- Demonstrates technology securing AI service continuity through automatic local switching during cloud connection failures
- Significantly enhances service stability in mission-critical areas including finance, healthcare, and public safety

AI infrastructure platform company Lablup announced its participation in the world's largest mobile communications exhibition, Mobile World Congress (MWC) 25, taking place in Barcelona, Spain from March 3 to 6, marking its third consecutive year. At this exhibition, Lablup will unveil the next-generation version (v25.3) of its flagship product Backend.AI, highlighting 'distributed fault tolerance' technology that ensures cloud API service continuity as a core innovation.

The new distributed fault tolerance technology incorporated in Backend.AI v25.3 enables enterprises using cloud API-based services to continue critical operations despite network failures or service interruptions. This technology normally serves as an intelligent intermediary between cloud and on-premises environments, but automatically switches to local resources during cloud connection failures to maintain API calls and processing without interruption. This allows organizations to secure both the flexibility of cloud and the stability of on-premises simultaneously.

The value of this technology shines even more in environments like smart cities. Even when cloud API access becomes impossible due to internet connection failures, traffic control, security monitoring, and emergency response systems continue to operate uninterrupted in the local environment. This represents an innovation that dramatically reduces recovery time and greatly increases service stability compared to existing cloud-only solutions.

The distributed fault tolerance technology of Backend.AI is expected to deliver significant value in areas where service interruptions are critical, including ▲financial transaction systems ▲medical monitoring ▲public safety sectors. Lablup has confirmed through internal testing that this technology substantially improves system stability and is currently conducting validations with several companies.

Lablup will conduct demonstrations simulating real-time cloud connection failures at Hall 3 (K-AI Alliance Exhibition Hall) and Hall 7 (#7A62). Visitors can directly experience how Backend.AI immediately switches to a local environment to maintain service operations when cloud service connections are lost.

Additionally, the deep learning model deployment solution 'PALI (Performant AI Launcher for Inference)' will be showcased. Released in September last year, PALI has been combined with Backend.AI's distributed fault tolerance technology to further enhance the stability of inference services.

"The new distributed fault tolerance technology in Backend.AI v25.3 is an innovation that addresses the fundamental issue of instability due to cloud service dependency," said Jeongkyu Shin, CEO of Lablup. "This technology, which intelligently links cloud and local environments, has opened the way for confidently utilizing cloud AI technology even in mission-critical industries." He added, "Through this MWC, we plan to introduce the new value of Backend.AI v25.3 to the global market and expand domestic and international partnerships in the future."
