“We are pleased to embark on our relationship with Cornelis Networks to drive innovation in the fast-growing High Performance Computing market in the Middle East and North Africa. The proliferation of AI, ML and Data next to more traditional HPC workloads is driving huge demand for HPC in this region and Cornelis Networks is well suited to meet this growing need,‘’ said Suren Vedantham, Managing Director of StorIT.
Generative AI models require massive data sets and an unprecedented scale of compute resources to train. These workloads place immense pressure on the networks that drive them and require the power of Omni-Path interconnects to deliver predictable high performance at production scale. Cornelis Networks and StorIT plan to meet this demand in the MENA region with leading architectures to unlock the full potential that AI has to offer.
