And , as this service is based on a consumption-driven , pay-as-you-go approach , it will be more cost-effective and accessible than investing in an on-premise supercomputer .
Option # 2 : Get an OEM Technology Partner
Why hire one person or a few people when you can have an entire team at your service ? Especially when that team boasts highlytrained professionals with years of experience in AI , original manufacturer equipment ( OEM ) solutions , and global logistics under their belt .
Benefits of having an OEM technology partner
• Increased focus on product and business development
By outsourcing the mundane everyday tasks to your OEM partner — from financial planning and administrative duties to product roadmapping and logistical support — you will have more time for your core competencies . This includes expanding your business and coming up with products and solutions to meet pressing industry needs .
• The ability to plug technology gaps
Most OEMs don ’ t have data scientists on their product teams . An OEM partner can help define each solution architecture , configure software , and make it all accessible to the end customer . This is of particular importance given that digitization and digital transformation are gaining pace across industries . A good technology partner will also be able to provide cybersecurity solutions to ensure that your , and your customers ’, data remain protected and private .
• Access high-quality solutions and services
As an OEM , you want to be able to provide your customers with best-in-class media solutions . To achieve this , you need to use superior technology components and modules . Having a qualified OEM partner will give you access to certified and proven technological parts , such as long-life servers .
• Faster time-to-market
These days , bringing a solution to market faster than your competitors can is crucial to company success . An OEM partner will streamline project flow from the get go . Not only will your company be able to draw on that partner ’ s solutions to advance your new product ( s ), but you can also avoid less than ideal product decisions and overly complex development processes . At the end of the day , you will be able to bring your projects to fruition more rapidly than before .

Can AI be ethical ? AI has been the focus of some critical backlash of late , notably with the writers ’ strike in Hollywood earlier this year . This controversy begs the question if AI can be used without negatively impacting people ’ s lives and jobs .
It can be , but this requires careful thought , planning , and regulation . Some common criticisms of AI are :
• AI is power-hungry and growing amounts of energy are being needed to run AI applications , which is an environmental concern .
• As AI works by extracting insights from data , there are worries that the data privacy of millions might be compromised .
• AI is a black box , which means that bias in its processes might be difficult to identify and eliminate . At HPE OEM Solutions , we recognise the potential pitfalls in AI implementation . We believe that AI must be privacy-enabled and secure , designed with safeguards to prevent misuse , inclusive in its outcomes , and above all , used in a responsible and explainable manner .
For example , the HPE Cray supercomputers represent six of the top 10 supercomputers on the GREEN500 list , which ranks the 500 most energy efficient supercomputers worldwide . In addition , the HPE ProLiant ML350 Gen11 server , which is used to power numerous AI-based solutions , has been identified as the world ’ s most energy-efficient server with six world records across Linux and Windows . 3
In terms of ethical AI use , internal AI Ethical Principles training was introduced in 2022 . This initiative was further developed in 2023 with the launch of three sub-committees that are helping operationalise these ethics for the AI we are developing , AI we are sourcing to use , and AI we are incorporating into our solutions . 4
We can help you advance your media business with more than just AI .
Being able to harness AI is the topic of the hour , but it is difficult to rise to this challenge with an IT talent shortage and other issues on your plate . Having the right technology partner that can help you finesse your AI strategy in the context of your business development is of utmost importance . Even more so if this partnership can streamline operations and increase your sustainable technology credentials .
