About

Building the Best Data Infrastructure Stack for the New Era of Computing. The compute infrastructure is rapidly transforming from CPU-centric (general purpose computing) to GPU-centric (accelerated computing). The effects are already pronounced for the newer workloads – Foundation Model Training, SFT, RLHF, Inferencing, Reasoning, Recommender engines, Search applications amongst others. The mad rush to stay relevant in the consumer space is clearly visible in the levels of investments being done by companies such as Open AI, X, Meta, Oracle, MS, AWS and Google. But make no mistake, the enterprise workloads supporting most of the modern society from media to medicine, defense to design, finance to fashion are all adopting, or adapting to the new computing architecture in their own ways. This raises a question – how does this new computing paradigm affect data infrastructure. In a nutshell, CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) requires a SUDA. The new era of computing demands a new ABCD from the underlying data infrastructure - Architecture that can scale, Bridging data no matter where (on-prem, cloud, edge), Compliance providing confidence, and Data services that deliver. Honored and privileged to be part of a team that gets data infra like no other!
