Introduction
Generative AI has rapidly become one of the most transformative forces in modern technology. From AI-driven chatbots and recommendation engines to code-generation tools and content creation platforms, the demand for generative AI workloads is exploding. However, these workloads are resource-intensive, relying on large-scale databases, high-performance compute clusters, and cloud infrastructure.
Organizations adopting generative AI often face two major challenges:
-
Database performance bottlenecks that slow down training and inference.
-
Escalating cloud costs from underutilized resources, unpredictable consumption patterns, and lack of cost attribution.
Enteros, with its AI-driven database performance management and Cloud FinOps capabilities, is designed to solve these issues. By combining AIOps-driven automation, advanced cost estimation, and AI-enhanced observability, Enteros empowers organizations to scale generative AI workloads while maintaining efficiency, transparency, and cost control.
In this blog, we explore how Enteros optimizes AI database performance, strengthens Cloud FinOps practices, and ensures operational excellence for generative AI workloads across industries.
The Challenges of Generative AI Workloads
Generative AI workloads push traditional infrastructure to its limits. Unlike standard business applications, these workloads involve large volumes of unstructured and structured data, requiring massive parallelism and low-latency database access. Common challenges include:
-
Heavy Data Processing Needs: Training models like GPT or image generators require handling terabytes or even petabytes of data.
-
Performance Variability: Query latency, I/O bottlenecks, and inefficient schema designs degrade throughput.
-
Cloud Cost Overruns: GPU clusters, storage systems, and high-frequency workloads result in skyrocketing cloud bills.
-
Inefficient Resource Utilization: Idle GPU time, over-provisioned storage, and lack of workload optimization waste resources.
-
Limited Cost Attribution: Enterprises struggle to break down AI-related cloud costs by department, project, or workload.
Without the right performance management and FinOps strategy, generative AI can quickly become unsustainable.
