On-premises AI approaches: The advantages of a turnkey solution, HPE Private ...Principled Technologies

In this paper, we have examined the considerations around public cloud versus on-premises for AI, and then contrasted three on-premises approaches available to buyers today: build-your-own, reference architecture + services, and turnkey. On-premises solutions are a strong option worth considering for deploying your AI workloads, especially if you want complete control over sensitive data. Compared to the public cloud, an on-premises solution grants greater control over data protection and location, with the potential to increase the security and the performance of your AI applications. Many organizations, however, also want to give their data services teams a more complete, cloud-like experience while maintaining this security and control. While a validated reference architecture + services approach such as Dell AI Factory simplifies deployment by offering validated components, it leaves management, integration, and orchestration to the customer, that company’s services group, or a third party. In contrast, the turnkey HPE Private Cloud AI provides a pre-validated stack with hardware and AI toolsets, integrated data services software, and a cloud delivery model for administrators, data engineers, and data scientists—all of which lets organizations hit the ground running. It combines ease of procurement, setup, and management with a rich selection of out-of-box AI software and data tools, while providing the control and security of an on-premises deployment. For organizations seeking an on-premise AI implementation that comes with a built-in private-cloud experience, HPE Private Cloud AI is a stronger choice than build-your-own or reference architecture + services solutions.

Moving from 5-year-old Supermicro Ultra DP servers to a new Supermicro H14 Hyper DP server featuring AMD EPYC 9475F processors can help organizations reduce their 5-year TCO by getting stronger database performance in a smaller footprint Conclusion Continuing to run your transactional database workloads on five-year-old servers is costing you more than you think. By refreshing your currently deployed five-year-old servers, you could support more user demand as your business grows and reap all the benefits of moving to newer technology, including consolidation. In our database performance comparison and related TCO calculations, we found that consolidating your older Supermicro Ultra DP servers onto fewer Supermicro H14 Hyper DP servers with AMD EPYC 9475F processors could save your organization as much as $2.8 million—a 61.8 percent reduction in costs—over five years. The H14 Hyper DP did 3.78 times the work of the legacy server, which means it would take four legacy servers to reach the performance of the new H14 Hyper DP, allowing your business to consolidate servers and save in licensing, power, rack space, and maintenance costs. As our results show, refreshing your legacy hardware with Supermicro H14 Hyper DP servers with AMD EPYC 9475F processors can keep your organization on the path to success by helping you make the most of your IT budget and giving you more resources to support AI infrastructure or other demanding IT projects.

Run your in-house AI chatbot on an AMD EPYC 9534 processor-powered Dell Power...Principled Technologies

Testing revealed that this server can be a great AI entry point for small organizations or departments, while upgrading to a CPU + GPU configuration could help them scale to support more users Conclusion GenAI is here to stay: 67 percent of business leaders in one Deloitte survey said that their organizations planned to invest further in GenAI initiatives,10 and GenAI chatbots are an interesting possibility for companies of all sizes. While larger companies with dozens or hundreds of users probably will opt for solutions involving GPUs, small and medium businesses and groups within larger organizations can enjoy the benefits of GenAI using a server with just a CPU—while retaining the option of upgrading to a GPU when and if the need arises. To demonstrate this, we tested two configurations of single-socket Dell PowerEdge R6615 servers for an in-house GenAI chatbot use case. The configuration with only a 64-core AMD EPYC 9534 processor supported nine simultaneous users with a response time threshold of 5 seconds and a response time threshold percentage of 95. When we added an NVIDIA L4 GPU, this server was able to support 23 simultaneous users. (Because a typical user is likely to engage with the chatbot for only part of their workday, these configurations are likely to support even larger numbers of effective users.) These results demonstrate that the Dell PowerEdge R6615 server powered by a 64-core AMD EPYC 9534 processor is a strong choice for small and medium organizations and departments in enterprises who want to develop in-house GenAI chatbots at an affordable price point. When the number of likely simultaneous users is in the single digits, the CPU-only configuration of this server provides a good user experience. As the number of users grows, companies can easily scale the server’s capabilities by adding a GPU and support more than twice as many users.
