Nscale’s AI-Ready Infrastructure
Nscale, a Norwegian company specializing in AI and machine learning, has been working on developing an AI-ready infrastructure to support the growing demand for AI workloads. The company’s datacentre in Stavanger, Norway, has been equipped with a cutting-edge IP network service, courtesy of Nokia.
Key Features of the IP Network Service
The IP network service provided by Nokia is designed to support the high-speed and low-latency requirements of AI workloads. Some of the key features of this service include:
Benefits of the IP Network Service
The IP network service provided by Nokia has several benefits for Nscale, including:
The Challenge of Providing a Reliable Network for AI Services
The datacentre is designed to enable ‘cutting-edge’ AI services, including graphics processing unit as a service (GPUaaS). Nokia said Nscale required a reliable, high-performance network to support these services. The challenge of providing a reliable network for AI services is significant, as it requires a high level of performance, low latency, and high availability. Key characteristics of a reliable network for AI services: + High-performance: The network must be able to handle the high-bandwidth and high-throughput requirements of AI workloads. + Low latency: The network must be able to deliver data quickly and efficiently, with latency as low as 1ms.
The Need for Scalability and Programmability in Datacentres
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, datacentres are the backbone of modern computing. As the demand for computing power and data storage continues to grow, datacentres must adapt to meet these demands. One of the key challenges facing datacentre operators is the need for scalability and programmability. Scalability refers to the ability of a datacentre to handle increasing workloads without compromising performance. This is critical for AI workloads, which require massive amounts of processing power and memory. Programmability, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a datacentre to be configured and customized to meet the specific needs of its users. This is essential for AI workloads, which require complex and dynamic configurations.*
The Role of Ethernet-based Datacentre Fabric
Nokia’s Ethernet-based datacentre fabric provides the scalability and programmability required to handle the rigorous demands of AI workloads.
