In a time where AI development is synonymous with sky-high expenses, Nodeshift, a San Francisco based startup, is turning heads with its revolutionary cloud-based solutions. By offering a global cloud network for training and executing AI models at a fraction of the cost compared to industry giants like Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure, Nodeshift is democratizing AI development.

Nodeshift's participation in the Intel® Liftoff Program is a game-changer. This strategic collaboration grants Nodeshift unfettered access to cutting-edge hardware and software, ensuring continuous enhancement of their cloud services.

"The close collaboration with the Intel® Liftoff Program has significantly improved and accelerated our own development and success in the market." - Mihai Mărcuță, Nodeshift Co-founder.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, the financial burden of developing and training AI applications in the cloud can be overwhelming. High costs from major providers often push budgets to their limits, stifling innovation. Nodeshift addresses this challenge head-on, delivering savings up to 80% over well-known cloud services from Google, AWS, and Azure.

 

How Nodeshift Slashes Costs 

 

The secret to Nodeshift’s cost efficiency lies in its innovative use of existing, underutilized computing and storage capacities. Instead of constructing their own data centers, Nodeshift utilizes a network of regionally distributed virtual machines, sourced from both large telecommunications companies and smaller firms. This model not only reduces costs but also enhances scalability and flexibility. Security and data protection are paramount at Nodeshift. 

Adhering to stringent regulations such as GDPR, and holding SOC 2 certification, Nodeshift ensures top-tier data security and privacy.
