Vultr is partnering with Rescale to give engineers global access to high-performance cloud computing capabilities for simulation and AI innovation.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., and SAN FRANCISCO—Vultr, the developer of an advanced cloud computing platform, and Rescale, a provider of high-performance computing (HPC) built for the cloud, are partnering to accelerate engineering innovation across the globe, the companies said in a joint release.
Through their partnership, Vultr and Rescale aim to give engineering and data science teams in aerospace, automotive, energy, manufacturing, and life sciences access to high-performance, scalable cloud computing capabilities. The goal is to quickly spin up dedicated HPC stacks from anywhere in the world, leveraging Vultr’s global network of 32 cloud data center locations.
Rescale customers can now leverage Vultr’s composable cloud, which includes high-performance Cloud Compute, along with Cloud GPU, Bare Metal, and Cloud Storage, to scale their AI and cloud-native initiatives. The partnership includes integration with Vultr’s full array of Cloud GPU options, including the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper™ Superchip, HGX H100, A100 Tensor Core GPU, L40S, A40, and A16, the release said.
“Now more than ever before, data science and engineering teams need the best simulation tools and optimal computing infrastructure to drive innovation, no matter where they are located in the world,” said Joris Poort, CEO of Rescale, in the release. “Partnering with Vultr gives our customers new levels of cloud compute agility, offering them choice, flexibility, and exceptional options for powering the most intensive simulation and AI workloads. Together, Vultr and Rescale aim to give all the tools today’s engineers and innovators need to drive new scientific and analytical breakthroughs that will positively impact humanity.”
Rescale’s HPC-as-a-Service platform is said to provide intelligent full-stack automation and performance optimization. Coupled with Vultr’s composable cloud infrastructure, customers can efficiently and cost-effectively accelerate simulation and AI modeling—from research and development to training, fine-tuning, model inference, and getting models into production.
Vultr’s composable cloud options are reported to be unlike options provided by other hyperscale cloud providers in that they allow customers to choose the best Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offerings for their specific workload needs. They can then scale them across regions while addressing data sovereignty and privacy concerns, according to the release.
“Our partnership with Rescale is the latest step in our commitment to enabling an ecosystem of like-minded innovators, to deliver a best-of-breed alternative to the hyperscalers,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr’s parent company, Constant, in the release. “The combined capabilities of Vultr and Rescale give data scientists and engineers unfettered access to the latest and most powerful technologies and infrastructure needed to accelerate their AI initiatives.”
