testing and adoption using the Dell AI Factory with
NVIDIA

academic institutions for AI research and innovation
TOKYO, Nov. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Kyndryl (NYSE: KD), the world's largest IT
infrastructure services provider, today launched a dedicated AI
private cloud designed to enable AI innovation in Japan. Supported by a collaboration with Dell
Technologies using the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, Kyndryl is
establishing a controlled, security-rich and sovereign cloud where
organizations can develop, test and implement AI services that
expand their ability to compete and accelerate business
performance.
Kyndryl's new AI private cloud in Japan will help financial institutions,
insurance providers, manufacturers, retail companies, and academics
to confidently design and prepare to deploy innovative AI-powered
solutions.
Under the collaboration, Kyndryl is establishing a Kyndryl
Vital AI Lab capability that will leverage the AI-powered open
integration digital business platform, Kyndryl Bridge, to support
end-to-end AI applications and solution development on the NVIDIA
AI Enterprise software platform. Kyndryl experts will assist
with envisioning and co-creating solutions that harness the
benefits of generative AI and large language models to drive
innovation and achieve business objectives. Kyndryl also will
apply the domain and industry expertise of Kyndryl Consult to
advance customers' ability to create, verify and deliver AI at
scale.
"Organizations want to explore and understand how AI and
generative AI can enhance and accelerate their business and
technology transformation initiatives. They need a reliable and
scalable environment with advanced security capabilities where they
can develop, test and refine new solutions," said Jonathan Ingram, President, Kyndryl Japan. "Our
new AI private cloud with the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA will
provide a stable and trusted space where customers and Japanese
academic institutions can confidently and privately design new
applications and solutions, with support for their security,
sovereignty, and data residency requirements."
Customers using the AI private cloud environment also can access
Kyndryl's decades of experience supporting and managing mission
critical applications and systems. The collaboration also will
leverage Kyndryl's ongoing work with NVIDIA that is focused on
driving the development, implementation and use of solutions that
deliver AI-powered insights and business outcomes.
"The Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA integrates Dell's leading AI
portfolio with the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform,
providing Kyndryl customers the option to procure an end-to-end,
pre-validated, full stack infrastructure," said Kyle Dufresne, SVP, AI solutions sales, Dell
Technologies. "With this collaboration, Kyndryl customers can get
started on a wide range of AI and generative AI use cases that
require security and performance, including retrieval-augmented
generation (RAG), model training, and inferencing."
"Enterprises need next-gen expertise and skills to drive
innovation within their businesses and tackle today's AI
challenges," said Bob Pette, Vice
President of Enterprise Platforms, NVIDIA. "The combination of Dell
AI Factory with NVIDIA and Kyndryl's infrastructure services
experience will provide the technical foundation and know-how that
organizations require to develop and deploy AI at scale."
Kyndryl will support a variety of customer use cases via its AI
private cloud and plans to explore ways the environment
can be optimized to enable efficient workload orchestration
and workload placement, along with examining how it can enable
fractional GPU capabilities to support more granular control over
computing resources.
To accelerate customer adoption and implementation of generative
AI solutions Kyndryl also plans to leverage NVIDIA NeMo,
NVIDIA NeMo Retriever and NVIDIA NIM microservices, all part of the
NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform for the development and
deployment of production-grade generative AI applications. This
will advance customers' ability to transform the build, operation
and scale-out of an AI factory, leveraging AI integrations across
the NVIDIA stack for smooth performance of the AI private
cloud.
Through Kyndryl's new dedicated private AI cloud service,
customers can tap into a wealth of expertise crucial to their
adoption of AI at scale, with support for their data security,
sovereignty, and residency requirements.
