Introducing ACTIVATE AI

Parallel Works recently unveiled ACTIVATE AI, a powerful new iteration of its ACTIVATE control plane, tailored specifically for scalable AI and ML workloads across hybrid and GPU-rich environments. Building upon the success of the original ACTIVATE platform, ACTIVATE AI introduces advanced features designed for seamless AI operations:
  • Simplified Kubernetes Integration: Effortlessly connect existing Kubernetes clusters—on-premises or in the cloud—with secure, role-based namespace access, automated resource quotas, and persistent sessions.
  • GPU Fractionalization & Juice Labs Integration: Dynamically partition GPUs and allocate GPU resources efficiently, improving utilization and reducing waste.
  • Comprehensive Resource Management: Track usage with granular resolution, enforce budgets automatically, and manage workloads intelligently to avoid overspending.
  • Hybrid and Flexible Orchestration: Run AI workloads seamlessly across Kubernetes, virtualized environments, GPU-as-a-Service providers, and traditional batch schedulers through a unified control plane.
  • Vendor-Agnostic Flexibility: Support for NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel AMX architectures ensures portability and flexibility across diverse hardware platforms.
According to industry analysts, ACTIVATE AI directly addresses the growing need for unified orchestration across diverse AI infrastructure environments, significantly reducing operational complexity.
