In today’s competitive environment, enterprises are leveraging technology that enhances customer experience and improves efficiency to generate revenue. One method to achieve these goals is through the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. Use cases, such as AI inference, often require reliable, low-latency performance and, therefore, local data center infrastructure and technical expertise. American Tower and Vertical Data offer compatible services, such as AI inference at the edge, to enable customers to optimize their business using technology.
