USA News Group Commentary Issued on behalf of Avant Technologies Inc.
VANCOUVER, May 31, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – With the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution fully underway, the importance and security of the data centers that power the new technology is surging. The role and preservation of these data centers is generating multiple calls for them and their power sources to be recognized as a matter of national security. Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt went so far as to predict that AI data centers will one day be “on military bases surrounded by machine guns,” as stated in an interview with Noema Magazine. According to analysts at Dell’Oro Group, data center spending is forecast to grow at an astounding 18% CAGR over the next 5 years. Behind the scenes, tech companies are working tirelessly to provide new developments that will make this transition go smoother, including from Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX), Vertiv Holdings Co (NYSE: VRT), Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE: IRM), and Snowflake Inc. (NYSE: SNOW).
At the forefront of generative AI innovation, Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) has been perfecting its flagship product, Avant AITM. The cutting-edge AI system is praised for its machine and deep learning capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. To explore future possibilities for its AI data center cloud infrastructure, Avant recently engaged Wired4Tech, a highly regarded AI infrastructure consulting firm.
“We are excited to engage Wired4Tech to benchmark the performance of an innovative, next-generation AI server,” said William Hisey, CEO of Avant Technologies. “By conducting rigorous benchmark testing of this promising server technology, we expect to validate its expected performance and cost-saving benefits.”
As part of the new agreement, Wired4Tech will carry out detailed performance benchmarking for Avant. This will include evaluating key metrics such as response time, throughput, CPU and memory usage, disk I/O, network latency, and error rates. A special focus will be placed on response time, analyzing how quickly the server responds to different actions to provide insights into its overall responsiveness.
Avant considers these metrics to be critical for evaluating the server’s ability to handle complex AI tasks both effectively and dependably. Furthermore, Wired4Tech will examine the server’s power usage and identify possible cost-saving opportunities.
Prior to this update, Avant Technologies revealed a bold initiative to create groundbreaking, proprietary AI software aimed at improving its next-generation data centers. Additionally, the company intends to implement AI-driven Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) throughout its data center operations. The AvantAI™ platform has also been upgraded to feature intelligent, proactive monitoring and management capabilities for data centers.
Digital infrastructure company Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ: EQIX) recently announced the availability of Dell PowerStore on its Equinix Metal, a new, enterprise-grade Storage as a Service (STaaS) solution. The new availability enables enterprises to unlock multicloud strategies with enhanced performance, security and control, by marrying Equinix’s cloud adjacency and Dell’s leading storage solutions.
“Businesses need storage solutions that allow them to be more agile and get the most out of their hybrid multicloud architectures,” said Merrie Williamson, Chief Customer and Revenue Officer at Equinix. “By combining the powerful capabilities of Dell PowerStore with Equinix’s global platform, we are giving them the low-latency, high-performance connectivity they require without sacrificing on security or breaking their budget.”
The Dell PowerStore on Equinix Metal service offers businesses an easy way to manage and deploy their storage, computing, and networking needs worldwide.
