What it solves

Omnia simplifies the complex process of setting up and managing compute servers, storage, and networking in large-scale environments. It removes the manual effort required to provision operating systems, install drivers, and deploy the software stacks necessary for high-performance computing and AI workloads.

How it works

Omnia is an open-source deployment toolkit that uses Ansible playbooks to automate the entire setup process. It handles OS provisioning, driver installation and configuration, and the deployment of cluster schedulers like Slurm and Kubernetes. Additionally, it automates the installation of optimization libraries, machine learning frameworks, and AI models.

Who it’s for

System administrators and infrastructure engineers who need to efficiently deploy and manage compute clusters for AI and machine learning platforms.

Highlights

• Ansible-based automation: Uses playbooks to ensure consistent and repeatable deployments.
• Scheduler support: Automates the deployment of both Slurm and Kubernetes.
• Full-stack AI deployment: Handles everything from the OS and drivers up to ML frameworks and AI models.
• Infrastructure management: Manages compute servers, storage, and networking within complex environments.
