Hyperscale platforms make it easy to access services that would be expensive and complicated to build from scratch. Such access is critical in meeting the demands of today\u2019s fast-paced business world. <\/p>\n
Once upon a time, the main rationale for migrating to hyperscale public cloud platforms centered on getting out of the infrastructure maintenance business. IT departments no longer want to have to manage physical servers or face the scalability constraints that come with dependence on on-prem hardware. So, companies moved to the public cloud, where they can rent servers on demand.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still common to think of easy access to infrastructure as the main reason for cloud migration. In reality, though, the value of the hyperscale cloud platforms now extends far beyond Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS). That is why companies interested in maximizing innovation need to think more creatively about why and how to take full advantage of hyperscale solutions.<\/p>\n
Allow me to explain by discussing the role that hyperscale platforms play in modern IT, and how businesses can leverage today\u2019s hyperscale solutions to maximum effect.<\/p>\n

Its big selling point, as I mentioned, was allowing businesses to rent servers instead of having to manage physical hardware.<\/p>\n But over time, hyperscale clouds began offering additional types of solutions, such as:<\/p>\n Access to specialized types of hardware, such as GPUs.<\/p>\n Services for training and deploying AI models.<\/p>\n Solutions for tracking and securing Internet of Things (IoT) devices.<\/p>\n Services for building, deploying, and managing robots.<\/p>\n Access to quantum computers and simulators.<\/p>\n Data centers powered by alternative or renewable energy sources.<\/p>\n These are all examples of solutions that most businesses would struggle to implement if they had to build them from the ground up \u2013 and even if they could build them, managing them would be no mean feat. But because of hyperscale platforms, any organization around the world can easily leverage next-generation hardware and software solutions in a simple, on-demand manner.<\/p>\n See also: AI Workloads Need Purpose-built Infrastructure<\/a><\/p>\n I\u2019m not taking note of modern hyperscale solutions simply because I think they\u2019re cool. (Nor do I have a stake in the success of hyperscale platforms; I don\u2019t work for one.) Instead, I want to make the point that businesses seeking to innovate \u2013 and to keep up in an era when success hinges on the ability to access powerful, sophisticated IT solutions \u2013 need to embrace hyperscale solutions.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t just because hyperscale platforms make it easy to access services that would be expensive and complicated to build from scratch. It\u2019s also because, when used in tandem, modern hyperscale offerings make it possible to do some truly incredible things.<\/p>\n For example, imagine a company that wants to take advantage of robotics. Using a hyperscale platform, it could develop an AI model that guides the robots, then train the model with help from AI-optimized hardware<\/a> devices (like GPUs). It could also use the platform to communicate with and manage the robots once they are in operation. And it could integrate the robots easily with other, more traditional workloads that it hosts on the same platform.<\/p>\n Viewed from this perspective, hyperscale cloud is the key to unlocking a wide range of innovations across multiple IT disciplines, from robotics and AI to quantum computing<\/a>, to energy efficiency, and far beyond.<\/p>\n Hyperscale cloud solutions are also great news for companies that feel like they\u2019re falling behind in the ever-accelerating race to modernize IT. By taking strategic advantage of hyperscale, businesses can benefit from the latest, greatest IT innovations, without having to make massive upfront investments or acquire the expertise necessary to build complex solutions in-house.<\/p>\n
