AI has become an integral part of modern applications, enabling personalized experiences, predictive analytics, automation, and more. Deploying AI-enabled models requires addressing several key issues and a strategy for deployment on a purpose-built platform.  Assessing your data’s quality, volume, and relevance and choosing the right model to balance accuracy with performance is critical.  But deployment isn't just about the model—it's also about the infrastructure. Organizations must consider the compute resources, storage, and networking requirements as well as legal and ethical standards, to ensure scalability, security, flexibility and ease of use.

Red Hat helps to automate the entire AI lifecycle from model development to deployment and monitoring, leading to more reliable AI applications and quicker iteration cycles. This enables organizations to build, deliver, and manage their own AI-enabled applications and services across any cloud, on-premise, or edge environment

The power of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)

Today, most public sector organizations have built their operations using legacy applications. In many cases, these applications are still critical, but not nearly as performant or cost-effective as they once were. As such, agency leaders are looking for ways to become faster and more agile so that they can continue to enable innovation, control costs, and provide new ways to consume information. 

How can agencies take advantage of the assets they have already developed over the years, and simultaneously take advantage of new open technologies? During this webcast, join public sector decision-makers to examine the importance of application modernization, discuss trends and best practices for a more unified modernization strategy to support a newly distributed workforce.
