Amazon announced A new product on Tuesday called an “AI factory” that allows large companies and governments to run AI systems in their own data centers. Or as AWS puts it: customers provide power and data centers, and ent pluks in AI systems, manage them, and can tie them to other cloud services.
The idea is to solve companies and governments that are concerned with data sovereignty, or absolute control over data so that they cannot spray it into the hands of competitors or their name. Factory AI AI in Prem means that it does not send data to the manufacturer of the model, nor does it show the hardware.
If the product name rings a bell, it should. That’s what Nvidia calls a hardware system full of tools needed to run AI, from GPU chips to network technology. This AWS AI Factory is, in fact, a collaboration with Nvidia, Both companies said.
In this case, the AWS factory will use both AWS and Nvidia technologies. Companies deploying these systems can choose Nvidia’s latest Blackwell GPU or the new Trainum3 chip. Using Network, Homegrown, Storage, Safety and Security and can tap into Amazon Bedrock – AI models and AI management services, and AI AI, and AI training services, training buildings.
Interestingly, AWs is far from the only riant cloud provider that installs the NVIDIA AI factory. In October, Microsoft showed it for the first time to others AI factories rotate to global data centers To run the Openai workload. Microsoft did not announce when this extreme machine will be available for private cloud. However, Microsoft highlighted how it is using Tech Data’s host of NVIDIA AI Data Factories to build and connect “new AI Superfactories,” aka new State data centers built in Wisconsin and Georgia.
last month, Microsoft also outlines data centers and cloud computing It will be built in local countries to solve data sovereignty issues. To be fair, their options also include “Azure Local,” Microsoft’s Managed Hardware that can be installed at customer sites.
Still, it’s a bit ironic that AI has caused the biggest cloud providers to plant models in large numbers in private data centers and hybrid clouds like 2009 again.
