AMD has accelerated its efforts to build sovereign AI infrastructure.

AMD announced on the 19th that it is expanding its strategic collaboration with Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and introducing its cutting-edge 'Helios' rack-scale AI architecture to India.

Through this collaboration, the two companies plan to help enterprises across India build large-scale AI learning and inference environments, and accelerate the implementation of the National AI Initiative and Sovereign AI Factory.

Helios is a rack-scale AI platform built on the AMD Instinct™ MI455X GPU, next-generation AMD EPYC™ 'Venice' CPU, AMD Pensando™ Vulcano NIC, and the open ROCm™ software ecosystem.

It aims to be an AI-ready data center environment supporting up to 200MW in scale, and is characterized by simultaneously considering performance, energy efficiency, and long-term scalability.

TCS, through its subsidiary HyperVault AI Data Center Limited, is collaborating with AMD to jointly develop Helios-based AI infrastructure designs. Through this, we plan to support the construction of large-scale AI infrastructure targeting hyperscalers, AI companies, and global enterprises in India.

This collaboration is a strategic move to address the shift in corporate AI adoption from pilot phases to large-scale deployments. Combining the Helios platform with TCS's enterprise expertise and large-scale operational capabilities is expected to shorten AI time-to-deployment, while significantly enhancing operational efficiency and real-world business impact.

“AI adoption demands a new computing infrastructure blueprint,” said Lisa Su, CEO of AMD. “Helios is an open, rack-scale AI platform designed for performance, efficiency, and flexibility. Together with TCS, we will help Indian enterprises deploy AI at scale and build the foundation for the infrastructure of the future.”
