Artificial intelligence (AI) offers unprecedented potential to transform industries and is permeating all levels of business operations—from customers expecting new experiences to board-level initiatives. Gartner reports that 62% of CFOs and 58% of CEOs believe AI will significantly impact their businesses within the next three years. With this focus, investment in AI has accelerated as organizations seek to keep pace and remain competitive. By 2028, global spending on AI, including generative AI, is projected to reach $632 billion, growing at a 29% annual rate, according to IDC.

The foundation of AI, notably generative AI, starts with the deployment of GPU-accelerated, high-performance computing infrastructure. For many organizations, designing, building, and operating AI clusters is the crucial first step in the AI journey. This initial AI infrastructure deployment process often plays the most critical role in dictating the long-term success of an organization’s AI strategy. At the same time, AI infrastructure introduces a level of complexity that traditional IT and operations teams have not faced previously, requiring organizations to balance speed and investment with ability to execute.

In the race to realize AI’s value, organizations must get the design, build, deploy, and manage process right. This eBook provides the topline on deploying AI infrastructure to meet corporate AI initiatives.
