Deloitte announces the launch of AI Factory as a Service, a scalable, one-stop shop suite of Generative AI capabilities built on the NVIDIA AI platform, including NVIDIA AI Enterprise software, NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints, accelerated computing and leveraging Oracle’s enterprise AI technology. Amid a fast-paced and turbulent market, AI Factory as a Service provides a holistic multi-disciplinary approach that integrates Deloitte’s deep data science, model design and industry knowledge with the NVIDIA AI platform to enable a robust ecosystem of technology providers to deliver customized GenAI workflows.
“As organizations adjust to the breakneck pace of industry change, we’ve heard from leaders who are eager and ready to upgrade their workflows – but just don’t know where to start,” said Nitin Mittal, global AI leader and principal, Deloitte LLP. “From strategy and design to deployment and optimization, AI Factory as a Service was built to help organizations accomplish faster time to value. And with integrations from NVIDIA and Oracle, we’re enabling companies in any industry to design their optimal mix of capabilities for customized, end-to-end solutions.”
By providing AI software and custom use cases, AI Factory as a Service can offer faster time to market with workload management and monitoring tools built in to help optimize workforces amid the AI talent shortage. To bring GenAI to market quickly, NVIDIA NIM microservices and NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure are deployable across OCI Supercluster and OCI Compute, resulting in ultra-low latency, real-time large language model (LLM) interference and high-performance storage. More than just optimized infrastructure, AI Factory as a Service includes data and model governance, meaning organizations can modernize with confidence, knowing deployments are strengthened by Deloitte’s Trustworthy AI™ framework.
“Across industries, businesses are eager to operationalize Generative AI with tools that improve productivity and enhance customer service,” said Justin Boitano, vice president, AI Software Products, NVIDIA. “Enterprises can use Deloitte AI Factory as a Service to deploy the NVIDIA NIM Agent Blueprints catalog of reference AI workflows, along with NVIDIA NIM microservices and the NVIDIA NeMo framework — all included in the NVIDIA AI Enterprise platform — to accelerate core Generative AI applications.”
Oracle offers a comprehensive AI platform that includes the end-to-end NVIDIA AI stack, encompassing IaaS, PaaS and database services, which underpin its robust SaaS AI capabilities. This unified approach empowers enterprises to build and deploy AI-powered applications effectively. By providing a full-stack solution, Oracle mitigates the need for disparate systems and reduces operational complexity, allowing customers to address a wide range of AI use cases, from developing custom applications to enhancing existing software with AI capabilities. This flexibility allows businesses to innovate and adapt to evolving market demands.
“By integrating the NVIDIA AI platform of accelerated infrastructure and AI software such as NIM microservices, NeMo framework and NIM Agent Blueprints, with Oracle’s enterprise-grade AI solutions, Deloitte’s AI Factory as a Service delivers flexibility, control and scalability. The offering, deployable across a range of cloud environments, including OCI Dedicated Region, Oracle Alloy, Oracle Sovereign Cloud and Oracle Government Cloud, empowers businesses to maximize their AI investments while safeguarding sensitive data,” said Greg Pavlik, executive vice president, AI and data management services, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.
