AMD and TCS bring Helios rack scale AI architecture to India

AMD and Tata Consultancy Services have expanded their strategic collaboration to co-develop a rack scale artificial intelligence infrastructure design tailored for India’s national artificial intelligence initiatives. Through its subsidiary HyperVault Artificial Intelligence Data Center Limited, Tata Consultancy Services will work with AMD to build on the AMD Helios platform, with a focus on large scale, high performance artificial intelligence workloads and data center deployments.

The Helios platform is powered by GPUs, next generation AMD Epyc Venice CPUs, AMD Pensando Vulcano NICs and the open ROCm software ecosystem, and is purpose built to deliver a rack scale artificial intelligence platform supporting sovereign artificial intelligence factories. By combining Helios with Tata Consultancy Services enterprise expertise and operational scale, the partners aim to accelerate artificial intelligence infrastructure deployment and improve operational efficiency for enterprises.

As part of the collaboration, AMD and Tata Consultancy Services will offer an artificial intelligence ready data center blueprint supporting up to 200 MW of capacity and will work with hyperscalers and artificial intelligence companies to accelerate data center build outs in India. The joint blueprint is positioned to guide large operators in designing and scaling next generation artificial intelligence data centers around the Helios architecture while aligning with national priorities on sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities.
