This F5 white paper explores the complex trade-offs in AI infrastructure design—balancing power, latency, reliability, and data gravity. It analyzes deployment models (SaaS, cloud, self-hosted, edge), introduces concepts like power and data gravity, and provides strategies including model optimization, RAG, federated learning, and hybrid AI. Case studies highlight real-world constraints in power availability and regulatory compliance. It emphasizes sustainable infrastructure with energy-efficient technologies and renewable sources. For GenAI, it distinguishes training vs. inferencing needs and stresses latency-aware, location-conscious deployments for scalable, reliable, and cost-efficient AI.
