AI healthcare startups are pioneering thousands of applications and devices to build next-generation smart hospitals. The sheer number of applications and the pace of innovation bring new challenges to how these applications get deployed and where they live.
The cloud revolution built and delivered the infrastructure for AI and applications to be instantaneously deployed and accessed by millions of users. As the healthcare industry expands to use thousands of AI applications, it’s looking for a cloud-like experience inside the hospital.
To address critical industry challenges like securing patient data and delivering real-time applications, AI developers use NVIDIA NGC to bring solutions to market that are both on premises and cloud-ready, built atop an edge computing platform to scale to more customers and get to market faster.
Ease AI Deployment at the Edge Using Cloud-Native Infrastructure
NGC, a hub for GPU-accelerated software, offers containerized applications and AI frameworks designed to run on cloud-native Kubernetes clusters optimized for NVIDIA GPU acceleration.
Containerization is an industry-standard design pattern for application deployments, and with Kubernetes, it provides a consistent platform for deployment across edge, data center, cloud and hybrid environments.
The containers and Helm charts from NGC enable IT managers to quickly, easily and consistently deploy applications on premises or on remote systems centrally, giving users faster access to run their applications and workloads.
NGC containerized applications are tested and optimized to run on NVIDIA EGX, a software stack designed to run on a broad range of EGX systems, from Jetson-powered devices to NGC-Ready for Edge validated servers. System administrators can easily set up a fleet of edge servers remotely and securely, meeting hospitals’ needs for data security and real-time intelligence.
ADLINK, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Lenovo, QCT and Supermicro are among the dozens of manufacturers worldwide providing EGX systems.
