Salad Launches Worlds First Fully Managed Container Service on Crowdsourced Infrastructure
Summary
Salad Technologies, a distributed cloud-computing startup based in Salt Lake City, has launched a fully managed container orchestration platform powered by tens of thousands of gaming PCs from around the world. With industry adoption of containerized workloads expected to continue at a rapid pace, and SMEs poised to shift 50% of tech spending to cloud resources in 2023, theres real opportunity for alternative providers. By sustainably leveraging latent computing resources and data-transfer bandwidth from consumer machines, Salad empowers everyday people to compete directly with incumbent cloud services. In a recent benchmark study, BERT transformer networks running on Salad Container Engine were shown to generate ten times more inferences per dollar spent than Amazon Web Services. Salad will soon unveil deployment integrations for privately hosted container images and expand its resources portfolio with dedicated GPU support in order to answer a growing waitlist of customers running generative AI workloads and other computationally intensive applications that require 3-D acceleration by such hardware.
