In the transformative age of artificial intelligence, professional services firms are the architects of change, helping clients navigate the complexities of AI within multicloud environments. These firms are increasingly tasked with delivering scalable, secure, and flexible AI solutions that drive growth, operational efficiencies, and innovation.
While Intel is best known for world-class processors and semiconductors, it also stands at the forefront of AI, partnering with leading professional services firms and cloud service providers to meet these evolving demands.
Scalability: Build Enterprise-Ready AI Systems That Grow with Your Clients
The modern enterprise must adapt rapidly to technological and economic shifts, particularly in multicloud infrastructures. Intel’s AI solutions are designed with scalability at their core, ensuring that as businesses grow, their AI capabilities can seamlessly expand.
Through initiatives like OPEA and OneAPI, Intel fosters open ecosystem collaboration, enabling seamless integration across cloud platforms. This flexibility allows developers and architects to build solutions that work across various infrastructures without vendor lock-in, enabling them to choose the best tools for specific tasks and ensure that their code is portable across existing and future AI workloads. This approach not only helps clients tailor AI solutions to their unique business needs, but also maximizes total cost of ownership benefits.
Optimization: Streamline AI for Peak Performance
When deploying AI, success is measured by the tangible value it brings to clients. Professional services firms play a crucial role in ensuring AI solutions are integrated into multicloud infrastructures efficiently and that they deliver measurable outcomes. Intel’s AI offerings are designed to maximize efficiency and performance, empowering clients to harness the full potential of AI.
For example, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) faced the challenge of improving weather forecasts amid the escalating impacts of climate change. NOAA turned to Intel’s AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) solutions to develop its Rapid Refresh Forecast System within a multicloud environment. Leveraging Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, NOAA seamlessly integrated HPC workloads across multiple cloud service providers (CSP), including AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, through the Parallel Works middleware. This CSP-agnostic approach accelerated R&D, improved forecast accuracy, and enabled high-resolution environmental modeling—helping NOAA better prepare for future climate challenges.
Security: Safeguard AI in Multicloud with Zero Trust
In an era where data breaches and cyber threats are escalating, securing AI workloads in multicloud environments is critical. Intel’s approach to security, particularly Intel® Trust Authority, enables firms to adopt a Zero Trust architecture—ensuring that no user, device, or application is trusted by default, no matter where it operates.
Zero Trust operates on the principle of “never trust, always verify.” This framework helps professional services firms deliver AI solutions that not only perform but also ensure data privacy, integrity, and protection across all cloud environments. Intel’s Trust Authority is designed to build security from the ground up, offering encrypted data and workload protection that’s critical for industries like healthcare and finance, where sensitive data is involved.
In one case study, Zscaler, a leader in cloud security, deployed Intel’s Trust Authority to scale Zero Trust across multiple clouds using confidential computing. By integrating Intel® SGX (Software Guard Extensions) and Trust Authority, Zscaler ensured that data remained protected even during processing. This allowed Zscaler to provide end-to-end encrypted communications and secure workloads across various cloud environments without compromising performance. As a result, Zscaler could meet the stringent data privacy and security requirements of its enterprise clients, ensuring secure innovation and scalable AI growth.
