When to use Private Cloud
- Enterprise production workloads at sustained scale
- Security-conscious teams that require single-tenant isolation
- Large, long-term commitments (typically $1M+ deployments)
- Workloads that need custom SLAs, custom networking, or custom storage
Key features
- Dedicated H100, H200, B200, and B300 GPU clusters
- Network isolation with private subnets and firewall rules — see Private Cloud Security
- High-bandwidth InfiniBand networking for distributed training
- Flexible operating models, including Managed Kubernetes or a fully isolated environment where only your team holds credentials
- Custom storage with node-local NVMe and shared or parallel filesystems
- Delivered with acceptance benchmarks, hardening validation, and a per-node handover document — see Cluster Handover
- Direct access to engineers, with 24/7 coverage for critical issues
Pricing and contract
- Custom contract based on cluster size, GPU type, term length, and configuration
- Long-term commitments with the best unit economics
- Access, management, and payment terms are unique to each contract and are negotiated directly with a sales representative and a technical representative
Your Private Cloud in the dashboard
Once your contract is active, a Private Cloud tab appears in your dashboard. Select your cluster under Compute. The cluster page shows:- Cluster summary: GPU count and model, total GPU memory, node count, interconnect, and shared storage.
- SSH access for the login node: user, authentication method, login node IP, private IP, connect command, and key fingerprint.
- Node inventory: each node’s role, hostname, public IP, internal IP, and GPU count.
- System configuration and network: platform, NVIDIA driver, CUDA version, CPU, memory, InfiniBand ports, link class, aggregate bandwidth, and OFED version.
- GPU software stack: the validated container image and NCCL version.
- Storage: each filesystem with its mount point and size, plus local scratch.
- Recommended NCCL configuration for your cluster.
- Forwarded ports.
- Additional information: benchmark results, support and escalation contacts, deployment notes, storage details, verification commands, and the handover date.
