Vultr & SQream partner to enhance cloud AI capabilities

Thu, 29th Aug 2024

Vultr has announced that SQream has joined the Vultr Cloud Alliance, offering customers integrated solutions for cloud computing. This partnership aims to enhance the processing of large-scale analytics by combining Vultr's cloud compute capabilities with SQream's GPU-powered data processing technology.

The collaboration is designed to support various industries, including finance, telecom, healthcare, and manufacturing, by improving performance in computing and secure data processing while managing costs. The integration of Vultr's high-performance cloud compute, accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, with SQream's next-generation data processing technology aims to fast-track data analysis and machine learning projects for AI-driven enterprises.

"Our partnership with Vultr through its Cloud Alliance will revolutionise how enterprises approach data analysis and machine learning projects," said Ittai Bareket, Chief Alliance Officer of SQream. "With multi-layer parallel processing, comprehensive big data lifecycle support, and enhanced data processing capabilities, Vultr and SQream enable organisations to achieve faster time-to-insight, seamless scalability for complex and large-scale analytics, and unparalleled flexibility and control."

According to a report commissioned by Vultr from 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, 89% of organisations—ranging from those at the highest levels of AI maturity to those at more aspirational stages—expect to achieve advanced AI use within two years. However, technical infrastructure is listed as the second biggest challenge after governance in meeting these goals. The partnership aims to address these challenges by providing a powerful data analytics solution capable of processing large-scale, complex datasets efficiently.

This integrated solution allows organisations to perform complex queries and analytics at unprecedented speeds using advanced GPU acceleration. The aim is to reduce infrastructure costs, gain deeper insights for faster, data-driven decision-making, and ensure robust data ingestion and transformation. Additionally, the solution ensures secure and compliant data processing that meets industry standards and regulatory requirements worldwide, utilising Vultr's secure cloud infrastructure and SQream's compliance features.

Kevin Cochrane, Vultr's Chief Marketing Officer, commented on the partnership, stating, "Vultr continues to grow its Cloud Alliance to give customers easy access to all the best-in-class technology and tools they need to build and scale their cloud—and AI-native operations." He added that the Vultr Cloud Alliance allows organisations to customise their infrastructure stack with a composable approach, seamlessly assembling and scaling their modern cloud and AI operations on demand without worrying about vendor lock-in.

SQream joins other members of the Vultr Cloud Alliance, including Qdrant, Console Connect, DDN, and Run:ai. Each offers specialised capabilities that complement Vultr's cloud services. These partnerships aim to drive AI innovation and provide enterprises with the tools needed to deliver sophisticated AI solutions more rapidly.

Financial services, telecom, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing are among the industries that stand to benefit from this partnership. Some specific industry applications and use cases include time-sensitive data processing, cost-effective data management, high-performance computing, efficient data preparation, and secure and compliant data processing.

The Vultr-SQream partnership is part of Vultr's broader strategy to deliver industry innovations, including industry-specific cloud computing solutions, Sovereign Cloud and Private Cloud services, and Cloud Inference for serverless Inference-as-a-Service.
