Enables unmatched performance, efficiency by
speeding up ingest performance and access to unstructured data from
a unified, global namespace
Kalray (Euronext Growth Paris: ALKAL), a technology innovator
building software and hardware solutions that accelerate
data-intensive workflows, announced Ngenea® for AI, a new edition
of its Kalray Data Acceleration Platform specifically fine-tuned
for AI data pipelines. As AI demands new ways to ingest and access
massive volumes of data, Ngenea for AI helps teams speed up
performance, simplify data management and open their data assets to
new AI-powered use cases.
Ngenea for AI is the companion to two Ngenea editions for Media
& Entertainment and HPC customers, respectively. The new Ngenea
for AI empowers AI innovators to speed up their ingest performance
and access their unstructured data from a unified, global name
space. Kalray debuted Ngenea for AI at Dell Technologies World 2024
in Las Vegas today, where the software’s performance on Dell
servers is being showcased in the Kalray Booth #1026.
The generative AI (GenAI) market is predicted to see 42%
compound annual growth rate (CAGR) across the next 10 years into a
$1.3 trillion space, from just $40 billion in 2022 (Bloomberg
Intelligence). Yet innovative AI constructs such as large language
models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and
applications including Smart Vision and GenAI, are challenging the
ability of IT systems to move data to and from their massive data
stores.
ENABLING GENAI AND RAG
Ngenea for AI adds data indexing and search capabilities, which
users can leverage to feed any data to Smart Vision, GenAI and RAG
applications effortlessly. The new offering enables AI customers to
fully harness their existing assets when deploying GenAI
applications, regardless of where the data is stored. These GenAI
and RAG capabilities simplify and automate what would otherwise be
a complex workflow from a data management aspect.
”Fast AI processing is mission-critical to our business of
detecting railcar anomalies before they lead to breakdowns or
derailments. With Ngenea deployed along with Dell Technologies
products, Duos achieved a 120x performance boost on our Railcar
Inspection Portal (RIP®) solution, and an 8x increase in inspection
accuracy. Working with Kalray helped us put railroads at the
forefront of innovation,” said Jeff Necciai, chief technology
officer of Duos Technologies.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE STORAGE TIER TO FEED GPUS
EFFORTLESSLY
The Ngenea for AI platform also incorporates a high-performance
storage tier for the most data-intensive AI workloads. The tier is
powered by a proven high-performance parallel file system that can
easily manage petabytes of data and billions of files – whether
data live on the edge, in the cloud, or on premises. This allows
customers and partners to maximize the value of their GPU
investment, without rip-and-replace deployments.
With Ngenea, AI innovators:
- Accelerate AI workflows by optimizing AI data pipelines
and enhancing the overall speed and efficiency of AI
operations.
- Boost the AI model performance by feeding data to GPUs
faster, allowing for quicker computations and accelerated
insights.
- Gain advanced data indexing capabilities that enable
Generative AI and RAG applications to deliver more refined search
functionalities, enabling more effective queries and a more
strategic utilization of AI models.
- Facilitate a controlled and optimized connection between
company data and a suite of third-party AI-powered tools, ensuring
seamless integration and data synergy.
Optional hardware acceleration via Kalray’s DPUs including the
TURBOCARD4 (TC4) allows parallel processing in an asynchronous way
for ultra-demanding workflows, via a complementary architecture to
GPUs.
“Even with the tremendous commitment that C-suite leaders are
making to AI, very few CIOs have the sizable budgets required to
deploy a new system solely for an AI rollout,” said Scott
Sinclair, practice director, infrastructure, and modernization, at
the Enterprise Strategy Group TM. “Innovative use cases
that enable enterprises to leverage their existing infrastructure
and still deploy novel AI applications address a sizable untapped
need in the market.”
AI TOOLKIT FOR EASY INTEGRATION
Ngenea for AI includes an AI Toolkit that Kalray partners can
use for easy integration of their applications with Ngenea. For
example, when integrating Ngenea with Perifery Vision AI, users can
intuitively search for historical content across a vast amount of
data on locations, types, and collections.
“Traditional data centers weren’t built for massive data sets
found in AI workloads – or to process these workloads rapidly and
efficiently,“ said Eric Baissus, CEO of Kalray. “Kalray’s
Ngenea for AI is the data acceleration platform for the AI age –
software that elevates performance on existing servers and storage
and provides toolkits that streamline application integration. With
our software, enterprises and service providers can feed GPUs
effortlessly - optimizing data movement and orchestration as the
foundation of their infrastructure - so that AI genuinely delivers
a competitive edge.“
The Ngenea for AI platform joins two other Ngenea editions that
streamline application integration for specific use cases: Ngenea
for HPC – providing scratch storage, or storage for temporary user
data, and Ngenea for Media & Entertainment – to accelerate
post-production workflows.
Ngenea for AI is available today from Dell, from Kalray and
select partners. For more information visit here.
