What is an AI data centre?
The AI data centre is a facility that stores a network of computing systems and infrastructure that support the high-demanding needs of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning applications. Their goal is to streamline information collection and then process it to generate efficient responses to user prompts entered by them.
The data centre for AI needs to have advanced hardware such as graphics processing units, field-programmable gate arrays, application-specific integrated circuits, and other equipment that optimise the processing and allow for complex computational tasks connected to AI operation.
What are AI data centre solutions?
Solutions that enable AI-ready data centres encompass numerous technologies, services, and strategies that optimise the infrastructure of data centres. The goal is to support both AI and machine learning workloads effectively. AI data centre design consists of hardware components in the form of AI-optimised servers and storage systems adapted to the specific operational conditions in which such systems work.
Additionally, AI-specific data centres require top-quality networking equipment and software solutions like AI frameworks, libraries, or even development tools that can ensure an efficient training, deployment, and then management of AI models.
