REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE:

Power the Next Generation of AI with Industry-Standard AI Factories

Deliver Sovereign, GPU-Powered AI Clouds at Scale

AI Factories are rapidly becoming the industry’s gold standard for delivering modern AI and ML services. These factories are highly automated, secure, and scalable infrastructure platforms purpose-built to support every phase of the AI lifecycle, from model training and fine-tuning to real-time inference and agentic AI. For service providers and innovative enterprises, the ability to offer sovereign, GPU-powered AI clouds is the new competitive edge.

The Challenge: Building Bleeding-Edge AI Infrastructure for Sovereignty and Scale

Today’s AI demands are outpacing the capabilities of conventional cloud and data center approaches. The industry is converging on the AI Factory paradigm, where advanced, composable infrastructure enables:

Sovereign AI Clouds: Retain full control of data, workloads, and compliance, critical for service providers in regulated industries or national markets.

Multi-Tenant Service Delivery: Securely isolate environments for each tenant, ensuring data privacy, high performance, and resource efficiency at scale.

GPU & Accelerator Scarcity: Maximize utilization and flexibly allocate premium hardware for both training and inference.

Hybrid, Edge, and Multi-Cloud Expansion: Deploy across diverse locations and seamlessly manage AI workloads everywhere.

These capabilities represent a shift to fundamentally new architectures that blur the lines between supercomputing and cloud-native paradigms.
