Persistent and DigitalOcean are teaming up to co-create AI-powered solutions and services that run on DigitalOcean’s cloud infrastructure. By blending Persistent’s expertise in data, AI and security with DigitalOcean’s simple, cost-effective platform, the partnership aims to democratise AI for smaller businesses, enabling faster experimentation, safer deployments and easier scaling of AI workloads.
Persistent Systems has entered into a strategic collaboration with cloud provider DigitalOcean to build and deliver AI solutions that are easier to deploy and manage for developers and digital-native businesses. The partners intend to create reference architectures, pre-built accelerators and managed services spanning generative AI, data pipelines, MLOps and application modernization.
DigitalOcean’s platform is widely used by startups and small businesses that value predictable pricing and simplicity, while Persistent brings deep experience in AI/ML engineering, security, compliance and integration with enterprise systems. Together, the companies plan to offer secure AI environments, optimisation of GPU resources, and consulting for clients looking to move from AI pilots to production at scale, without losing cost control.
The collaboration is positioned to help customers innovate rapidly—whether building intelligent SaaS products, chatbots, recommendation engines or analytics platforms—while offloading much of the underlying infrastructure and governance complexity to Persistent and DigitalOcean.
