An all-new hyperscale configuration of AI-Ready Infrastructure (AIRI) is designed to deliver supercomputing capabilities for enterprises that have grown beyond the capabilities of existing AI-ready solutions. Built jointly with NVIDIA and Mellanox, hyperscale AIRI delivers multiple racks of NVIDIA DGX-1 and DGX-2 systems with both Infiniband and Ethernet fabrics as interconnect options. NVIDIA announced the acquisition of Mellanox on March 11.
Hyperscale AIRI delivers a simple yet powerful architecture that eliminates the challenges that prevent organisations from deploying AI-at-scale. With the NVIDIA NGC software container registry and the AIRI scaling toolkit, data scientists can begin building applications with containerised AI frameworks and rededicate time to deriving valuable insights from data. In addition, integration with Kubernetes and Pure Service Orchestrator means any IT team can deliver an AI-infrastructure with cloud-like elasticity. Hyperscale AIRI allows enterprises to scale beyond NVIDIA DGX-1 to DGX-2.
“Businesses from a variety of industries are discovering that AI is necessary to tackle existing problems and create new opportunities,” said Matt Burr, GM of FlashBlade, Pure Storage.
“For example, healthcare organisations from around the world are using AI to bring advancements to treatments and quality of care. AI is complex and in its early stages, which means the solutions built to enable AI must be straightforward and user-friendly. Hyperscale AIRI is designed to bring supercomputing capabilities to pioneers of real-world AI without the complexities that often occur when scaling across multiple racks.”
“AI innovators and their IT teams need a faster path to growing infrastructure without the setbacks of design complexity and unexpected performance or operations bottlenecks. Enterprises need a rack-scale infrastructure solution that offers a streamlined, predictable path for growing capacity,” said Tony Paikeday, Director of DGX Systems, NVIDIA.

“With hyperscale AIRI, enterprises are getting a simplified solution that accelerates deployments and scales predictably in response to business demand.”
Hyperscale AIRI requires a network compatible with large high-performance computing environments. Mellanox’s high-performance network delivers the industry’s lowest latency and highest bandwidth network for hyperscale AIRI.
Rob Davis, VP of Storage Technology, Mellanox said, "Building a scalable and high-performance AI infrastructure is one of the toughest challenges faced by our data centre customers. Mellanox end-to-end Ethernet and Infiniband interconnect solutions power some of the biggest supercomputers in the world. Hyperscale AIRI integrates the best of breed technologies from Mellanox, Pure Storage and NVIDIA into a reference architecture that can seamlessly scale from a single rack to massive systems."
Pure Storage also announced FlashStack for AI, a solution built jointly with Cisco and NVIDIA to bring AI within reach of every enterprise.

FlashStack for AI, built with Cisco UCS C480ML and Pure Storage FlashBlade, enables enterprise IT teams to deliver a simplified, end-to-end AI pipeline with a wide range of Cisco-certified UCS servers powered by NVIDIA GPU CUDA-accelerated AI libraries integrated with Pure Storage’s data hub.
“FlashStack is a cutting-edge converged infrastructure designed to deliver outstanding performance and reliability. With the addition of the UCS C480 ML, FlashStack for AI is extending the existing infrastructure to support AI/machine learning (ML) workloads without adding new infrastructure silos,” said Todd Brannon, Senior Director of Product Marketing for UCS Portfolio, Cisco.
AIRI was announced in March 2018, and has since gained traction across many verticals. Based in Linkou, Taiwan, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital is one of the most prestigious medical and education centres in Taiwan. The hospital has trained more than 1,700 practising physicians from 75 different countries in the last decade. With 29 specialty centres treating over 10,000 local and international patients a year, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital specialises in genomics. Using AIRI they have been able to extract value from their data quickly and bring impactful innovations to healthcare faster.
“With faster access to our large datasets, we are able to quickly identify disease-carrying genes and develop new treatments and preventative measures at a much faster rate,” said Dr Chi-hung Lin, Associate Research Fellow, Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine, Linkou Chang Gung Memorial Hospital.
“Our vision is to eventually become a service provider for local medical practitioners by delivering machine learning and deep learning experiences across other hospitals in Taiwan. We're able to receive the results from our genomic research much faster with AIRI. With this ability, the amount of information we've gathered for local medical providers to use and benefit from has increased.”
