Hot Aisle vs Salad Cloud

Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with 8x 192GB AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and Intel Xeon CPUs.

Transparent published MI300X rates with self-service VMs metered by the minute through Stripe; 8-GPU bare metal runs on monthly terms.

NetBox-backed inventory plus automated SONiC networking, PXE boot, host setup, and current ROCm drivers, so orchestration is not the first layer.

NUMA-balanced KVM virtual machines with direct GPU access and private isolated networking to avoid noisy neighbors.

8x400G RoCEv2 per chassis plus 100G internet and unlimited bandwidth.

Ubuntu options with ROCm, Docker, and optional K8s/Slurm/Ray installs via cloud-init.

Community-powered consumer GPUs for stateless and high-volume workloads with very competitive pricing.

Data center-grade A100, L40S, and H100 NVL capacity with managed orchestration for compliant workloads.

Deploy containers without managing nodes; scale replicas across thousands of GPUs via the Salad portal.

Public pricing calculator shows hourly rates for all GPU types across both Community and Secure tiers.
