KAYTUS Brings the Latest V2 Series Server Solutions for Emerging LLM/GAI Applications to AI EXPO KOREA 2024

Empowering Enterprises with Full-stack AI Solutions and Leading Liquid Cooling Technology to Build an Infrastructure with Higher Computing Efficiency and Energy Efficiency

SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–KAYTUS, a leading IT infrastructure provider, will participate in AI EXPO KOREA 2024 as a Gold Sponsor, bringing its latest V2 series servers developed for emerging application scenarios such as cloud, AI, and big data, with the performance per watt improved by more than 35%. KAYTUS offers full-stack AI solutions for popular LLM and GAI application scenarios, creating a self-adaptive, intelligent infrastructure for users.

AI EXPO KOREA, themed on Quantum Jump, brings together over 35,000 industry experts from approximately 300 organizations to demonstrate, discuss, and promote the development and application of cutting-edge technologies. Deawon CTS and Etevers eBT will join KAYTUS to showcase more agile, cutting-edge product solutions.

Emerging Large Model and GAI Applications Create the Need for a New Infrastructure

As generative AI (GAI) is booming, large models such as GPT, LLaMA, Falcon, and ChatGLM drive increased social productivity as well as the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries. They not only increase the demand for more computing power but also expose the issue of low computing efficiency. For instance, the GPT-3 large model only achieves a computing efficiency of 21.3% when training on its GPU clusters with an energy consumption of up to 284,000 kWh. As AI chips for computing (with a power consumption of up to 1,000 W) and the computing density are improved increasingly, improving computing efficiency and lowering energy consumption have become challenges that data centers must address.

KAYTUS believes that higher computing efficiency is achieved through improvements in both measured performance and resource utilization. Servers’ software and hardware can be optimized collaboratively using application-oriented systematic design. The latest KAYTUS V2 series servers embrace diverse and heterogeneous computing, collaboratively optimizing software and hardware for real application scenarios to achieve higher computing efficiency, energy efficiency, and computing performance per unit power consumption with the performance per watt improved by more than 35%.

Full-Stack AI Solutions for Emerging AI Application Scenarios

KAYTUS provides full-stack AI solutions to meet the surging demand for computing power in LLM and GAI application scenarios, including cluster environment building, computing power scheduling, and large-model application development, to assist users in developing large model infrastructure.

MotusAI, the KAYTUS computing power scheduling platform, enables one-stop delivery for AI model development and deployment. By systematically optimizing resource usage and scheduling, training process and guarantee, and algorithm and application management in large model training, it is equipped with the ability of fault tolerance for training tasks, ensuring prolonged and continuous training. KAYTUS offers a diverse range of AI servers with industry-leading performance, increasing computing efficiency to 54% in large model training with thousands of billions of parameters involved and reducing training time by one week compared to the industry average. The AI inference capabilities are improved by 30%, maximizing the utilization of computing power.

• KR6288V2, featuring 8 GPUs in a golden 6U space, allows users to achieve excellent performance and maximum energy efficiency. It is suitable for a variety of applications in large data centers, including large model training, NLP, recommendation, AIGC, and AI4Science.
• KR4268V2 is one of the most flexible AI servers in the industry by supporting 100+ configurations. It features 10 DS PCIe GPUs in a 4U space, suitable for complex application scenarios, such as deep learning, metaverse, AIGC, and AI+Science.

A Complete Family of Liquid Cooling Servers for Continuous Improvement in System Energy Efficiency

The complete family of KAYTUS V2 servers supports cold-plated liquid cooling, including general-purpose servers, high-density servers, AI servers, and rack servers. It features 1,000 W single-chip cooling, liquid cooling of all key components, high-density deployment, and a PUE of nearly 1.0.

Volt Launches One-click PayTo Payments in Australia




Volt Launches One-click PayTo Payments in Australia

New payment solution enables customers to complete one-click payments after setting up a PayTo agreement with their chosen merchant

SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Volt, the global real-time payments platform, today announces the launch of its secure, PayTo based, one-click payment solution for its retail customers in Australia. In addition to simplifying the payments experience for customers and eliminating credit card surcharges, this next-generation online digital payment solution allows retailers to receive payments instantly.

Volt’s new one-click payment feature integrates with PayTo, the instant digital payment system from the New Payments Platform that enables businesses to initiate real-time payments from their customers’ bank accounts. Once a merchant has integrated Volt at checkout, customers simply select PayTo as their preferred payment method, enter their PayID, and then set a secure PIN and optional payment limit for that specific merchant. Once the agreement is approved in the user’s banking app, information will be securely saved, enabling instant one-click payments with that merchant in the future.

Volt’s one-click payment solution launches at a time where existing payment platforms within Australia are under scrutiny, with Australia’s FCA reporting a 46% increase in scam-related complaints over the past financial year. Since PayTo offers greater security than most other payment options, Volt’s merchants can now accept payments instantly, as well as reduce the risk of fraud associated with other online transactions.

Jordan Lawrence, Co-founder and Chief Growth Officer at Volt, comments: “Australian merchants have high expectations and have shown strong commitment to innovation. Since our expansion into Australia, Volt’s team has been focused on finding new ways to add value to this dynamic market. We wanted to build on our ability to combine beautiful payment experiences with the power of real-time payment technology. Volt’s one-click payments are an example of a solution that benefits all parties: offering Australian consumers access to smoother, easier, faster payments at checkout, while sophisticated Australian merchants can enjoy faster settlement times whilst eliminating risk and fraud.”

About Volt

Volt is building the global infrastructure for real-time payments. Our payment network is the first to unite domestic account-to-account schemes to a single interoperable standard. Scaling and enterprise businesses use it to accept real-time payments, initiate payouts and manage funds. Volt is headquartered in London, has offices in Berlin, Warsaw, Kraków, Sydney and São Paulo, and enables payments in 31 markets across the UK, the EU, Brazil and Australia.
