Video Surveillance, Facial Recognition, Medical Imaging, and
Retail
SAN
FRANCISCO, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
OrionVM®, a next-generation Cloud and AI company, today announced a
further evolution of their strategic partnership with Blaize®, a
leader of purpose-built, AI-enabled edge computing solutions, to
launch a hosted Artificial Intelligence (AI) inferencing
environment powered by Blaize's Graph Streaming Processor (GSP®).
Through this collaboration, Blaize's cutting-edge AI hardware and
software offerings are now available in virtualized instances via
the OrionVM cloud platform, unlocking new levels of scalability,
accessibility, and performance for businesses, independent software
vendors (ISVs), and AI developers. This new offering delivers an
efficient, cost-effective alternative to traditional GPU-based
systems for developing AI applications in video surveillance,
facial recognition, medical imaging, retail sectors, and more.
"This collaboration represents a major
milestone in our mission to democratize access to AI technology,
enabling companies of all sizes to deploy and scale AI-powered
applications more easily and cost-effectively than ever
before."
Blaize GSP technology, designed specifically for AI inferencing,
is a lower-power, lower-cost alternative to GPUs. Combining
Blaize's high-efficiency GSPs with OrionVM's high-performance
InfiniBand networking creates an ideal environment for low-latency,
high-throughput AI and data processing workloads. The multi-tiered
architecture of OrionVM allows for flexible resource allocation and
efficient scaling, enabling companies to optimize their
infrastructure costs while maintaining performance. Additionally,
OrionVM's white-labeling capability allows service providers to
customize and brand their offerings, extending tailored solutions
to customers while leveraging the power and efficiency of Blaize
GSPs hosted on OrionVM's infrastructure.
This integration provides a comprehensive, performance-driven
cloud solution for enterprises handling complex AI, analytics, and
data-intensive tasks. Customers can now access Blaize's hardware
and software directly from the cloud, removing traditional barriers
to adoption, such as hardware procurement and setup time, and
significantly reducing time-to-market for AI-driven solutions.
Key Features of the Partnership:
- Cloud-based AI Hardware: Blaize's powerful edge computing
devices, such as the Blaize Pathfinder and Xplorer platforms, will
be available as cloud-hosted services, enabling users to leverage
the full capabilities of AI processing without requiring physical
hardware on-site.
- Software-Driven AI Acceleration: Blaize's cutting-edge AI
software development platform, including the open-source Blaize AI
Studio, will fully integrate into OrionVM, offering users a
comprehensive toolset to develop, test, and deploy AI applications
directly from the cloud.
- Scalability and Flexibility: OrionVM's highly efficient and
flexible cloud infrastructure allows businesses to dynamically
scale their AI operations according to demand, providing on-demand
resources for large-scale AI projects and pay-as-you-go pricing
models. OrionVM's robust cloud infrastructure, combined with GSP
inferencing capabilities, ensures that applications can be deployed
with low latency and high performance worldwide, providing ISVs the
flexibility to grow and adapt as business needs evolve.
- Privacy/Security. Blaize and OrionVM offer a secure, private
environment for AI workloads. Allowing clients to retain full
control of their data, models, and output using Blaize GSP on an
OrionVM private cloud deployment without requiring disclosure to
expensive, limited public models. OrionVM's product suite is a
one-stop shop for hosting and securing every component along an AI
journey.
The new offering also empowers industry-specific solutions,
including:
- Video Surveillance: Real-time AI analytics for monitoring,
threat detection, and behavior analysis.
- Facial Recognition: AI-powered security and operational
enhancements with automated identity verification.
- Medical Imaging: Enhanced diagnostic accuracy and advanced
imaging for healthcare professionals, accelerating patient care and
outcomes.
- Smart Retail: Intelligent AI systems that enhance customer
experiences through facial recognition, product recommendations,
and in-store analytics.
"Our partnership with Blaize introduces a breakthrough in AI
application development for ISVs," said Daniel Pfeiffer, COO & VP Partnerships at
OrionVM. "By combining our cloud infrastructure with Blaize's GSPs,
we're enabling developers to deliver AI-driven solutions faster and
more affordable than ever before. This collaboration will bring
tremendous value to industries relying on real-time
inferencing."
"We are thrilled to partner with OrionVM to bring Blaize's AI
solutions into the cloud," said Dinakar
Munagala, CEO of Blaize. "This collaboration represents a
major milestone in our mission to democratize access to AI
technology, enabling companies of all sizes to deploy and scale
AI-powered applications more easily and cost-effectively than ever
before."
