Intel and Aible work together to help enterprises put analytics and AI on the fast track

Intel Xeon Scalable Processors Combined with Software Optimization Help Enterprises Visualize Business Outcomes within 30 Days

Recently, Intel and Aible have started a collaboration to help core industry teams make full use of artificial intelligence technology to help achieve rapid and quantifiable business results. This in-depth cooperation covers engineering optimization and innovative benchmarking projects, which can effectively accelerate Aible's delivery of results for enterprise customers. Based on Intel Scalable Processors, Aible technology creates a "serverless first" approach that enables developers to develop and run applications without managing servers and improve software agility while reducing total cost of ownership (TCO).

英特尔公司副总裁兼数据中心、人工智能和云计算执行与战略总经理Kavitha Prasad 表示：“目前，企业IT基础设施领导者们正面临着巨大的挑战，关于如何通过构建IT底层基座来帮助业务团队使用数据中心的AI创新应用并创造价值。现阶段，我们已经超越在“纸”上谈论AI潜力的阶段了，得益于英特尔®至强®可扩展处理器，以及英特尔与Aible联合开发的内置软件优化，诸多核心行业的业务团队在几天之内便能够收获显著的业务效果。”

As technology accelerates, developers are increasingly demanding scalability, processing speed, and low cost in order to efficiently manage the massive influx of data. Based on Intel's long-term investment in open source software and its Xeon Scalable processors with built-in AI accelerators, it can help users optimize diverse workloads and performance through a consistent, open architecture.

Compared with other server-oriented solutions on the market, Aible's serverless strategy can speed up the training of machine learning models. 1 The collaboration between Intel and Aible has promoted innovative upgrades in data management and data operations, enhanced data analysis, AI model training and reasoning, and overall enhanced analysis workflows.

Through enhanced data engineering, enhanced analytics, and enhanced data science and machine learning, Aible delivers a good return on investment in every data-driven business segment and systematically reduces risk while increasing the impact of AI.

Based on current and upcoming Intel platforms, products and their capabilities, including Intel® AVX-512, DL Boost, Intel SGX, oneAPI deep neural network library, software and infrastructure related products, Aible's technology can improve performance, accelerate time to value and reduce total cost of ownership. Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit is developed based on oneAPI, and the Intel optimized software package includes Tensorflow, Numpy, SciPy and other popular libraries, which can provide 2-3 times the performance on Intel Xeon Scalable processors1.

Thanks to built-in Intel-optimized AI software and Intel Xeon Scalable processors, Aible's customers can significantly increase their deployment speed and have a significant positive impact on their business. In Aible's "Benefit from AI in 30 Days" program, 20 customers, including two Fortune 500 customers, Nova Southeastern University, and Vertiv, have successfully achieved positive impacts from AI.

For more than 50 years, Intel has been working closely with customers to optimize software through in-depth analysis of each layer of the solution stack, including application software, orchestration, and hardware. At the same time, Intel has also worked with the AI ​​ecosystem to develop a wide range of software tools, frameworks, and libraries to meet the most demanding data science needs. At this stage, through built-in hardware acceleration and optimization for popular software tools, Intel has simplified the AI ​​workflow from data acquisition to large-scale deployment. For innovators who want to apply AI to meet huge challenges, Intel is paving the way for AI to be ubiquitous and accelerating the implementation and application of AI.

At this stage, enterprise IT infrastructure leaders are facing huge challenges on how to help business teams use AI innovation applications in data centers and create value by building an IT foundation. The combination of Aible technology and Intel-based infrastructure can bring great advantages to the entire AI life cycle, from evaluating data to automatically discovering insights, to model training, deployment and monitoring, and thus meet the challenges.

This collaboration can help enterprises reduce the total cost of ownership of AI applications by 3-4 times based on currently deployed infrastructure without increasing complexity. Customers can not only lay a solid foundation for AI applications using Xeon Scalable processors, but also combine scalable serverless architectures to meet current and future workload requirements.

illustrate:

1 According to Intel and Aible’s benchmark report, “The study also shows that serverless computing provides a better experience than traditional server architectures with similar Intel processors. When using serverless solutions, applications are 2-3 times more cost-effective, have a 3-4 times lower total cost of ownership, and are 2-3 times faster than server architectures.”
