  • ai has announced the launch of a new product that simplifies the deployment of AI models trained in one environment across multiple resource-constrained edge endpoints.
  • Automated observability and drift detection are among the benefits offered to users, enabling them to detect any inaccuracies in their models’ responses or predictions.

Wallaroo.ai announced a partnership with VMware Inc. to develop a unified edge machine learning and artificial intelligence deployment and operations platform for communications service providers.

Wallaroo.ai has developed a unified platform enabling seamless deployment, monitoring, and enhancement of machine learning in production on any cloud, on-premises, or network edge. In a recent announcement, the company revealed its partnership with VMware to assist CSPs in enhancing their revenue generation from networks. The collaboration aims to provide scalable machine learning at the edge to support CSPs.

The new solution has been introduced to address the challenge of managing edge machine learning. It simplifies deployment, improves inference performance, and allows model optimization at 5G edge locations and dispersed networks. In a recent development, CSPs are set to reap the benefits of a centralized operations center that will enable them to oversee, regulate and expand their edge machine learning implementations from a single location.

Wallaroo.ai has announced the launch of a new product that simplifies the deployment of AI models trained in one environment across multiple resource-constrained edge endpoints. The product also provides tools to test and optimize these models in production continuously. Automated observability and drift detection are among the benefits offered to users, enabling them to detect any inaccuracies in their models’ responses or predictions. The platform integrates well-known machine learning development environments, including Databricks, and cloud platforms like Microsoft Azure.

According to Vid Jain, Co-founder, and CEO of Wallaroo.ai, CSPs specifically seek assistance deploying machine learning models for tasks like network health monitoring, network optimization, predictive maintenance, and security. He claims that doing so is challenging due to the models’ many requirements, including the need for extremely effective computing at the edge.

Currently, low-powered compute resources, low memory, and low latency are limitations of most edge locations. Additionally, CSPs require a method of monitoring those endpoints and the capacity to deploy the models at numerous edge endpoints simultaneously.

Jain said, “We offer CSPs a highly efficient, trust-based inference server that is ideally suited for fast edge inferencing, together with a single unified operations center. We are also working on integrating orchestration software such as VMware that allows for monitoring, updating and management of all the edge locations running AI. The Wallaroo.AI server and models can be deployed into telcos’ 5G infrastructure and bring back any monitoring data to a central hub.”

According to Stephen Spellicy, Vice President of service provider marketing, enablement, and business development at VMware, the partnership’s goal is to make it simpler for telecommunications companies to use machine learning in distributed environments. He listed several applications for machine learning at the edge, such as improving distributed network security and performance and giving customers and businesses low-latency services.

According to Wallaroo.ai, its platform will be able to operate across multiple clouds, radio access networks, and edge environments, which the company believes will be the primary components of a future, low-latency, and highly distributed internet.
