PALM BEACH, Fla., May 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FN Media Group News Commentary - Cloud infrastructure is an integration of A.I., hardware and software resources that create the cloud. The cloud providers maintain worldwide data hubs with multiple IT infrastructure elements, such as servers, physical storage equipment, and networking devices. These form the physical equipment by using all types of OS configurations. They also install different types of software that are needed for an application to run smoothly. The cloud infrastructure in a pay-as-you-go method will help substantially reduce the cost of acquiring and sustaining individuals’ elements. A report from MarketResearch.Biz said that the cloud infrastructure service market was valued at USD 131.9 billion in 2023. It is expected to reach USD $282.1 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 8.11% during the forecast period from 2024 to 2033. The report added: “The surge in demand for new cloud-based advanced technologies and the rise in data quantities are some of the main driving factors for the cloud infrastructure service market.” Cloud infrastructure plays an important role in cloud computing. It supports this by splitting the characteristics and operations of these hardware and software elements. The virtualized resources are then developed by a cloud service provider in the case of a private cloud and made accessible to users all over the internet. Virtual machines and components consisting of servers, memory, storage, firewalls, and network switches are some of the perfect examples of such resources. These resources are constantly making extensive and task-oriented services such as Artificial Intelligence.” Active tech companies in the markets this week include: Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), C3 AI (NYSE: AI), SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN), Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE: PLTR), Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW).
MarketResearch.Biz continued: “According to a report published by Google Cloud in January 2022, there has been a rise of 41.4% in the usage of cloud-based services and products. The cloud giants are also planning to transfer legacy enterprise software to cloud-based equipment (33%). Moreover, as per the survey conducted by Google Cloud, there are more than 50% of cloud decision-makers are either hiring new staff or providing re-training to the present staff to augment their cloud spend. There will be more than 50% of the enterprise firms that will use industry cloud platforms to accelerate their business initiatives by 2027. In IT sectors, cloud infrastructure is predominantly used as it has several advantages, such as enhanced data control, high data security, advances in software updates, increased storage capacity, and flexibility in storage capacity. These are also cost-effective and augment the performance with 99% efficacy and quality. Cloud infrastructure also offers high-end management services and maintains proper functioning and sustainability. The demand for cloud infrastructure will rapidly increase due to its requirements in IT sectors, which will help in market expansion during the forecasted period. Cloud providers continuously introduce new services and updates, enabling major companies, including startups, to rapidly access advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence.”
Avant Technologies, Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) Engages Wired4Tech to Evaluate the Performance of Next Generation AI Server Technology - Avant Technologies, Inc. (“Avant” or the “Company”), a leading innovator and enabler of AI infrastructure technology, announces its engagement with Wired4Tech, a renowned AI infrastructure consulting firm.
As part of its existing technology services agreement with Wired4Tech, Avant Technologies has engaged Wired4Tech to conduct comprehensive performance benchmarking of a next-generation AI cloud server that Avant is evaluating for future use in its AI data center cloud infrastructure.
Wired4Tech’s performance benchmarking will encompass a range of crucial metrics, including response time, throughput, CPU and memory usage, disk I/O, network latency, and error rates. These metrics are essential for assessing the server's ability to handle complex AI workloads efficiently and reliably. Additionally, Wired4Tech will measure the server’s power consumption and anticipated cost savings.
Response time will be evaluated to measure the speed at which the server responds to various actions, providing insight into its overall responsiveness. Throughput analysis will assess the server's data transfer capabilities, considering factors such as file size, cached or uncached content, and available network bandwidth.
Furthermore, CPU and memory usage will be closely monitored to gauge the server's processing power and memory management efficiency. Disk I/O performance will be evaluated to ensure smooth data access and storage operations, while network latency measurements will provide valuable information on the server's communication speed with external systems.
"We are excited to engage Wired4Tech to benchmark the performance of an innovative, next-generation AI server," said William Hisey, Chief Executive Officer, at Avant Technologies. "By conducting rigorous benchmark testing of this promising server technology, we expect to validate its expected performance and cost-saving benefits." The results of the benchmark testing will enable Avant Technologies to further execute on its AI infrastructure business strategy.
