Unlocking the Power of Enterprise AI Nutanix and Avesha's Elastic GPU Service for Scalable Inferencing.jpg

In today’s fast-paced business environment, enterprise AI is no longer an optional upgrade—it’s a crucial component of operations, decision-making, and growth strategies. Companies implementing AI on an enterprise scale face the challenge of managing highly efficient inferencing workloads without compromising performance for cost. This is where Nutanix, a leading hybrid cloud innovator, and Avesha, with its advanced Elastic GPU Service (EGS), collaborate to broaden the possibilities for AI deployments. 

Why AI Needs Nutanix’s Robust Infrastructure 

Nutanix offers a hybrid cloud platform that simplifies management, provides on-premises-like control, and effortlessly connects with public cloud environments. For AI-enabled applications, Nutanix delivers three main benefits:

  1. Performance Optimization: AI workloads require consistently high throughput and low latency during both the training and inference phases. Nutanix’s infrastructure guarantees the scalability and performance needed to meet these demands. 
  2. Unified Management: Enterprises benefit from Nutanix’s ability to unify multiple environments, whether on-premise or cloud-based. Teams can focus on deploying advanced AI models without worrying about the complexity of managing hybrid systems. 
  3. Security and Resilience: Nutanix enhances AI workloads with robust security protocols, ensuring compliance and sovereignty when managing sensitive business data. 

These features make the Nutanix Cloud Platform with the Elastic GPU Service from Avesha the preferred solution for enterprises handling complex AI workloads to create a winning recipe for scalable inferencing.

The process of enabling AI models to analyze real-time data and generate predictions is cumbersome when workloads spike unpredictably or GPUs are underutilized. Avesha’s Elastic GPU Service addresses these issues smoothly. Here’s how: 

  1. Dynamic Scaling: EGS introduces elasticity to the GPU ecosystem, enabling enterprises to adjust resources in response to current workload demands dynamically. Whether traffic spikes are temporary or ongoing, EGS ensures that enterprises only pay for the GPU capacity they need through its patented predictive scaling technology, saving costs without compromising performance. 
  2. Workload Optimization: Unlike static configurations, EGS fine-tunes every layer of GPU usage to improve efficiency for inferencing workloads. It also helps prevent bottlenecks that can occur when workloads surpass traditional capacity limits through its patented workload balancing technology.
  3. Observability and Orchestration: EGS provides real-time visibility into GPU utilization, enabling enterprises to manage resources more effectively and automate the strategic allocation of power. These features make Elastic GPU Service an ideal addition to Nutanix’s hybrid cloud system for enterprise AI. 

This observability is also amplified by Obliq, Avesha’s multi-agent SRE control plane. The agents learn workload patterns, predict scaling needs, and can also automatically trigger EGS policies - so optimization occurs before a human even opens a dashboard. 

Scaling AI Workloads, Simplified

When Nutanix and EGS work together, scaling inferencing workloads becomes frictionless. AI models use Nutanix’s infrastructure to deliver high- performance processing within the platform’s secure hybrid architecture. Meanwhile, EGS offers powerful optimizations for cost efficiency, enhanced security, resource allocation, job prioritization, and multi-tenancy, providing a 360-degree view of workload performance.

  1. Operational Efficiency: Businesses can automatically scale inferencing workloads while keeping GPU costs predictable and manageable.
  2. Accelerating AI Projects: These innovations simplify the deployment and management of advanced AI applications, enabling enterprise teams to focus on innovation and insights.
  3. Seamless Cloud Integration: Nutanix offers seamless integration across hybrid environments, and EGS enhances this by allowing GPU scalability even during cloud-bursting scenarios.

Real-World Applications 

Some use cases where Nutanix and EGS shine:

  1. Retail Demand Forecasting: Inferencing models in retail can analyze consumer data in real-time, dynamically scaling resources to handle sudden traffic surges during seasonal peaks.
  2. Healthcare Diagnostics: Advanced AI models for medical imaging rely on dependable GPU power to deliver accurate and timely diagnoses. With Nutanix and EGS, healthcare workloads can expand to meet the growing needs of patients.
  3. Manufacturing Predictive Maintenance: Scaling inferencing models for IoT devices in manufacturing enables businesses to predict malfunctions and optimize operations effectively.

The Future of Scalable Enterprise AI 

Together, Nutanix and Avesha’s Elastic GPU Service offer an unmatched solution for enterprise clients looking to scale AI workloads effectively, securely, and affordably. This partnership allows organizations to adopt AI on a large scale without experiencing performance limitations or cost inefficiencies. 

Add Obliq’s autonomous SRE layer and the stack becomes self-optimizing - detecting anomalies, self-healing, and pre-emptively right-sizing GPU pools so teams stay focused on innovation, not firefighting.

By utilizing these advanced solutions, businesses can enhance inferencing scalability, paving the way for innovative breakthroughs in their respective industries. This powerful combination is more than just a technology stack— it’s a driver of progress and a catalyst for transformation in the era of AI. Ready to unlock the power of scalable enterprise AI?
