NextGen DC Suite at a glance
What NextGen DC Suite does
GPU virtual machines
Tenants get full virtual machines with GPU passthrough and root access, for workloads that need an operating system of their own.
Tenant networking
Private networks, public addressing and firewalling per tenant, managed from the operator console.
One fleet, three shapes
The same GPUs can be sold as bare metal, pods or VMs depending on what the tenant asks for.
Same metering
VM hours and attached GPUs flow into the same metering and billing as everything else in Podstack OS.
You run the facility. Podstack ships the software.
Podstack OS is installed inside your data center and operated by your team. Podstack maintains the software and, if you opt in, brings demand.
You run
- The GPUs, servers, network and power, in your facility.
- Your brand on the storefront, the console and the invoices.
- Your prices, your customers and your customer relationships.
- Day-to-day operations of the racks and the tenants on them.
Podstack runs
- The operating system: provisioning, pooling, metering, storefront and console.
- Updates, security patches and support for the stack.
- The same software Podstack runs its own cloud on, so behaviour matches.
- Optional demand through Podstack Grid, at a floor price you set.
