Intelligent and Confidential Management of Cloud Infrastructures for Healthcare AI
A pioneering initiative to develop secure and optimized cloud infrastructures for medical AI applications
Holistic Energy-aware & confidentiaL orchestratIOn for healthcare AI System
A name that reflects our holistic approach combining energy optimization, confidential security, and intelligent orchestration for healthcare AI systems. HELIOS aims to power the future of trustworthy and sustainable healthcare AI infrastructure.
AI-driven cloud infrastructure capable of autonomously predicting resource needs, optimizing workload placement, and dynamically adjusting CPU, GPU, memory, network, and storage allocations. This adaptive orchestration maximizes performance while reducing energy consumption.
Healthcare data protection through hardware-based Confidential Computing technologies such as AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, and Arm CCA. Confidential VMs keep data encrypted even during processing, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring GDPR and healthcare standards compliance.
Substantial energy savings through integration of EasyVirt's solutions and development of AI-driven optimization algorithms. Reduce power consumption without compromising confidentiality or performance, addressing the growing environmental concerns of AI infrastructure.
Multidisciplinary Institute in Artificial Intelligence
MIAI @ Grenoble Alpes aims to conduct research in artificial intelligence at the highest level, to offer attractive courses for students and professionals of all levels, to support innovation in large companies, SMEs and startups and to inform and interact with citizens on all aspects of AI.
No less than 55 companies have already contributed to MIAI with €5.8 million per year, including 23 large companies, 21 SMEs and 11 startups. This is a testament to the socio-economic world’s interest in artificial intelligence as well as the quality of the Grenoble ecosystem.
