Abstract
The Lenovo Validated Design (LVD) for AI Data Processing with Centific AI Data Foundry delivers a scalable, high-performance AI infrastructure optimized for multimodal AI workloads, including Vision-Language Models (VLMs), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Automated Speech Recognition (ASR). This pre-tested solution integrates Lenovo ThinkSystem servers, NVIDIA GPUs, and AI software to streamline AI deployment, enhance model efficiency, and reduce operational complexity.
The Centific AI Data Foundry enables automated ingestion, transformation, and model deployment for real-time video, text, and speech processing, leveraging NVIDIA GPUs and Kubernetes-based orchestration. The architecture supports progressive scalability from Starter deployments to Scalable Unit (SU) configurations, allowing businesses to start small and expand cost-effectively to meet enterprise AI demands.
This document provides a comprehensive overview of the technology stack, deployment models, scalability strategies, performance benchmarks, and validation methodology, ensuring enterprises can adopt AI-driven solutions with confidence. By integrating high-performance computing, optimized AI workloads, and robust security, the LVD accelerates AI adoption across diverse industries, reducing deployment risks while maximizing real-time insights for video intelligence, search, and multimodal applications.
