Summary• AI demands purpose-built infrastructure

• AC922 remains the best platform for deep learning and training AI models

• Using those models in production (is called Inferencing) is not as GPU intensive

• The IC922 server adds a cost efficient inference platform - on-prem or OpenShift Cloud

• Only IBM delivers an end-to-end AI solution with optimized hardware and software to meet all your business needs
