Features Comparison

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.

Sesterce

Vertically Integrated AI Factories
Each site is operated as a single system, owning the hand-off between energy, facility, silicon, network fabric, and orchestration
Sovereign European Infrastructure
French sites offering data residency, controlled energy origin, and supply-chain control, drawing on 2 GW of hydro, nuclear, and solar capacity secured under long-term PPAs
SoftBank Joint Venture at Bosquel
A joint venture with SoftBank Group to develop a 1 GW AI data center campus at Bosquel in Hauts-de-France
Sesterce OS Control Plane
Single console and API to provision clusters, orchestrate training, serve inference, and meter usage across every Sesterce site, Slurm and Kubernetes native
High-Density Liquid Cooling
Purpose-built Tier III+ facilities with direct-to-chip liquid cooling at up to 150 kW per rack, rated at PUE 1.12 under full AI load
InfiniBand Fabric
Non-blocking NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand at 800 Gb/s with rail-optimized topology and native RDMA

Pros & Cons

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

Sesterce

Advantages

Broad on-demand catalog running from Blackwell B300 and H200 down to previous-generation NVIDIA cards, plus Intel Gaudi 2
On-demand, spot, and reserved billing modes on the same clusters
VM and bare-metal deployment with single- and multi-GPU (up to 8x) configurations
AI factory capacity at French sites, with hydro, nuclear, and solar energy under long-term PPAs

Considerations

On-demand instances run in regions across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific, so a self-serve instance is not necessarily hosted in France
Rack-scale GB300 NVL72 and B200 capacity is contracted as reserved AI factory capacity rather than sold from the self-serve catalog
The newest and largest accelerators (B300, H200, Gaudi 2) are only sold as 8-GPU nodes, with no smaller self-serve size
