Persistent Systems Limited has announced a strategic partnership with DigitalOcean to make Artificial Intelligence (AI) more accessible, scalable, and secure for enterprises and developers globally. This collaboration aims to accelerate AI adoption by offering cost-effective infrastructure designed for growth and innovation. As part of this alliance, Persistent has chosen DigitalOcean as its cloud and AI infrastructure provider for its AI-powered platform, SASVA™. SASVA™ integrates code, documentation, architecture, and executive summaries, adapting to various workflows. It will leverage DigitalOcean's Gradient™ AI Agentic Cloud for its AI workloads and customer deployments, including the AI Platform for agent development and high-powered GPUs. The partnership addresses challenges such as rising GPU and infrastructure costs, fragmented AI development ecosystems, and increasing security concerns. By combining Persistent's AI engineering expertise and platform innovation with DigitalOcean's agentic cloud infrastructure and AI platform, they aim to provide secure, cost-effective, and enterprise-ready AI solutions. This initiative is expected to reduce AI infrastructure and operational costs by over 50%, facilitating faster adoption and more predictable scaling of AI across industries. Persistent will utilize SASVA™ and its engineering expertise to build AI stacks that enhance DigitalOcean's cloud platform for AI workloads, thereby accelerating DigitalOcean's AI offering roadmap. DigitalOcean's Gradient AI Agentic Cloud was selected for its performance, transparency, predictable economics, and seamless scalability. It also reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs through managed environments and provides continuous access to a diverse catalog of AI models and accelerators within SASVA™. Sandeep Kalra, CEO of Persistent, stated that the partnership will help clients operationalize AI with confidence by combining Persistent’s AI engineering expertise and SASVA™ platform with DigitalOcean’s agentic cloud. Paddy Srinivasan, CEO of DigitalOcean, added that the partnership expands their AI capabilities for enterprise use cases by integrating their AI foundation with SASVA’s deterministic engineering, accelerating the large-scale use of AI solutions.
