Learn how OpenStack private cloud works, what drives its cost, how it compares with public cloud and virtualization, and when it makes sense for your infrastructure.
Read field noteGPU Infrastructure / Accelerated Compute
Dedicated GPU infrastructure built around your workload. Deploy in a VEXXHOST data centre or bring Atmosphere to the GPU hardware you already own.
How it starts
We qualify the actual work before prescribing hardware or a commercial model.
Understand the workload, framework, data, concurrency, performance target and growth pattern.
Choose VEXXHOST-hosted or customer-premises deployment according to control, residency and economics.
Shape compute, storage, networking, platform and operating responsibility into one architecture.
Deploy the platform and establish the support or managed-operations model for production.
Deployment models
Hardware ownership and physical location should not dictate the operating experience. VEXXHOST brings a consistent open platform and support model to both.
Dedicated GPU capacity in a VEXXHOST data centre, sized and quoted around the workload.
Your GPU hardware in your data centre, deployed with the VEXXHOST platform, engineering, support and optional managed operations.
Included With Either Deployment Path
A production cloud platform for provisioning, isolation, networking, storage and lifecycle management.
Retain operational control with expert support or hand the platform operations to VEXXHOST.
What the product delivers
The valuable product is a usable, supportable environment around accelerated hardware.
Infrastructure is selected around memory, throughput, latency, scale and availability requirements.
Atmosphere and OpenStack provide APIs, tenancy, networking and repeatable lifecycle management.
Design block, object and file storage around training datasets, model artifacts and inference demand.
Plan east-west throughput, external connectivity and placement as part of the GPU system.
Match the workload to the appropriate consumption and isolation model.
Monitoring, support, upgrades and managed operations are available beyond the initial deployment.
The VEXXHOST AI portfolio
Scope the infrastructure
You do not need to arrive with a GPU model or cluster design. Start with the workload, location and timeline.
