Hybrid AI Infrastructure Reviews and Ratings
What is Hybrid AI Infrastructure?
Gartner defines hybrid AI infrastructure as offerings that address the need to enable AI and machine learning (ML) workloads across enterprise data centers, colocation and the edge, and public cloud. The offerings include a combination of compute, storage and networking components, along with the requisite enablement tooling, middleware and libraries. Infrastructure and operations (I&O) leaders can use these solutions to deploy AI in the most strategic location for their needs, whether on-premises, at the edge or in the cloud.
