If you’re building large-scale AI, you’re already multi-cloud by choice (to avoid lock-in) or by necessity (to access scarce GPU capacity). Teams frequently chase capacity bursts, “we need 1,000 GPUs for eight weeks,” across whichever regions or providers can deliver. What slows you down isn’t GPUs, it’s data. Simply accessing the data needed to train, deploy, and serve AI models at the speed and scale required – wherever AI workloads and GPUs are deployed – is in fact not simple at all. In this article, learn how Alluxio brings Simplicity, Speed, and Scale to Multi-GPU Cloud deployments.
Alluxio's strong Q2 featured Enterprise AI 3.7 launch with sub-millisecond latency (45× faster than S3 Standard), 50%+ customer growth including Salesforce and Geely, and MLPerf Storage v2.0 results showing 99%+ GPU utilization, positioning the company as a leader in maximizing AI infrastructure ROI.
