Enterprise use of AI has grown 270 percent over the past four years, according to a 2019 survey of CIOs by Gartner.

To stay competitive in the face of this rapid adoption, organizations need to build data center infrastructure that is scalable and flexible enough to meet quickly evolving and expanding AI workloads.

IT plays a critical role in this. IT professionals across data center management, development operations (devops), security compliance and data governance need to be set up for success.

To help, the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute has released an online, self-paced Introduction to AI in the Data Center course designed for IT professionals. (Enroll today — the course is free through Jan. 31 with code DLI_IT_BLOG_PROMO.)
