A revolutionary AI testing facility has opened in Stockport, leveraging cutting-edge Nvidia technology.
- Vespertec’s facility is the first in Europe to incorporate Nvidia’s grace hopper architecture.
- The lab provides a remote-access Test Drive Programme for developers to evaluate AI technologies.
- Vespertec aims to simplify the adoption of new technologies with this initiative.
- The UK government has recognized data centres as critical national infrastructure.
A new artificial intelligence facility has been launched in Stockport, integrating advanced Nvidia technology. This site is poised to revolutionise AI development and testing within the region.
Notably, Vespertec’s facility is the inaugural European site featuring Nvidia’s grace hopper architecture and the SN5600 800GB/s ethernet switch. This state-of-the-art setup enables exquisite processing capabilities, offering developers a rare chance to explore and benchmark technologies that will drive the future of AI.
Crucially, the laboratory introduces Vespertec’s ‘Test Drive Programme’, providing remote access for developers to thoroughly evaluate relevant AI technologies. This initiative allows customers to perform rigorous tests from any location, benchmarking solutions before purchasing and offering valuable support post-implementation. This reflects Vespertec’s recognition of the complexities involved in embracing new technological solutions.
“We understand the complexities involved in adopting the latest solutions, which is why we’ve created this resource,” remarked Allan Kaye, Vespertech co-founder and director. His statement underlines Vespertec’s commitment to facilitating seamless transitions to advanced technologies through their pioneering offerings.
The Stockport-based Vesper Technologies, established in 2014, specializes in the design and development of data centre infrastructure. Their efforts align with the recent designation by the UK government of data centres as critical national infrastructure, highlighting the strategic importance of such technological hubs.
Britain is increasingly attracting substantial investments in data infrastructure from tech giants including Microsoft and Google, both of which are planning to establish new sites in the UK. This momentum is further underpinned by strides from companies like Vespertec, reinforcing the UK’s position as a forward-thinking leader in technological infrastructure.
The establishment of Vespertec’s AI lab marks a significant step in advancing the UK’s data infrastructure capabilities.
