I support heads of Enterprise I&O and cover the general topic of “AI compute optimization” across multiple AI infrastructure layers. At the very bottom is the Facility and Energy layer including power and cooling; above that is the Compute Hardware layer including GPUs, custom ASICs, High Bandwidth Memory (HBM), high-speed interconnects, and CPUs; then is the System Software layer including compilers, libraries, memory management, etc., and the Service Orchestration layer including schedulers, inference engines, training frameworks. I do not generally cover topics above these layers regarding data and LLM models, devops, or AI services and applications.
I help clients to address questions like:
What are the key considerations to decide the best deployment environment for enterprise AI workloads?
How to optimize existing on-premises data centers to accommodate AI workloads?
What are the infrastructural planning and investment implications of continuous AI stack optimizations and model improvement?
Strategic planning on data center competitive and collaboration strategy, custom silicon/hardware roadmap, software and application commercialization, product-market fit, and Go-To-Market / pricing strategy.
Market sensing on enterprise IT spending trend, workload deployment patterns, AI security software adoption and utilization behaviors, technology competitive landscape, ecosystem development/partnership trend, and AI software developer requirements and preferences.
