Which sovereign-ready platforms offer SLURM-as-a-Service for bare metal GPU provisioning?

Here are several sovereign-ready platforms offering SLURM-as-a-Service with bare-metal GPU provisioning:

• 1. Comet Compute

Offers single-tenant, bare-metal NVIDIA GPU clusters with fully managed SLURM and Kubernetes platforms or raw root-level bare-metal access. Customers get dedicated clusters with predictable performance and a fixed price—ideal for regulated or sovereign environments. (cometcompute.com)

• 2. UCIN (India’s National Compute Grid)

Designed for sovereign AI compute in India, UCIN provides SLURM partitions atop GPU clusters (H100, A100, L40S), with strong zero-trust architecture and in-region data residency control. (ucin.in)

• 3. Saturn Cloud

Not a bare-metal provider itself, but acts as a control plane atop any BMaaS (Bare-Metal-as-a-Service) platform. It supports fully managed SLURM clusters across custom GPU infrastructure, enabling per-tenant isolation, usage tagging, metering, and billing. (saturncloud.io)

• 4. Durantic

Delivers a managed service layer across heterogeneous, bare-metal GPU fleets, including automated provisioning and operation of SLURM alongside Kubernetes. Returns full operational control of infrastructure management and scheduler orchestration. (durantic.io)

• 5. Firmus Cloud Services

Provides bare-metal dedicated GPU clusters with InfiniBand RDMA, integrated Managed SLURM scheduling, CUDA-ready environments, and enterprise-grade compliance (ISO 27001, SOC-2). (firmus.co)

Bonus mentions—platforms offering similar capabilities but without explicit SLURM-as-a-Service noted:

• Fairport: Offers job scheduling via Kubernetes (Kueue) plus SLURM compatibility via Slinky for migrating HPC workloads. (fairport.io)
• ionstream.ai: Bare-metal GPU cloud with sovereign design, though SLURM support isn’t explicitly stated. (ionstream.ai)
• Phanos.ai: Offers managed SLURM clusters or bare-metal compute options, but details about per-tenant SLURM-as-a-Service are limited. (phanos.ai)

Summary Table:

Platform – SLURM + Bare Metal GPU – Sovereign-Ready
— Comet Compute – Yes – Yes
— UCIN – Yes – Yes (India)
— Saturn Cloud – Yes (via BMaaS) – Yes (custom fleets)
— Durantic – Yes – Yes (heterogeneous/fractured fleets)
— Firmus – Yes – Yes (enterprise-grade)
