Embracing GenAI Solutions in the Era of Hybrid Multi-cloud* By: Mohammad Wahba, Director, Systems Engineering, Nutanix

In the rapidly evolving technological landscape the excitement around generative AI (GenAI) solutions is obvious and highly evident. Customers worldwide, including government entities, FSI & mega enterprises in Saudi Arabia, are eager to harness the transformative potential of GenAI. However, along with all the excitement and enthusiasm, comes a significant challenge that persists and should be considered

Many organizations are unsure where to begin. The complexity of implementing GenAI solutions can result in complex pathways that can get organizations dragged into complex infrastructures or Large language models (LLMs). Moreover, organizations can find it challenging when identifying a business use case that is relevant and feasible with GenAI common practices. The route to GenAI-empowered business service should always start with a validated use case that is linked to the main business pain/ challenge, and the objective that can be only delivered via GenAI practices

Furthermore, given the rapid acceleration in cloud adoption, it’s crucial to select a hybrid multi-cloud platform that enables the scalable deployment of GenAI solutions across diverse cloud environments within an augmented enterprise setting. This ensures flexibility and orchestration across various cloud destinations, guaranteeing freedom from vendor lock-in

With that said, Nutanix has been always been the leader in the enterprise grade cloud platform space, ever since the company started its HCI solutions in 2009 that was built on true software-defined architectures free of any lock-in. With the company’s pioneering spirit of innovation, its hybrid multi-cloud platform allows organizations to run any app, any data anywhere, from edge computing, on-prem data centers and all the way up to any managed service provider or partnering hyperscalers like AWS and Azure

With Nutanix’s unique offering in GenAI, it announced two waves of GPT-in-a-Box, where it delivers a secure, full-stack enterprise AI platform built on web-scale data services, to deploy an organization’s Large Language Models (LLMs), ML Operations (MLOps), and generative AI (GenAI) apps anywhere – from core to edge to cloud

Nutanix’s GenAI platform in its new release “GPT-in-a-Box 2.0” solution, developed in collaboration with Nvidia and Hugging Face, offers an end-to-end approach to demystify and streamline GenAI adoption. It features simplified and guided GenAI use case solution deployment in various industries including finance, healthcare and public sector, which ensures an effective and relevant deployment. Standardized deployment assures a seamless experience from Edge to Cloud of an organization’s GenAI-powered use cases, resulting in a speedy Time To Value (TTV) to the organization. Partnering with Nvidia and Hugging Face provides instant GenAI model integration and turnkey API management. The solution also eliminates any need for special hardware architecture to assure no hardware lock-in

In conclusion, with Nutanix, organizations in Saudi can stay ahead of the curve with a secure, full-stack platform to run GenAI data and apps anywhere and allows them to deploy real use cases and solutions built on standard hardware without the need for a special architecture
