WORKLOAD — AI INFERENCE
INFRASTRUCTURE CONSIDERATIONS
User-facing inference benefits from regional placement close to demand.
Serving tiers often require multi-site resilience.
Power and cooling plans should accommodate demand-driven variation.
Connect regional serving to central model and data stores.
TYPICAL PROFILE
| Typical scale | Racks to multiple megawatts |
|---|---|
| Rack density | Documented per site |
| Cooling | Air, hybrid, or liquid-ready |
| Latency to users | Often a primary constraint |
| Deployment models | Turnkey, dedicated suite, edge |
