GPU Scarcity Is Driving AI Infrastructure Overprovisioning | Dirk Alshuth, emma

GPU scarcity is distorting AI infrastructure planning. Enterprises request larger accelerators than their workloads actually require because availability drives procurement decisions, not technical fit. The result is overprovisioning, wasted capacity, and inflated costs. When organizations finally secure GPU access, they're often running inference workloads on training-class hardware—burning margin on compute they don't need.

Dirk Alshuth, CMO at emma, explains how emma's professional services team addresses the mismatch between GPU requests and actual workload requirements. By engaging with customers before provisioning, emma helps organizations identify the right accelerator capacity for their use cases—whether that's emma's Luxembourg data center, hyperscaler GPU offerings, or specialized AI cloud providers. emma also provides self-service deployment for teams that already know their infrastructure requirements.

Key Topics Covered:
• GPU provisioning for AI workloads: sourcing accelerators from emma's Luxembourg data center, hyperscalers, and specialized providers
• Professional services-led assessment: matching customer GPU requests against actual workload requirements to prevent overprovisioning
• Self-service vs. guided deployment: turnkey infrastructure for experienced teams vs. consultation for complex use cases
• AI inference workflows: emma is building inference-specific capabilities alongside compute provisioning
• Cloud cost management and FinOps: unified visibility across on-prem, hyperscalers, and European sovereign cloud providers
• PwC global alliance: emma as the cloud operations platform for PwC's enterprise transformation projects
