# Elevate Your AI Factory. Run It on Rafay.

**Rafay transforms GPU infrastructure into self-service, governed AI platforms that deliver applications and services at scale. With built-in usage tracking and monetization capabilities, organizations move from deploying GPUs to operating AI platforms.**

Organizations have already invested billions in accelerated compute. But GPUs alone don’t create outcomes. Without a scalable operating model, infrastructure remains fragmented, underutilized, and difficult to consume.

The world’s largest AI factories succeed by turning infrastructure into a platform—where developers, data scientists, and customers can access AI environments on demand, with governance, visibility, and cost control built in from day one.

Rafay provides that operating layer.

## What Is an AI Factory?

An AI Factory is an operating model that transforms GPU infrastructure into a self-service, multi-tenant platform for building, deploying, and delivering AI applications and services.

## What Defines an AI Factory?

AI Factories extend beyond infrastructure. They introduce a consumption and operating layer with five core capabilities:

**Self-Service AI Consumption**  
Developers provision compute, environments, and AI services on demand without tickets or manual setup.

**Multi-Tenant Governance**  
Infrastructure is securely shared across teams, customers, or business units with isolation, access controls, and policy enforcement.

**Standardized SKUs and Environments**  
Compute, AI workspaces, and applications are packaged into repeatable offerings that are deployed consistently across environments.

**Integrated Usage Tracking and Cost Control**  
All usage is measured and attributed, enabling chargeback, cost visibility, and operational accountability.

**AI Application and Model Delivery**  
AI Factories deliver not just infrastructure, but models, APIs, and applications that are consumed directly by developers and end users.

### What Leading AI Factories Achieve

Organizations using Rafay to power AI factories unlock measurable outcomes:

### Faster time from infrastructure to production AI services

### Higher GPU utilization through shared, multi-tenant consumption models

### Reduced operational overhead with automated lifecycle management

### New revenue streams through AI services and marketplaces

By turning infrastructure into a platform, AI factories become engines for innovation and growth—not cost centers.

## Proven in Production AI Factories

### TELUS Launches a Sovereign, Developer-Ready AI Studio

Rafay powers real-world AI factories across telecom, cloud providers, and enterprises. For example, TELUS built a sovereign AI factory that enables developers to provision GPU-powered environments on demand, access curated model catalogs, and deploy production-ready AI services—all within a governed, multi-tenant platform.

This model is becoming the standard for AI infrastructure globally.

### The Rafay Advantage

AI Factories require more than infrastructure orchestration. They require a complete operating model for how infrastructure is consumed, governed, and monetized. Rafay delivers this through four core layers:

**The Orchestration Layer**  
_Operationalizes GPU infrastructure_

**The Consumption Layer**  
_Enables self-service AI access_

**The Governance Layer**  
_Applies control and compliance at scale_

**The Monetization Layer**  
_Tracks, attributes, and monetizes usage_

Together, these layers transform GPU infrastructure into a fully operational AI Factory—ready to deliver AI applications and services at scale.

## AI Factory vs Traditional AI Infrastructure

| Traditional Infrastructure | AI Factory |
|---------------------------|-------------|
| Manual provisioning | Self-service access |
| Siloed environments | Multi-tenant platform |
| No standard packaging | SKU-based consumption |
| Limited visibility | Usage and cost tracking |
| Infrastructure-focused | Service and outcome-focused |
