BENGALURU, India, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- 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."
