AI Factory built on high-performance architecture

High-performance architecture (HPA) is a purpose-built platform designed to process massive volumes of data and solve complex problems at high speed. As the foundation of scalable, production-ready AI infrastructure — what we call the AI Factory — HPA integrates high-performance computing (also referred to as accelerated computing), high-performance networking and high-performance storage, as well as workflow orchestration and infrastructure management to support AI across cloud, on-premises and hybrid environments.

 

Learn how WWT has developed and deployed AI solutions on high-performance architectures through our AI Proving Ground. This unrivaled blend of multi-OEM infrastructure, software and cloud connectivity is designed to accelerate the decision-making process when it comes to AI-powered solutions.

Explore the AI Proving Ground

High-performance architecture is critical to each phase of the AI workflow, from model development through deployment. Without the right foundation, enterprises will struggle to realize the full value of investments in AI applications.

High-performance computing (HPC)

The right amount of combined CPU and GPU processing power is needed to train and run modern AI engines. 

High-performance storage

The ability to reliability store, clean and scan massive amounts of data is required to train AI/ML models. 

High-performance networking

AI/ML applications require extremely high-bandwidth and low-latency network connections. 

AI workflow orchestration & infrastructure management

The coordinated management and optimization of AI workloads, resources and infrastructure to ensure efficient, scalable and reliable AI operations across environments.

High-performance architecture is critical to AI infrastructure

AI solutions require purpose-built architectures that allow for fast model development, training, tuning and real-time intelligent interaction. This makes HPA a core component of any robust AI infrastructure strategy, particularly for enterprises building AI for business infrastructure that supports growth and agility.
