Use case · AI inference and accelerated compute
Run accelerated workloads without purchasing and housing dedicated hardware.
Cloud GPU for flexible deployment; Bare Metal GPU for intensive isolated work.
Compare suitable serversWhen is a GPU server useful?
A GPU server is useful when inference, rendering, or parallel compute is materially faster on supported accelerators. Choose by model memory, throughput, software compatibility, and region—not by GPU name alone—and confirm that the workload can use the selected accelerator.
What the server can support
- Serve supported inference workloads
- Run rendering or parallel compute jobs
- Choose an accelerator and location together
Decide before deployment
- Required GPU memory
- Framework and driver compatibility
- Utilization and data-transfer pattern
Representative architecture
Keep each dependency visible.
This sequence is a planning model, not a prescribed topology. Change it when the application’s measured request and data paths require a different boundary.
- 01Request or job queue
- 02Model service
- 03GPU memory and compute
- 04Result and telemetry path
Selection criteria
- Fit model weights and runtime memory on the accelerator
- Benchmark the exact framework, precision, and batch shape
- Account for data loading and CPU preprocessing
Failure modes to test
- A model can fit storage but exceed GPU memory
- Low utilization can make acceleration uneconomic
- Driver, runtime, and framework mismatches can prevent execution
Catalogue connection unavailable
No configuration is being guessed.
Current active configurations could not be verified. Use the decision criteria on this page, then retry the catalogue when the connection recovers.
Recovery implication
Decide what must return before choosing how to protect it.
Keep model artifacts, configuration, container or environment definitions, and output data independent of the server. Prove the workload can restart on a replacement configuration.
Application, configuration, credentials, and database.
Server-level and application-aware recovery inputs.
Recover without overwriting the source by default.
Check data, dependencies, access, and application behavior.
Choose from evidence, then observe
The suggested family is a starting point, not a guarantee of application performance. Test the software with representative traffic, monitor the constrained resources, and keep application-aware backups. Vloxt exposes eligible server controls and current catalogue choices; the application architecture remains yours.
