Elements of a GPU Private Cloud

Building a GPU Private Cloud can take a lot of design work and a lot of consideration based on your use case. Software can be challenging or provide underperformance if not assessed and implemented correctly. 

The correct GPU alone is quite the task. You can see our guide to datacenter GPUs here: https://www.icc-usa.com/understanding-nvidia-gpus/

We’ve spent a long time integrating GPUs into private GPU clouds and there is some important building blocks we consider:

  • Compute
  • Hyper-Converged Infrastructure

  • Storage

  • GPU

  • NVMe

Compute – 1U Supermicro Ultra 

For the compute element of the GPU cloud, we recommend using SuperMicros Ultra SuperServer. We have extensive experience building this out as the compute node. It has 32 DIMM Slots, which can fit up to 8TB DRAM. For the CPU element, it supports Dual Socket P+ (LGA-4189) 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors.

Hyper-Converged Infrastructure – 2U 4 Node Supermicro Twin Pro 

For the Hyper-Converged Infrastructure, this particular server supports: Dual Socket P+ (LGA-4189) 3rd Generation Intel® Xeon® Scalable Processors, 16 DIMMs which can have up to 4TB RAM. With Intel® X710 Dual port 10GBase-T LAN onboard, the networking element is well equipped to handle many heavy workloads. 

 Storage – 4U 90 Bay Storage Server

For storage, there is typically a lot of deployment scenarios, this server supports up to 90 bays with the following disk configuration: 90 3.5″/2.5″ Hot-swap SAS3/SATA3 drives, 2x Fixed slim SATA SSD, 2x NVMe M.2 (form factor: 2280 and 22110).

GPU – 4U 8 x H100 GPU Server 

This GPU system has NVIDIA® NVLink™ with NVSwitch™ for GPU to GPU interconnect. This server has 8-GPU compatibility to handle all the GPU workloads throughout the cloud. 

NVMe – 2U 24 x NVMe Server

For the NVMe element, this server model supports 24x 2.5″ hot-swap NVMe/SATA/SAS drive bays (22x 2.5″ NVMe hybrid) and we’ve found it to be optimally a strong server for these types of configurations.

With all of that considered, you’ll be on your way to building a GPU cloud. Talk to us about building your GPU cloud.
