A wave of artificial intelligence is poised to reshape industries across the Philippines, and a new partnership is aiming to ensure the nation is ready. Cisco Systems has joined forces with local technology firm Entropy to rapidly build the infrastructure needed to support this coming transformation.
At the heart of this initiative lies the first-ever local deployment of the Cisco Secure AI Factory, a powerful platform developed in collaboration with Nvidia. Entropy will leverage this technology to create and expand AI solutions tailored for a diverse range of organizations, from telecommunication giants to internet service providers and large enterprises.
The potential applications are vast and far-reaching. Imagine networks that heal themselves through automation, predictive maintenance systems that prevent costly downtime, and intelligent traffic management systems that ease congestion. This collaboration promises to unlock advancements in public safety, cybersecurity, and a deeper understanding of broadband performance.
The demand for AI is surging, but a critical gap exists. Cisco’s recent AI Readiness Index revealed that while half of Philippine organizations anticipate a 50% increase in AI workloads within the next few years, only half currently possess the necessary infrastructure to handle that growth.
This partnership directly addresses that challenge, providing a secure and scalable pathway for organizations to process massive datasets. The goal is to deliver not just data, but actionable insights – empowering businesses to make smarter decisions and operate more efficiently.
The collaboration isn’t simply about providing technology; it’s about empowering local industries to confidently embrace the future. By combining Cisco’s global expertise with Entropy’s local knowledge, the Philippines is taking a significant step towards becoming a leader in the AI revolution.
