Cognizant announced the launch of Cognizant AI Factory, a new enterprise platform designed to help organizations deploy and scale artificial intelligence across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
The AI Factory is a multi-tenant cloud offering built on infrastructure from Dell Technologies and NVIDIA. It aims to provide a unified environment for managing the entire AI lifecycle, from experimentation and development to deployment and operational management.
A key component of the platform is Cognizant’s proprietary “fractional GPU” technology, which uses NVIDIA’s Multi-Instance GPU architecture to divide GPUs into secure slices. This allows multiple teams or clients to run AI workloads simultaneously while maximizing hardware utilization and maintaining data isolation.
The company said internal testing indicates the platform could reduce total cost of ownership by 50–60% and improve AI processing speeds by up to 30%, helping enterprises move from AI pilot projects to full-scale deployment more quickly. The offering includes sandbox environments for experimentation, pre-built AI development pipelines, governance tools and consumption-based pricing to support scalable enterprise adoption of AI.
