07x08: Deploying AI Data Infrastructure in the Datacenter with Ariel Pisetzky of Taboola
2024-07-22
As practical applications of AI are rolled out, they are increasingly being deployed on-premises at scale. We are wrapping up this season of Utilizing Tech with Solidigm focused on AI Data Infrastructure by discussing practical deployment considerations with Ariel Pisetzky, VP of Information Technology and Cyber at Taboola in a discussion with Jeniece Wnorowski and Stephen Foskett. Companies like Taboola are built on data and have been deploying AI-driven applications for years. Generative AI brings new capabilities but is part of a spectrum of solutions that leverage data to produce results for customers. As applications mature, many companies are looking to bring them back on-premises, and this trend will likely accelerate given the cost of AI infrastructure as-a-service offerings. Owned infrastructure can also deliver beyond expected lifespans, representing a potential windfall for businesses that can continue to use deprerciated hardware. This is especially true of large flash drives, which have proven much more reliable than initially predicted. Although it is tempting to buy the biggest, fastest infrastructure to extend the lifespan of equipment, Pisetzky recommends focusing on equipment that is flexible and can be re-purposed in other ways in the future. Server storage is unique in that it is easy to upgrade and replace it in place, even hot-swapping drives, and large lives have a very long lifespan.
