"Skylus.ai simplifies the integration of multi-vendor GPUs and CPUs, enabling the creation of tailored workspaces that align with specific workload needs. Whether utilizing CPUs, full GPUs, or slices of multi-instance GPUs, Skylus.ai ensures seamless and efficient resource allocation. The platform also features Tyrone Kubyts, a workbench offering pre-tested, pre-built, optimized, and qualified container images in the form of an image marketplace. This allows users to access packaged containers or VM disk images that are ready to deploy, saving time and reducing the complexity of application deployment from scratch," the company said in its exchange filing.

In addition to its advanced resource management capabilities, Skylus.ai integrates seamlessly with Tyrone HyperScale NAS—ParallelStor, a hyperscale storage solution that supports file and object access, ensures high throughput and low latency, and efficiently manages large volumes of small files. This integration eliminates the need for multiple data copies and supports global data management across both on-premises and cloud environments, the company added.
