Other formulas: Yearly rental · Custom quote

Configure a dedicated server

Need a custom infrastructure?

1. GPU model

2. Number of GPUs

3. Server

4. Duration

5. Checkpoint and data backup

An interrupted training run or a lost disk means days of compute lost. Your checkpoints must be copied off the server: the off-site backup keeps them in Canada, ready to restore so training resumes where it stopped.

Work out the capacity you need

The recommended capacity is selected for you. Up to 50000 GB; beyond that, request a quote.

Off-site backup of your server, in Canada, as an option.

Frequently asked questions

What are the exact specifications of the server?

The configurator shows the GPU model and its memory, the processor, the memory, the disks, the network and the operating system chosen. These are the parts of the server delivered to you, and the reservation agreement lists this configuration.

Is the capacity really reserved for me?

Yes. The server is dedicated: its GPUs, its processor and its memory are shared with no one during the whole reserved period.

Where is the server located?

In a data centre in Montreal, Canada. Your data stays in Canada.

What is the equivalent hourly price?

For each duration we show the average monthly price and its hourly equivalent (the monthly price divided by 730 hours), to compare with renting by the hour.

Is there a deposit?

There is no separate deposit: the period chosen is paid in advance, in one payment. For one month, the full month is paid, with no partial refund.

What is the reservation agreement?

Before the payment, you accept the reservation agreement online: the configuration, the duration, the total price paid in advance and the firm commitment. You receive a summary by e-mail.

Can I cancel or change?

No, the reserved period is paid in advance and the equipment is dedicated. Before the payment, you can cancel at no cost.

How long is the delivery?

Catalog: deployment within 7 business days after the payment is received. Custom builds: the time depends on the build, the hardware and the stock available; B200 builds and large configurations can take up to one month, on a schedule agreed with you. The reserved period starts when the server is delivered.

Which support levels are offered?

Standard support is included with every server. Higher levels, with shorter response and hardware replacement times, are offered as an option, per month and per server. The comparison table of the configurator details the commitments of each level, repeated in your reservation agreement.

Can I reserve a B200 server or a custom build?

Yes. Choose “Custom quote” and fill in the technical questionnaire: we answer with our price and a schedule. A dedicated build prepared for you is paid in advance and is non-refundable.

Why back up my training checkpoints off the server?

Because an interrupted training run or a lost disk can cost days of compute. With your checkpoints copied off the server, you resume training from the last checkpoint instead of starting over. In the configurator, enter the size of one checkpoint and how many to keep: the recommended capacity is selected for you, at the price shown per GB per month, paid in advance with the reservation.

Can I connect my servers through an internal network?

Yes. Add a private network in the options (depending on the server: 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps) to connect your servers without going through the Internet.

Can I back up my server?

Yes. An off-site backup in Canada is offered as an option: choose the size in the configurator, its price is added to the total.

Do I get root access?

Yes. You have full administrator (root) access to the operating system chosen.

Can I use containers?

Yes. Install Docker, Kubernetes or any other tool compatible with the system chosen, with the NVIDIA drivers.

How is the server protected?

The server is dedicated to you and a basic protection against denial of service attacks is included. You manage its system: updates, firewall and access. Our team helps you when needed.

Does my data stay in Canada?

Yes. The server and the data it holds are hosted in Montreal. This helps you meet Quebec’s Law 25 and the Canadian personal information laws, such as PHIPA in Ontario for health information. Compliance also depends on how you process the data: we do not certify it for you.

How do I pay?

By credit card for small amounts ($1,000.00 at most per transaction), or by Canadian bank debit or Interac for the full amount. A GPU Cloud account is needed.
