Webinar Description: Beyond More GPUs: The Cost-Effective Way to Scale AI Research Infrastructure

Artificial Intelligence is transforming research, teaching, and innovation across higher education, but many university IT environments are struggling to keep pace. Traditional approaches to scaling infrastructure, such as continually adding more GPUs, can drive up costs, complexity, and resource-management challenges. 

Join 101 Data Solutions and Liqid for an insightful webinar exploring a smarter approach to AI infrastructure. Discover how composable infrastructure enables universities to dynamically allocate compute, storage, and GPU resources exactly where and when they are needed, maximising utilisation while reducing costs. 

Through real-world examples, including how the University of Groningen accelerated research outcomes using Liqid, we’ll demonstrate how institutions can modernise their infrastructure without costly overprovisioning.
