Hot Aisle vs Spheron

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.

Access GPU capacity from multiple cloud providers and certified data centers from one account, without separate signups per provider

Instances are billed by the minute rather than rounded up to the hour, past a 20-minute minimum runtime (60 minutes for a 2x AMD MI300X)

NVIDIA instances are typically ready in under two minutes with no approval workflow or provisioning queue

Compute spend across every connected provider is tracked in a single dashboard

Each VM or bare metal instance includes NVMe SSD storage, network bandwidth and full root access, with a dedicated IP on NVIDIA instances

Spheron sources large clusters, specific hardware and InfiniBand configurations from its partner data center network, with a typical quote turnaround of 24-48 hours
