Business challenge
AI and big data developer Inovia wanted to offer its clients the latest and greatest in AI technology. But hosting its data-intensive training cycles on x86 servers meant they could take years to run.
Transformation
Inovia worked with Conoa to replace its existing x86 platform with IBM Power Systems™ servers equipped with the latest IBM POWER9 processors, dramatically increasing performance of AI workloads.
“POWER9 delivers outstanding performance and is perfectly suited to the task at hand: accelerating the training of AI models. Thanks to the parallel processing capabilities, we can run training cycles 10 times faster than before.”
