Data privacy key for companies seeking on-premises AI solutions

“Value is an enormous driver, however value shouldn’t be the one driver,” mentioned Manoj Leelanivas (pictured, third from proper), chief working officer of Juniper. “When you take a look at [it] geopolitically internationally [and] what’s taking place, knowledge privateness is an enormous factor. Individuals need to shield their area, their particular person distinctive secret sauce as a lot as attainable, so there may be that, and the massive factor is sovereignty … Do you need to rely upon a hyperscaler, which is from a rustic which isn’t very pleasant to you? There’s a variety of momentum occurring with each nation, each sovereign nation making an attempt to construct their very own secret sauce as a result of that is the brand new arms race, AI is the brand new race.”

Leelanivas and Juniper executives, Raj Yavatkar (proper), chief know-how officer, Praveen Jain (third from left), senior vice chairman and normal supervisor of AI clusters and cloud prepared knowledge middle, and AE Natarajan (second from proper), govt vice chairman and chief improvement Officer, spoke with theCUBE Analysis’s John Furrier (left) and Bob Laliberte (second from left) on the Seize the AI Moment event, throughout an unique broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They mentioned cloud fatigue and the way the brand new “arms race” is creating a necessity for best-of-breed options in knowledge privateness. (* Disclosure beneath.)

Corporations search knowledge privateness, knowledge sovereignty

On-prem facilities could also be the perfect answer for corporations trying to host knowledge inside their area at a decrease expense, in keeping with Natajaran and Leelanivas. The latter estimates that over a interval of three years doing on-prem prices half as a lot as cloud.

“Persons are extraordinarily paranoid and anxious about knowledge privateness, so they’re methods and means to truly try this,” Natajaran mentioned. “We see folks construct out knowledge facilities on-prem with AI clusters for not simply studying, but additionally for inference. Inference is one thing that must be very, very near the place the person and the sting is.”

Juniper appears to supply the speediest community reference to a horizontal structure. Vertical integration could be dearer, Yavatkar suggests, whereas a horizontal one permits Juniper to make use of probably the most superior know-how at each layer.

“You’ve a vertically built-in structure, you would argue it supplies the perfect answer,” mentioned Yavatkar. “However with the introduction of open ecosystem the place you begin offering elements from completely different gamers and nonetheless integrating them to supply the perfect options, creating [a] aggressive atmosphere for a number of locations to do this results in a greater trade consequence …  The open ecosystem mannequin will permit us to ship better of breed options at decrease value.”
