Blue Cloud Lands US$15.5 Million AI Infrastructure Order from IBM Cloud
Blue Cloud Softech Solutions Limited (BSE: 539607; NSE: BLUECLOUDS) has secured a major contract from IBM Cloud Inc for AI infrastructure design, deployment, and support services. The US$15.5 million order will be executed by the company's wholly owned US subsidiary, Global Impx Inc (GIX). The project aims to provide a scalable and secure infrastructure environment for AI and machine learning workloads.
The design phase will assess AI workloads and existing infrastructure before developing the high-level architecture and detailed design. The build phase will include GPU compute clusters, high-performance storage and networking, AI and machine learning platforms, and Kubernetes-based orchestration. The third stage will focus on securing and operating the infrastructure, including identity and access controls, network segmentation, encryption, monitoring, backup, and disaster recovery systems.
The project includes defined service levels, with infrastructure and GPU availability to be maintained at a minimum of 99.5 per cent. Critical alerts are required to be addressed within 15 minutes, while response to critical incidents is required within 30 minutes. The engagement will be executed in four stages and will cover the full infrastructure lifecycle.
