Harnessing the power of AI with the Stratus ztC Endurance 9110 compute platform It’s time to put the critical data your organization has amassed to good use. AI solutions can quickly analyze large amounts of data to deliver important insights in real time and help organizations further their business goals. Image classification is a branch of AI that CPU-based inference solutions are primed to handle.

Manufacturers seeking a quick, automated method to weed out subpar products from making it to market, venues using video surveillance with facial recognition to stop unwanted visitors from entering, and online retailers offering suggestions based on previous clicks can all benefit from an AI image classification solution that analyzes image data fast.

The Stratus ztC Endurance 9110 provides a proven platform for CPU-based AI inference that offers continuous availability and ensures data integrity for mission-critical applications running at the edge, operations center, and data center.

High throughput + low latency = quick AI insights A successful AI implementation requires all the standard characteristics of a high-performing modern server infrastructure— offering high availability, manageability, and serviceability—plus the ability to simultaneously deliver new levels of performance for demanding image classification workloads.

Recent studies showcased strong AI image classification performance of the Stratus ztC Endurance 9110 running a ResNet-50 Workload. Across three precision levels to account for the differing accuracy needs of various use cases—for example, medical imaging comparisons require high precision for the greatest accuracy, while retail suggestions can be less exact— the Stratus ztC Endurance 9110 delivered high throughput, processing a large number of images per second to deliver fast insights. Stratus ztC Endurance’s ability to analyze significant amounts of data while offering low latencies, or wait times, delivers high-performance CPU-based AI inference to give organizations quick AI insights from their data.
