Aleph Cloud: How do AI agents benefit from decentralized, scalable computing?
As AI systems become more common, there is a growing need for fast, secure, and flexible infrastructure that isn’t tied to any central provider.
What is Aleph Cloud?
Aleph Cloud is a chain-agnostic, GDPR compliant supercloud that delivers scalable storage, computing, and database services through a network of distributed nodes.
The platform combines dynamic, IPFS-based storage with mutable databases and secure compute resources to support applications ranging from real-time data processing in gaming to large-scale AI model deployment.
The broader Aleph ecosystem also features TwentySix Cloud, a suite of services that simplifies application deployment and management on this distributed infrastructure.
Benefits for AI agents
AI agents need constant access to reliable compute power and secure, up-to-date data. Aleph Cloud provides:
Scalable compute options:
- On-demand and persistent VMs: Aleph Cloud offers a variety of VM options—both on-demand and persistent—to suit different workloads. For compute-heavy tasks, confidential VMs provide an isolated and secure environment.
- Serverless functions: similar to AWS Lambda but built on a distributed network, these functions allow for efficient, event-driven computing without long-term resource commitment.
Secure processing:
- Confidential VMs: use hardware-based encryption (AMD SEV) and end-to-end encryption for data transfers to keep sensitive computations private.
Flexible, multi-chain integration:
- Multi-chain support: allow AI agents to interact with different chains seamlessly, making it easier to build and deploy applications that span multiple ecosystems.
