Parallel Works launches ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem

Parallel Works recently introduced its ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem, a dynamic and adaptable AI network designed to revolutionise AI infrastructure by streamlining operations and supporting future-ready AI at scale. As the next-gen control plane for AI infrastructure, ACTIVATE AI delivers unified access to neocloud platforms and orchestration tools, offering vendor-neutral, flexible deployment across hybrid computing setups.

"The global surge in AI adoption – from large language models to domain-specific applications – is driving demand for more than just GPU access. Organisations need flexible, integrated ecosystems to build, train and deploy AI at scale," noted Matthew Shaxted, CEO of Parallel Works. He emphasised the need for more adaptive infrastructures, stating, "Traditional infrastructure is too rigid, and managing fragmented tools across clouds slows innovation. Our Partner Ecosystem, combined with ACTIVATE AI, provides unified access to specialised compute – enabling an open, scalable AI ecosystem that puts control back in the hands of the user."

The ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem Program gives companies with vendor-neutral, flexible deployment options across hybrid compute environment, which includes

• Unified Access to Specialised Compute: Users can train large language models (LLMs), deploy real-time inference, and access varied GPU types without vendor restriction.
• Orchestration Across the AI Stack: By minimising infrastructure complexities, users can dedicate more time to model development instead of DevOps. This is achieved through the platform's integration with container-based workflows like Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, and data tools.
• Multi-Cloud and Hybrid Freedom: Vendor-neutral support allows organisations to manoeuvrer AI workloads across environments, adapting to changing needs.
• Resource Optimisation and Collaboration: The ACTIVATE AI ecosystem enhances intelligent workload placement and shared resource management.
• Ecosystem-Driven Innovation: Users can access premier AI tools, platforms, and services, ensuring integration with leading AI innovations without being limited to fixed solutions.

Under the ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem Program, Paralleled Works expands access to cutting-edge GPU capabilities via neoclouds and aggregators. It offers secure access to Kubernetes environments with GPU pooling and vendor-neutral distributed object storage. Channel partners can seamlessly integrate the ACTIVATE AI control plane for hybrid cloud environments, extending distributed storage options.

The partner ecosystem includes companies like Vultr, Voltage Park and Canopy Wave as GPU-as-a-Service Partners with QLAD and Juice as Technology Partners. Further, VALDI, GPU Trader, Shadeform, Storj, Pier Group, Pinnacle Group and Core Microsystems, Inc as partners across a range of ecosystem related sectors.

With its scalable, vendor-neutral AI and HPC solutions, Parallel Works accelerates AI initiatives, driving cloud-based operational efficiencies. By optimising workflows and enhancing technological breakthroughs, businesses can stay competitive and spur innovation. The ACTIVATE AI Partner Ecosystem Program collaborates with industry leaders, including AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and storage providers like Hammerspace, to provide premier infrastructure solutions and seamless client integration.
