Viking Enterprise Solutions WINS PRESTIGIOUS BEST OF SHOW AI/ML AWARD AT FMS: THE FUTURE OF MEMORY AND STORAGE

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Viking Enterprise Solutions; a division of Sanmina Corporation (NASDAQ: SANM), is proud to announce that it has received a "Best of Show" award at FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage, for its Viking Edge AI solution. The 'Best of Show' award is given to the most outstanding product, service, or innovation showcased at FMS. This recognition highlights Viking Enterprise Solutions commitment to excellence and innovation.

Use cases for AI/ML workloads such as smart factories, media & entertainment, transportation & logistics, and healthcare are often challenged by not having compute and data together at the edge. Traditional architectures rely on the constant data movement between compute and storage over the network creating new challenges with latency, privacy, security, bandwidth, data pipeline and business logic.

Viking Edge AI moves computation closer to storage and reduces the amount of network infrastructure and data that must travel between storage and compute nodes.

"Running AI applications on devices at the edge have to deal with the challenges of limited storage. This results in data having to be collected in a data center or in the cloud for processing, creating a heavy burden on the network and delays to getting inference results," said Jay Kramer, Chairman of the Awards Program and President of Network Storage Advisors Inc. "We are proud to recognize Viking Enterprise Solutions with the Viking Edge AI Platform as a turnkey 3U solution that uniquely addresses this challenge."

"Viking's Edge AI addresses the challenges with a turnkey solution enabling customers to quickly deploy their application without the need for additional infrastructure. Being recognized with the 'Best of Show' award at FMS is a great honor," said Rick Kumar, SVP of Viking Enterprise Solutions.

Held annually in August in the heart of Silicon Valley, FMS: the Future of Memory and Storage is the premier memory and storage event attracting top professionals, innovators, and companies from around the world. The "Best of Show" award is one of the highest honors given at the event, recognizing outstanding achievement and innovation. For more information about FMS, please visit FutureMemoryStorage.com
