As AI promises to accelerate advanced automation in unprecedented levels, we are on the verge of a surge in Edge compute demand. And most likely, a substantial part of that Edge compute demand will be comprised of GPU clusters to provide distributed AI inference. Even as core data centre buildouts continue to unfold across vast expanses of the world, the shift toward Edge data centres presents both challenges and opportunities. Cutting-edge AI services cannot run inside everyday data centre servers; they need computers with high-performance graphics processing units, GPUs. A substantial part of that Edge compute demand will be comprised of GPU clusters to provide distributed AI inference.
