Infosys Builds applied AI Cloud, Part of Infosys Cobalt, to Democratize AI Within its Workforce and Expand Ability to Drive AI-driven Transformation for Enterprises
BENGALURU, India, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

 - Powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 systems, the applied AI cloud will provide 
Infosys employees simple and fast access to AI infrastructure  


    Infosys [https://www.infosys.com/] (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in 
next-generation digital services and consulting, today announced the launch of 
an Infosys Cobalt offering - its applied AI cloud, built on NVIDIA DGXTM A100 
systems [https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/data-center/dgx-a100/], the universal 
system for all AI workloads, offering unprecedented compute density, 
performance, and flexibility. The powerful new Infosys applied AI cloud will be 
an AI center of excellence for the company, enabling developers and project 
teams at Infosys to quickly and easily access AI hardware and software stacks, 
across both private and public clouds, to build contextualized services that 
deliver AI-first business processes for enterprises. NVIDIA DGX A100 systems 
will provide the infrastructure and the advanced compute power needed for over 
100 project teams to run machine learning and deep learning operations, 
simultaneously. NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) technology 
[https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/technologies/multi-instance-gpu/] will enable 
Infosys to improve infrastructure efficiency and maximize utilization of each 
DGX A100 system. Teams can process AI algorithms centrally or locally on any 
device, without lag, using Infosys edge AI.

    As a service delivery partner in the NVIDIA Partner Network 
[https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/about-nvidia/partners/], Infosys will also be 
able to build  NVIDIA DGX A100-powered, on-prem AI clouds for enterprises, 
providing access to cognitive services, licensed and open source AI 
software-as-a-service (SaaS), pre-built AI platforms, solutions, models and 
edge capabilities. Infosys will enable businesses to harness their own data 
estates, open source data and curated data exchanges on the cloud to build and 
train their AI models. Enterprises can leverage this advantage, along with 
services delivered by any hyperscale cloud provider to scale and future-proof 
their AI-powered transformation.

    "For a long time now, AI has been playing a key role in shaping consumer 
experience. Cloud, data analytics and AI are now converging to bring the 
opportunity for enterprises to not just drive consumer experience but reimagine 
processes and capabilities too," said Balakrishna D.R., Senior VP, Head - AI & 
Automation Services, Infosys. "Infosys applied AI cloud, powered by NVIDIA DGX 
A100 systems, can help enterprises to quickly build on the opportunity, while 
scaling with new technological advancements."

    "Many organizations are eager to infuse their business with AI but lack the 
strategic platform on which they can pool expertise and scale the computing 
resources needed to build mission-critical AI applications," said Charlie 
Boyle, Vice President and General Manager of DGX Systems at NVIDIA. "Working 
with Infosys, we're helping organizations everywhere build their own AI centers 
of excellence, powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 and NVIDIA DGX POD infrastructure to 
speed the ROI of AI investments."
