Guide to Managed AI Infrastructure
Discover how managed AI infrastructure can accelerate deployments and increase security in our latest executive guide
Now more than ever, it is essential for enterprises to incorporate AI in their business processes. However due to unpredictable costs, a large skill gap in the industry, and a vast portfolio of potential products to adopt, this incorporation can be nebulous at best, and profit-diminishing at worst.
The AI Infrastructure Challenge
The main challenge when introducing AI in any project is operating the underlying stack that supports the models and applications, also known as AI infrastructure. While similar to regular cloud infrastructures, machine learning tools require a tailored approach to operations in order to remain reliable and scalable, and the expertise needed for this approach is both expensive and difficult to find. Neglecting proper operations can lead to significant issues for your company, models, and processes, which can seriously damage your image and reputation.
Why Managed AI?
Outsourcing AI operations is a feasible option in the current climate. It is a process that involves contracting an external managed service provider that ensures the monitoring, management, and troubleshooting of your AI ecosystems at a predictable cost. This enables you to focus on models, without worrying about infrastructure.
Identifying the right provider depends on experience, available product portfolio, security, and communication practices. It is also worth considering what the handover and post-handover options are and what sort of technologies they use during the management process.
