Scalable Video AI Marketplace Powered by AWS Cloud and Intel® OpenVINO™ Toolkit
Video analytics is an ever-evolving field, with enterprises - both big and small - constantly leveraging its use cases. Thousands of cameras, IoT devices, and sensors are deployed across cities, businesses, and factories - generating peta- bytes of data each day. With such a data explosion, it’s critical for businesses to utilize AI to streamline video applications. However, when it comes to “video AI” solutions, customers often require applications for several use cases which vary from one business to the other, even in the same industry vertical. Developing an app for each use case will be a pains- taking process, which will cost time, manpower, and resources.This is where Awiros is making a difference. A one-of-its-kind video intelligence platform, Awiros brings in the power of Computer Vision (CV) to a large audience through its marketplace, as well as its core technology offering, which lets others build CV applications without the overhead of system engineering and data engineering efforts. Essentially, Awiros is a software infrastructure layer that simplifies and reduces the time-to-market for a video AI product so that developers can build and take great video AI products to market without reinventing the wheel.

“We selected Awiros to implement crowd estimation application during cricket matches and religious festivals. We found their solutions to be highly practical, simple and user-friendly for all departments. We used their solutions across CCTV cameras and drone footage and were able to deploy it very quickly.”
AppStack - The World's First Video Intelligence Marketplace
Awiros AppStack is the key go-to-market strategy component for Awiros. It functions as an aggregator of CV and video analytics applications which are developed by both Awiros, third party developers, and partners. With the AppStack, customers get to choose any application from the ecosystem easily and seamlessly. More importantly, it enables customers to subscribe to the latest video AI apps through the same infrastructure without any capital expenditure in the given hardware.

The AppStack helps to bridge the gap between developers and end customers as customers get to choose the right AI solution for their use cases from the available offerings, while developers can build and serve their “apps” in the most efficient manner. When combined with the Awiros unified video intelligence platform, AppStack becomes a truly unique offering as customers can source or subscribe any application from the AppStack on the platform with ease.

AppStack hosts more than 60 major end-to-end video AI applications, which serves diverse set of customers and industry segments, such as:
Harnessing AWS & Intel Technologies for a Reliable & Scalable Platform
Awiros packages services like Amazon EC2 as part of the offerings which allows customers to consume best-in-class video AI apps on a reliable and scalable AWS cloud platform with expandable compute instances. Amazon EC2 provides a wide selection of instance types optimized to fit different use cases. Amazon EC2 instances are designed to accelerate real-time video transcoding and deliver low-cost transcoding for live video streams.

Awiros packages services like Amazon EC2 as part of the offerings which allows customers to consume best-in-class video AI apps on a reliable and scalable AWS cloud platform with expandable compute instances. Amazon EC2 provides a wide selection of instance types optimized to fit different use cases. Amazon EC2 instances are designed to accelerate real-time video transcoding and deliver low-cost transcoding for live video streams. Being a video AI OS and marketplace, Awiros processes nearly 1000 hours of video per minute. To achieve this, an entire ecosystem of hardware optimization, software compatibility layers and developer support needs to be in place. In all these aspects, Intel has helped Awiros to not only build the technology but also scale it in a much faster way.

Awiros' solution was deployed on the EC2 compute infrastructure, which is based on the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors. The 3rd Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors - powering the M6i, R6i, and C6i instances - offer better price perfor- mance, built-in AI acceleration with Intel® Deep Learning Boost (Intel® DL Boost), and built-in crypto acceleration. The processors allow the platform to run around 40 video AI applications on an enterprise grade rack appliance or server.

This is optimized by the Intel® Distribution of OpenVINOTM toolkit, which allows AppStack to make the most of the existing hardware without having to reinvent the hardware optimization from scratch. Awiros’ technology interfaces with the OpenVINO library from Intel to accelerate deep-learning inference on the CPUs.

Thus, by leveraging AWS Cloud built on Intel’s line of processors, along with hardware acceleration toolkits like OpenVINO, Awiros was able to:

• Provide affordable solutions for customer use case deployments
• Obtain higher power efficiency and better FLOPs
• Achieve a better cost-per-device in large scale deployments.

Awiros' platform allows efficiency in the processing requirements of a given AI app, where Awiros provides up to 15x better performance-per-unit hardware, compared to off-the-shelf solutions. In terms of customer experience, Awiros has been touted as the best AI solution among peers, because of the comprehensive offerings available through the Awiros market- place
