is glad to count Deloitte , Workday , NVIDIA and Microsoft among those .
“ We ’ re very excited to have received a significant gift from Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang at NVIDIA to bring a SuperPOD to campus ,” she says . “ The SuperPOD will give us GPU capacity to the nth degree and will be one of the most powerful university AI supercomputers upon its release .
“ The technology we will receive isn ’ t even in use today . The systems are still being designed for use two years from now , so I ’ m very excited to see what we ’ ll be able to achieve with it .”
What ’ s more , Ballinger can credit the efficiency of OSU ’ s enterprise architecture to its partnership with Microsoft – indeed , she calls the relationship “ priceless ”.
She adds : “ With Microsoft , there is a group of people we have face-to-face partnerships with . They share their view of things from the private sector , which is particularly valuable as Microsoft ’ s reach extends across multiple industries .
“ We understand where higher ed is in the wider picture of technology , and what we need to do to catch up to other industries across the globe .
“ The AMP is why we ’ re bringing in Deloitte . They ’ ll be able to help us prepare people to use and adopt these technologies in the right way , leverage secure and quality data and be more productive while doing their jobs .
