Macnica (hereinafter referred to as Macnica) is a total service/solution provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT (Head office location: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Kazumasa Hara, capital: 11,194 million yen) In order to strengthen the provision system of "AI learning environment construction service" using NVIDIA GPUs provided by the company, CLAVIS Company Company has partnered with NVIDIA(R)'s elite partner G-Dep Advance Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as G-Dep Advance, head office: Tokyo). We will begin collaboration with Miyako Minato Ward, Representative Board Director: Masamichi Iino).
In response to the increasing demand for AI introduction in recent years, the number of companies working on AI development is increasing. In general, AI development is carried out in teams of multiple people, and in many cases the computational resources of GPU servers are shared among team members. In order to enable AI development in such a team system, it is necessary to build a complex development environment, manage shared computational resources, and manage deliverables such as learning models and learning results. The problem of not being able to devote enough time to AI development, which is the purpose, is becoming apparent.
In response to these challenges faced by AI developers, Macnica has developed and provided an "AI learning environment construction service" by leveraging its deep knowledge of hardware and software as a technology trading company over many years. By collaborating with G-DEP Advance, which has a wide sales channel for GPU servers and a rich track record in system integration, we are able to provide a one-stop service that includes optimal system proposals, verification, installation, and maintenance operations tailored to each customer's environment. Masu.
Features of the AI learning environment construction service
- The container management technology (container orchestration) enables teams to share GPU resources, and supports the addition of GPU resources in the future.
- Version management, change history management, and image sharing are possible by preparing a code management tool and an in-house dedicated container registry.
- It provides a developer-friendly UI and can be operated in a browser up to the submission of jobs for large-scale calculations, eliminating the need for specialized knowledge of containers and container orchestration.
- Developers can detect vulnerabilities in containers before they are used, continue monitoring while containers are running, and install the latest security software to detect suspicious behavior.
Masataka Osaki, Japan Representative and US Vice President of NVIDIA Japan, said:
"NVIDIA welcomes the strengthening of our AI development environment construction services through the collaboration between G-DEP Advance Co., Ltd. and Macnica, Inc. The NVIDIA DGX™ A100, which is the main foundation of this service, is the world's most advanced AI system equipped with eight of the latest NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPUs, and can accelerate a variety of workloads including data analytics, learning, and inference. This collaboration between our two companies will provide an environment where AI developers can focus on their original development, and we are confident that AI will help solve many more social issues in the future."
