“Making AI more accessible and efficient by scaling through co-located edge datacenters” is the M.O. of Untether AI.

But what is Untether AI, exactly?

Untether AI provides energy-centric AI inference acceleration from the edge to the cloud, supporting any type of neural network model. With its At-Memory compute architecture, Untether AI has solved the data movement bottleneck that costs energy and performance in traditional CPUs and GPUs. This has resulted in high-performance, low-latency neural network inference acceleration without sacrificing accuracy.

To take a leap forward with its mission, Untether AI announced a partnership with Vertical Data. Vertical Data is renowned in the edge computing space because it offers advanced infrastructure and services that bring powerful computing closer to data sources. By doing this, they help businesses improve performance, reduce delays and increase efficiency. Vertical Data also enables organizations to run AI models, optimize data transfer and ensure secure data processing at the edge.

The collaboration between Untether AI and Vertical Data aims to advance modular and portable data center solutions, which enables faster, more secure and highly efficient AI-driven computing. Untether AI’s AI inference accelerators, including the high-performing speedAI240 Slim accelerator card, will now be integrated with Vertical Data’s flexible infrastructure.

“With Vertical Data’s modular solutions and our accelerators, we’re setting the stage for a new generation of portable data centers that can unlock the true potential of AI-driven computing,” said Bob Beachler, Vice President of Product at Untether AI.

The collaboration serves industries that demand optimized bandwidth usage and real-time AI processing, such as smart cities, telecommunication and edge computing environments. By working together, Untether AI and Vertical Data will bring high-performance, low-latency AI processing closer to where critical data is produced, reducing latency and enhancing real-time decision-making capabilities.

“Collaborating with Untether AI marks a significant milestone in our mission to reshape the on-premises and co-located edge computing landscape,” said Hamid Djam, Head of Technology at Vertical Data. “This partnership enables us to deliver state-of-the-art solutions that empower businesses to maximize the potential of their data through faster processing and improved efficiency.”
