CHATSWORTH, Calif. – April 06, 2021 – With artificial intelligence (AI) applications, organizations face the toughest workloads in modern computing history, tasking IT systems and AI architects with some of the greatest challenges in their career yet. Compute, storage, and network resources must be an accelerant for AI workloads rather than a constraint or risk. Working with a trusted advisor can go a long way towards ensuring the success of AI projects.
Recently named DDN Channel Partner of the Year in 2020, a market-leading $13.4 billion technology solutions provider, World Wide Technology services customers with the entire spectrum of considerations involved in AI and HPC workloads, including application workload assessment, network requirements, and capacity, IO and throughput needs. With WWT’s extensive experience in assessing countless data center environments, they’ve earned the trust of customers to provide the best, optimized, most comprehensive solutions for specific workload needs and requirements across the board.
The data center has evolved beyond imagination over the last decade and change is only accelerating. Optimizing solutions for AI and HPC ecosystems is no simple task and expertise in doing so has come to WWT through the resolution of countless challenges in customers’ demanding workflows with the considerations of data ingestion, data curation, training, inference, validation and simulation. While taking the vast complexities of an environment into consideration can be daunting, organizations don’t have to face the challenge of optimizing a solution alone. WWT’s consultation practice takes the guesswork out of infrastructure changes by providing end to end services for customers looking at ways to increase ROI and get faster times to insight – from assessment to deployment WWT provides customers with everything they need to make those important decisions.
Turnkey infrastructure solutions built by DDN and NVIDIA allow WWT to consistently deliver customers with maximum performance for AI resources in use cases including AI inference and training for autonomous vehicles, machine and deep learning, and advanced computations and modeling for Monte Carlo Simulations, genomic sequencing, and algorithmic trading.
