The AI Supercomputer will be powered by 25,000 highest-performance GPUs.
The Government of Telangana and Yotta, an AI leader, have announced a partnership to build a high-performing GPU-based AI Supercomputer. The first phase of the Supercomputer consisting of 4,000 high-performance GPUs and the first Data Centre within the campus, Yotta H1 will be operational within the next 24 months. When the AI Supercomputer is fully built, it will be powered by 25,000 GPUs.
A specialized GPU cloud infrastructure powered by approximately 4,000 NVIDIA H100/H200 GPUs (or equivalent and higher from NVIDIA and other chip manufacturers) will be housed on the AI Cloud Data Center campus. Over time, this infrastructure can be expanded to accommodate up to >25,000 GPUs, all of which will be connected with high-speed InfiniBand or equivalent ethernet networking.
A whole range of AI services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), will be made available via a self-service site. These services are designed to meet the requirements of government agencies, businesses, startups, research labs, and academic institutions.
Telangana Chief Minister, A Revanth Reddy said, “The establishment of this state-of-the-art AI Supercomputer and Data Center within our AI City will take Telangana to new heights, driving advancements in technology and creating unprecedented opportunities for growth.” He further noted that “This initiative reflects our vision of transforming Hyderabad into a premier AI destination, creating opportunities that extend beyond our borders and contribute to India’s emergence as a global AI powerhouse.”
Yotta will put in place a complete software orchestration layer and a marketplace that enables users to easily use GPU clusters for inferencing, fine-tuning, and training AI models. Through a flexible “pay as you use” model on an online self-service platform, the suite of products and services will help customers in constructing AI models and placing them for inferencing usage, assuring on-demand access to AI resources and services catered to their particular needs.
The data centre will use the latest environmentally friendly technologies and practices, such as free air cooling, liquid cooling systems, and power-efficient processors, to maximize Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). The data centre reportedly will achieve the bulk of its power from green sources. Yotta also aims to get the facility an IGBC Platinum grade, demonstrating its commitment to green building techniques.
On this partnership, Co-founder, MD and CEO of Yotta Data Services, Sunil Gupta said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with the Government of Telangana to help realize their vision of positioning Hyderabad as one of the top 25 AI innovation hubs globally. With our expertise in building AI Cloud platforms, combined with the robust support from the Telangana government, we are confident this initiative will accelerate AI development across India and pave the way for the country to become the AI hub of the world.”
He further added, “Under the visionary leadership of Chief Minister Hon’ble Sh Revanth Reddy, the state has adopted investor-friendly policies that are set to attract more investments and ensure Telangana’s rapid and inclusive growth.”
