Features Comparison

Bentaus

HGX B300 nodes
Eight-GPU NVIDIA HGX B300 (Blackwell Ultra) nodes with 288 GB HBM3e per GPU, NVLink within the node and 400G InfiniBand between nodes
Owned energy infrastructure
Capacity is deployed on power infrastructure Bentaus develops and operates itself, including generation, battery backup and liquid-cooled facilities
Ziani orchestration
Proprietary software that coordinates compute, power and energy assets in real time, letting GPU load respond to grid signals while keeping workload SLAs
Sales-assisted provisioning
Every order goes through an ordering form and a solutions architect; there is no instant single-GPU deployment
Dedicated AI factories
Fully isolated clusters designed to the customer's specification, with monitoring, support and SLAs, under a custom contract

Hot Aisle

AMD MI300X Fleet
Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with 8x 192GB AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and Intel Xeon CPUs.
Minute-Level Billing
Transparent published MI300X rates, with self-service VMs and dedicated 8-GPU bare metal both metered by the minute through Stripe.
Automation Below Kubernetes
NetBox-backed inventory plus automated SONiC networking, PXE boot, host setup, and current ROCm drivers, so orchestration is not the first layer.
Isolated KVM Instances
NUMA-balanced KVM virtual machines with direct GPU access and private isolated networking to avoid noisy neighbors.
High-Speed Fabric
8x400G RoCEv2 per chassis plus 100G internet and unlimited bandwidth.
Ready-to-Use Images
Ubuntu options with ROCm, Docker, and optional K8s/Slurm/Ray installs via cloud-init.

Pros & Cons

Bentaus

Advantages

Published per-GPU-hour price ranges for both on-demand and reserved B300 capacity, which most node-scale providers keep quote-only
Reserved capacity is described as guaranteed, non-interruptible and rate-locked for the term
Vertically integrated: the same company owns the power, the facility and the GPUs
Capacity advertised as available now rather than on a waitlist

Considerations

Minimum order is one eight-GPU node, so the hourly floor is eight times the per-GPU rate; there is no single-GPU option
Provisioning is sales-assisted through a solutions architect, not self-service or instant
Regions, billing increment, minimum rental duration and reserved term lengths are not disclosed

Hot Aisle

Advantages

Self-service MI300X VMs with transparent published rates metered by the minute, no sales call required
Dense XE9680 nodes with 8x400G RoCEv2 for multi-server scaling
Credit card to running compute in under a minute, with public IP and firewall control included
100G internet with unlimited bandwidth plus included IPv4/IPv6 addresses

Considerations

Single public region (Grand Rapids, MI) limits locality options
AMD-only GPU lineup today; MI355X is reservation-only for now
VMs top out at 4 GPUs; 8-GPU configurations are offered only as dedicated bare metal
