Drut Technologies launches GPU server software in Nashua, Sept 2024
- Drut Technologies launched the DX 3.0 software system, which enhances GPU server capabilities for AI and ML applications.
- The software allows for GPU isolation and flexible resource groupings, optimizing resource allocation and reducing waste.
- This release is seen as a significant advancement in cost-effective resource utilization, enabling businesses to harness AI infrastructure affordably.
On September 9, 2024, Drut Technologies unveiled its DX 3.0 advanced software system in Nashua, New Hampshire, aimed at enhancing GPU server capabilities in data centers. This innovative software introduces virtual disaggregation, allowing for more efficient deployment and configuration of GPUs tailored for complex enterprise AI and machine learning applications. By enabling the division of servers with excess GPUs into smaller, dedicated machines, organizations can optimize resource allocation and reduce waste. The DX 3.0 system integrates seamlessly with both new and existing server infrastructures, facilitating rapid AI model deployment. It offers features such as GPU isolation, which allows users to run distinct workloads on multi-GPU servers, and flexible resource groupings that enable the dynamic reallocation of GPUs between different workloads throughout the day and night. This adaptability ensures that GPUs are not underutilized during off-peak hours. Drut Technologies' CEO, William Koss, emphasized the significance of this release, stating that it represents a major advancement in cost-effective resource utilization within modern data centers. The software's ability to interconnect virtual GPU pods (vPODs) over existing data center fabrics, along with the option of using Drut's photonic fabric, further enhances its appeal by potentially reducing job run times. Industry experts, including Jai Kakkar from SAN Data Systems and Cosimo Gianfreda from E4 Engineering, have praised the DX 3.0 solution for its scalability and affordability, highlighting its potential to meet the growing demand for AI capabilities outside of public cloud environments. This launch positions Drut Technologies as a key player in the evolving landscape of GPU virtualization and data center solutions.
