We are experiencing an increasing demand towards specialized AI servers. A system designed for AI needs to be able to handle seriously complex calculations, where the demand for picking the right components has even more importance. Though GPU’s are the most important for most deep learning workloads, using high-end CPU’s is important as well, since they need to be able to handle the machine learning workloads.

To avoid bottlenecks the server board needs to accommodate enough RAM slots to be able to handle the amount of data that can be processed. The GPU’s, which are essential for AI and machine learning algorithms since they excel at parallel processing and training deep neural networks. The data that is processed needs to be stored in high-performance storage devices. Though HDD’s can be used –SSDs are the more optimal choice when it comes to AI servers since they can write the data much faster. If all is configured well, the next bottleneck are the network adapters. Choosing high performance networking capabilities like InfiniBand networking ensures fast and reliable communication between your AI servers and other devices within your network.
