Description:
Third Wave wants to undercut the competition from hyperscalers with its 
Raytrek Cloud service.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Japanese firm Third Wave is launching a GPU cloud service for anyone who 
wants to run generative AI workloads  including large language models (LLMs), 
simulation, or computer-aided design (CAD)  from their own PCs. 

You dont need the best PCs or best GPUs to use Third Waves cloud service, 
called Raytrek Cloud, with the company indirectly leasing the compute 
resources required to tap into the power of AI as it gains more and more 
traction. 

The firm revealed its GPU cloud at Dospara Plus Synapse 2023, while also 
confirming it was focusing its efforts on servers and workstations for AI. 
This will come in the form of its cloud service but also the development and 
distribution of such hardware. Running low-cost AI workloads in the cloud 

The firm also revealed the launch of five new products, including the X4630 
workstation thats fitted with a 4th-Gen Xeon Scalable processor and NVIDIA's 
RTX6000 Ada GPU. 

This fits with the firms reorganization lately, into the GALLERIA brand for 
its consumer and gaming PCs and Raytrek for its enterprise-centric hardware. 

The launch of Raytrek Cloud, meanwhile, comes in light of the firm 
recognizing were in for an explosion in data available in the coming years, 
with 60 times more data being produced now than ten years ago. 

Director, senior executive officer and VP of Third Wave Akiya Ida added that 
data centers used for the cloud have created power consumption issues, with 
future AI systems likely to run off the cloud as well as on-prem. 

With Raytrek Cloud, businesses can access a remote workstation through a 
desktop as a service (DaaS) offering for tasks such as CAD or building 
information modeling (BIM). Theres also the possibility of tapping into the 
GPU service to run AI workloads, including for generative AI as well as 
simulations that need high-performance computing. 

The firm, ultimately, wants to be the cheapest AI cloud service provider with 
a monthly fee thats half to a third less than major cloud companies, 
according to PC Watch . Its also pay-as-you-go, so it can be used on an 
hourly basis or in small increments. More from TechRadar Pro These are the
