Exclusive solution pack

Gcore IPU-based AI cloud is a Graphcore Bow IPU-POD scale-out cluster, offering an effortless means to add state of the art machine intelligence compute on demand, without the need for on-premises hardware deployment or building an AI infrastructure from scratch.

The IPU is an entirely new kind of massively parallel processor, co-designed from the ground up with the Poplar® SDK, to accelerate machine intelligence. Cloud IPU’s robust performance and low cost make it ideal for machine learning teams looking to iterate quickly and frequently on their solutions.

Dedicated vPOD

Leading the means in AI inference

The Graphcore Bow IPU-POD outperforms the popular NVIDIA DGX A100 when tested on the three industry-standard AI models in the cloud. The Bow IPU-POD delivers higher throughput and a better performance to price ratio.

Suspension mode for Cloud virtual vPODs

Suspension mode for Cloud virtual vPODs

Suspension mode provides a cost- and resource-efficient solution for temporarily pausing a virtual private cloud environment when it is not in use. By utilizing this feature, you can reduce expenses while preserving the integrity of your data and configurations.

  • Only storage and Floating IP (if active) are charged when a cluster is suspended
  • Cluster can be easily reactivated with the same configuration
  • The network configuration and cluster data are stored on external block storage, excluding ephemeral storage information. This offers the ability to modify the configuration and expand the cluster as required, providing greater flexibility
