Infinitix and GRAID Technology Join Forces to Create Next-Generation AI-in-a-Box Product

With the recent AI boom, businesses, and academic institutions are accelerating their efforts to learn AI-related technologies. To help AI learners and developers get started more quickly, the market has introduced the concept of "AI-in-a-box" products. Compared to a complete AI infrastructure, AI-in-a-box emphasizes rapid delivery and ease of use, allowing users to focus on AI application development without managing complex infrastructure. AI-in-a-box integrates computing (CPU and GPU), network, and storage resources. It uses an AI stack to manage these resources and provide the middleware needed for AI application development. To offer fast AI computing, not only does the box require more GPU resources, but providing fast data access and data security is also a crucial feature of AI-in-a-box.

Recognizing the growing demand for AI, INFINITIX and startup GRAID Technology have joined forces to create a next-generation AI-in-a-box product. Based on its own brand "INFINITIX AI-Stack Appliance," INFINITIX has added GRAID Technology's SupremeRAID technology to provide enterprise-grade RAID5/6 data protection for underlying SSDs. This breakthrough overcomes traditional RAID bottlenecks, offering up to 6 million IOPS for 4k random access and 25GB/s throughput, ensuring that IO is no longer a bottleneck in AI computing while maintaining data security and transfer performance.

Tsung-Lin Yu, General Manager of GRAID Technology, stated, "We understand the challenges brought by the massive data access and computing needs of 5G, IoT, and AI. SupremeRAID solves the bottleneck of traditional RAID cards, allowing faster data acquisition for more 5G, IoT, and AI computations, achieving previously unimaginable computing speeds. This next-generation AI-in-a-box product combines the user-friendly features of INFINITIX's 'AI-Stack Machine Learning Collaboration Management Platform,' providing customers with a platform for quick start-up, fast transmission, and rapid computation, setting a new benchmark for AI-in-a-box products."

Wen-Yu Chen, General Manager of INFINITIX, explained, "'INFINITIX AI-Stack Appliance' is our AI-in-a-box product launching in 2021, targeting entry-level AI development. It allows you to start simple AI training with an affordable budget, unlike the expensive prices of current big-brand GPU servers. INFINITIX creates user-friendly, high-value software and hardware product combinations, giving you immediate access to a controllable, manageable, shareable, and horizontally scalable machine learning/deep learning computing environment resource pool, bringing flexibility, high-efficiency collaboration, and improved operational cost-effectiveness to GPU computing resources. Purchasing INFINITIX AI-Stack Appliance eliminates the difficulties of seeking quotes from various sources, piecing together hardware, and lacking good management software, making it easy to get started while meeting various resource usage needs for both IT management and AI development."
