Managed AI services and MLOps (machine learning operations) will play an essential role in helping businesses benefit from investment in cloud technology and data centre infrastructure, says MTN.
This comes as the operator readies to host the exclusive ITWeb Cloud & Data Centre executive dinner on 7 August at The Forum, Bryanston.
MTN’s position is that leading cloud providers differentiate themselves with a rich ecosystem of managed AI services.
According to the operator, these services, such as Amazon SageMaker, Google AI Platform and Azure Machine Learning, abstract away much of the complexity of infrastructure management.
They provide preconfigured environments, automated workflows for training and deployment, and access to pre-trained models, significantly accelerating the time-to-value for AI projects.
Sudipto Moitra, GM of Enterprise Solutions at MTN Business, is scheduled to speak on this topic and will focus on how the synergy between 5G networks and cloud computing is supporting ultra-low latency applications, and the growing demands of IOT and connected devices.
Christopher Geerdts, MD at BMIT, is scheduled to deliver a keynote presentation about the growth potential in SA’s cloud and data centre sectors.
In addition to investment potential, there will be emphasis on the integration of AI and ML into cloud platforms to provide enhanced services, the growing demands of IOT and connected devices, and implementing FinOps for sound hybrid multicloud financial management.
As with the Cloud and Data Centre 2025 event, AI is expected to dominate the discussion.
Lisa Lawlor, events director at ITWeb, said the event is a good opportunity to hear from industry leaders about digital infrastructure and strategies that drive efficiency, agility and resilience at enterprise scale.
“We believe this business dinner is a golden opportunity for business leaders to gain practical, real-world insights on how to modernise infrastructure, optimise cloud strategies and ensure operational resilience.”
