Private AI on a Budget: How the US Senate Federal Credit Union Made It [INVB1907LV]

Speakers: Mark Fournier, Shwn Kelly, Michele Collauto

Organizations are eager to leverage AI to propel their business, but one of the main concerns is keeping everything private. Small companies need to protect customer data and don’t want to give up any information or intellectual property to the big players they compete against. Building your own AI solution from scratch is possible, but it also brings risk—do you have a multi-million dollar budget to gamble with? This is the chronicle of the US Senate Federal Credit Union’s (USSFCU) successful, small and effective implementation of VMware Private AI with NVIDIA, using limited resources and a small budget on Dell PowerEdge. Join us in this session to hear about our challenges and the winning strategies that brought USSFCU to deploy an AI solution on VMware vCloud Foundation that can be scaled up as you need, tailoring it to your organization.
