Introducing Virtual GPUs for Virtual Machines

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new addition to the ITS Private Cloud services: virtual GPUs (vGPUs) for virtual machines, now available at an affordable price of $180.00 per GiB per year, including NVIDIA Licensing.

Our vGPUs are based on the NVIDIA TESLA P6 TDP, renowned for its performance and efficiency. This integration brings the power of NVIDIA's advanced graphics processing right to your virtual machines, ensuring seamless and high-quality computing experiences.

Key Features and Benefits

NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation and NVIDIA Virtual Applications Licensing Included: With this launch, we are including two of NVIDIA's more popular licenses - the RTX Virtual Workstation and the Virtual Applications.
On-premise License Server: Tokens are provisioned through the virtual machine “guest info” interface and can be accessed from within the guest operating system with a simple command. The license activation process occurs locally.
Cost-Effective Pricing: At just $180.00 per GiB per year, our vGPU solution is not only powerful but also incredibly cost-effective. This pricing includes the NVIDIA Licensing fees, offering you a complete package without any hidden costs.
Limited Availability: We are rolling out our vGPU service with limited availability. Only cluster FD6 has compute hosts with GPUs.

Why choose our vGPUs?

Whether you're involved in data analytics, AI, graphic design, or 3D modeling, our vGPUs will supercharge your ITS Private Cloud virtual machines, providing the processing power needed for these intensive tasks, when and for how long you need it

Seamless Integration and Support: Our team is committed to ensuring a smooth integration of vGPUs into your existing virtual machines, including resource allocation via the ITS Private Cloud Ecosystem (API, CLI (v2023.12.0), SDK (v2023.12.0) and Portal (Early 2024). With comprehensive support and documentation, we make the transition to enhanced computing power effortless.

Enhanced Productivity and Efficiency: By harnessing the capabilities of NVIDIA TESLA P6 TDP, our vGPU solutions offer performance, enabling faster processing times and increased productivity.
