Companies Dont Miss Out AI Transformation

Malaysia Get Ready – Pentech Solution Sdn Bhd Specialised in AI Infrastructure – AI Infrastructure for Data Centers 2024 – AI infrastructure refers to the underlying framework of hardware, software, and networking components required to support artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) workflows. This infrastructure is essential for training, deploying, and running AI models efficiently and effectively.

At Pentech, we are a Data Center specialist providing AI Infrastructure (small/medium/large industries) to propel towards digital transformation where we help you to deploy your AI Infrastructure for Data Centers.

Main Components of AI Infrastructure: (Need to know)

1. Data Storage & Management
2. Compute Resources
3. Data Processing Framework
4. Machine Learning Framework
5. Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) Platform

Deep Learning	Deep learning is a subset of AI and ML that involves training neural networks with large amounts of data to make decisions or predictions without explicit programming. This provides a great advantage for your organization’s business models to be refined into better ones.
Predictive Modelling	Predictive modelling involves using statistical techniques and machine learning algorithms to predict future outcomes based on historical data. This helps the organization to make better and more accurate planning, or even countermeasures to elevate the business.
Analysis	AI enables advanced data analysis, allowing businesses to extract valuable insights from large, complex datasets. This may also bring the value of AI with progressive and intelligent reporting to make better plans as proactive measures.
Patterns & Recognition	AI systems can recognize patterns in data, images, and speech, enabling applications such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. This helps an organization to save time and reduce human-related errors when there is a requirement for checking and identification.

Who should use it

Basically, any organization that deals with large datasets and find the needs on requiring automation, predictive analytics, and data-driven decision-making can utilize AI Infrastructure. This includes industries like banking, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and more.

Basic requirements to begin with AI

Any organization that deals with large datasets and finds the needs requiring automation, predictive analytics, and data-driven decision-making can utilize AI Infrastructure. This includes industries like banking, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, transportation, and more.

An organization that needs to venture into AI needs access to quality data and expertise in data science and machine learning, meeting the requirements of computational resources by building and getting ready the AI Infrastructure.

5 Main Components of AI Infrastructure in terms of Hardware requirement:

1. CPUs (Central Processing Units): serve as the foundation and are essential within AI Frameworks. 
2. GPUs (Graphics Processing Units): with massive data processing requirements, GPUs are transformative for AI and well-needed for their parallel processing capabilities.
3. TPUs (Tensor Processing Units): a great innovation by Google designed to accelerate machine learning workloads and optimising both inference and training phases of AI development.
4. FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Arrays): a type of configurable integrated circuit that is versatile and customizable for specific AI applications, including image recognition and natural language processing.  
5. Memory systems: one of the most important components that is crucial for storing and rapidly accessing vast amounts of AI application data to support the high-speed computation needs of AI algorithms.

Servers	Servers must be equipped with the 5 main components required for AI to cater the required computational power and memory capacity to train and deploy AI models efficiently. Power Consumption: High-demand of power consumption required by AI Infrastructure is unavoidable, with French powerhouse Schneider Electric estimating the power consumption of AI workloads is totalled around 4.3 gigawatts (GW), approximately 8% of the total power consumption of data centres in 2023. With the rise AI Infrastructure, energy-efficient hardware components and data centre infrastructure is highly sought-after to lower down power consumption to balance performance with sustainability.
Storage	High-capacity storage solutions (e.g. SSDs, NVMe, SCM) to store large datasets and model parameters. With the vast amount of data required to improve the AI stack, huge capacity and high-speed storage will always be in demand for building a good AI Infrastructure.
Network	High-speed networking infrastructure to facilitate data transfer between nodes in distributed computing environments. Here below are some of the key points: High Bandwidth: AI platforms today demand a minimum bandwidth of 800G per connectivity. Low Latency: To facilitate real-time processing and minimize delays, a low-latency network is crucial. Scalability: As AI efforts expand, the network must be able to scale accordingly to handle increased data flow and computational demands. Reliability: Networks must be reliable to ensure consistent delivery of AI computational results.
