, scalability, and cost savings. By doing so, they’re upending the conventional wisdom that telecom giants would stick with on-premises data centers and private cloud infrastructure for their core networks. But there’s a major source of hidden costs these telcos need to address to fully realize the benefits of this move. Find out what it is, and how to overcome it. https://lnkd.in/gDPqUmv8  #5G #Telecom #CloudComputing #AWS #Azure #PublicCloud #Innovation #Scalability #Agility #CostSavings #DigitalTransformation #NetworkOptimization #TechTrends #TelecomIndustry #CloudMigration #FutureOfTelecom #TechInnovation #DISHNetwork #ATT #Verizon #TMobile #BritishTelecom #Orange #DeutscheTelekom #Mitel #carrier #OpenRAN #NetworkEvolution #NFV #CNF #VNF #SDN

Every 1% matters 🍃. . . Halving AI's climate footprint required a re-think of the entire infrastructure stack. SMC's full-rail, #NVIDIA HGX H100 clusters are powered by our immersion cooling platform - the HyberCube - that cuts energy use and CO₂ output by up to 50%. Making that jump requires bold thinking and innovative technology. As part of our drive to maximise efficiency, all SMC H100 instances run on a DC power architecture, developed with our partners. The in-chassis power supply unit (PSU) in typical data AI GPU servers is at best certified to be a minimum of 91% efficient when heavily loaded. The AC to DC conversion system within our HyperCube has a minimum efficiency of 97% when heavily loaded. To make it all scale, the final piece is running this via a DC bus rail, making scaling the cluster seamless - no power cables required (and more e-waste saved!). What you're looking at here is a part of that power delivery system: SMC designed DC power bus adaptors for our H100 instances. In #Singapore, we're delivering sustainable AI GPU clusters at true hyperscale. Join other innovators building their AI pipelines on the world's most energy efficient GPU cloud. https://smc.co/singapore

Almost all of us, at some point, have used cloud computing services. We use the computational resources of distant servers to store data, run applications, and access a plethora of digital services seamlessly. But what if I told you there's a new player in town, one that's bringing computing power even closer to home? Enter "Edge Computing"! 🌐💡 Imagine a world where processing power isn't miles away in some distant server farm, but right at your fingertips, where the action is happening. That's the magic of edge computing – it brings the brains of the cloud right to your doorstep, reducing latency, improving reliability, and empowering real-time applications like never before. Let's dive deeper into the world of edge computing in my blog post! 👇✨ https://lnkd.in/gyGr4pDe

How to connect Generative AI with your infrastructure without losing visibility? 🔍 Despite all the benefits of Generative AI, our partners are increasingly talking about the problems it causes.

70kW at the rack -this is where we come in providing better smarter monitoring at the rack and room level, as with higher densities comes increased HVAC loads to keep the air flowing through hotter running equipment. AQI monitoring comes into the solution set as poor air quality in the form of VOCs and particulate matter flows along to, right through the rack. We have the solutions to mitigate risk, monitor the environment, and instantly alert on threshold breaches. Because 70kW costs a lot more and downtime is not an option. Our passion? - is taking care of your servers.

Broadcom bolsters VMware Edge Compute Stack Updates in VMware Edge Compute Stack 3.5 include zero-touch orchestration capabilities, pull-based architecture, and edge fleet management. A slew of updates in VMware Edge Compute Stack (ECS) 3.5 are aimed at helping customers more easily manage edge devices, applications, and infrastructure across multiple locations, and industry watchers say the updated platform will support AI at the edge. Enterprises are expanding edge computing deployments to meet the scalability and performance requirements of AI applications, and tech vendors are extending feature sets to enable AI in edge locations, according to IDC, which predicts that edge computing investments will reach $232 billion in 2024. “Edge computing will play a pivotal role in the deployment of AI applications,” says Dave McCarthy, research vice president, cloud and edge services at IDC. #VMware #edgecompute #edge https://lnkd.in/e7CJuPGY
