As the AI revolution continues to accelerate, the explosive growth of new AI-driven products and services is making it possible for organizations in all types of industries to access transformative benefits like unprecedented levels of automation, bottom-line-boosting efficiencies, and powerful data-driven analysis, among others. But the path from seeing the potential of AI to enjoying a successful implementation can involve months of scoping, procurement, and setup—followed by the challenges of ongoing, technically complex maintenance. In addition, many AI services operate within a public cloud model, which can raise concerns about data security and compliance. For some businesses, these challenges can seem overwhelming—seemingly putting the game-changing potential of AI out of reach. There are effective ways to address these challenges, however. Turnkey private cloud deployments are an option that may help decision-makers who need help with speeding up and simplifying their AI journey. 

In a recent research paper, we examined the factors that businesses need to consider when weighing the potential pros and cons of choosing a public or on-premises cloud platform for AI. We then focused on the details of on-premises solutions and contrasted three currently available on-premises approaches: build-your-own, reference architecture plus services, and turnkey. With each approach, we contrasted two competing solutions: a turnkey approach with HPE Private Cloud AI and a reference architecture plus services approach with Dell AI Factory and NVIDIA. 

We found that on-premises solutions are a strong option for deploying AI workloads. Among the three on-premises approaches we studied, the turnkey solution from HPE Private Cloud AI offered an excellent combination of simplified procurement, setup, and management—along with a range of pre-installed, feature-rich AI software and data tools. For organizations that want to quickly deploy an on-premises AI implementation with a ready-to-go private-cloud experience, HPE Private Cloud AI is a strong choice.
