AMPD Joins NVIDIA Cloud Service Provider Partner Program - Enhances GPU Cloud Service Offerings for Low-Latency Applications Across Media & Entertainment, Machine Learning

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 23, 2021 / AMPD Ventures Inc. ('AMPD' or the 'Company') (CSE:AMPD)(FRA:2Q0) is pleased to announce that it is joining the NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) Cloud Service Provider Program, enhancing its ability to offer NVIDIA graphics acceleration as part of its mission to lead the transition of solution providers to the next generation of cloud infrastructure.

With upgraded, high-performance compute and cloud offerings, AMPD's ‘High-Performance Computing at the Edge' approach aims to meet the low-latency requirements of media and entertainment development, including virtual production pipelines and CGI rendering, multiplayer video games and eSports, artificial intelligence, machine learning, mixed reality, big data processing, and the as-yet-uncharted technological developments of the coming decades.

As a qualified partner in the NPN program, AMPD will work with customers to deploy NVIDIA GPU-accelerated solutions and provide access to the NVIDIA CUDA computing platform for these modern workloads, enhancing services such as virtual workstations, high-end gaming machines, scalable rendering platforms, and exceptionally powerful machine learning processing for creative and technical professionals working from anywhere.

"It's never been more important for companies to support their high-performance compute workloads from the cloud," says Anthony Brown, Chief Executive Officer of AMPD. "As a qualified provider in the NVIDIA Partner Network, we're now unlocking the power of scalable high-performance computing in private and public cloud environments for a distributed workforce on the AMPD High-Performance Cloud. It's all part of our mission to blend the utility of high-performance computing with the convenience of cloud."

"Collaborating with NVIDIA emphasizes AMPD's commitment to helping clients in need of the most performant AI, ML, HPC and rendering solutions in the cloud," said Don Bustin, Chief Technology Officer at AMPD. "The combination of the NVIDIA accelerated computing platform with AMPD's high-performance compute infrastructure and low-latency clustered network is extremely compelling for enterprises. For example, our recently announced high-performance storage solution can supply data to NVIDIA A100 GPUs at unprecedented rates and demonstrates how an integrated approach to modern computing has key advantages for customers that the commodity cloud simply cannot match."

"The combination of NVIDIA technology and AMPD is expected to fuel incredible innovations across a wide range of industries and applications," said Matt McGrigg, director of global business development for cloud and strategic partners at NVIDIA. "Integrating NVIDIA GPUs into AMPD's cloud service offerings enables performance breakthroughs and acceleration within modern CGI, AI, machine learning, and data analytics workloads."

The GPU as a Service Market was estimated to be worth USD $700 million in 2018 and will grow at a CAGR of over 38% per year to over $7 billion by 2025¹.
