The answer

you are in it

Many providers offer self-service bare metal GPU provisioning, allowing direct access to physical servers with GPUs for high-performance computing, AI/ML, and other intensive workloads. These services typically provide on-demand access with API, CLI, or web UI provisioning.

Here are some notable options:

  • Vultr: Offers global access to the latest AMD and NVIDIA GPUs on demand, available as bare metal or self-service clusters. They focus on performance, simplicity, and price predictability. Vultr Clusters provides on-demand, self-service bare metal server clusters that can be provisioned through their console or API.
  • phoenixNAP Bare Metal Cloud: Provides on-demand GPU servers with Intel® MAX 1100 GPUs, provisionable via API, CLI, WebUI, or Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Their platform helps build AI infrastructure clusters on dedicated resources with cloud-like flexibility.
  • DigitalOcean Bare Metal GPUs: Geared towards AI/ML workloads, these provide dedicated, single-tenant infrastructure with full access to all GPUs, ideal for large-scale model training and real-time inference. They are available in New York (USA) and Amsterdam (Netherlands).
  • Equinix Metal: This platform is frequently mentioned as a bare metal provider, offering physical servers with root access.
  • NorthWind Platform: Offers Bare Metal GPUs-as-a-Service (BMaaS), giving customers direct access to the host operating system on dedicated GPU servers. They enable transforming AI PODs into a self-service GPU cloud.
  • Other Providers:
  • OpenMetal: Allows attaching RTX PRO 6000 or H200 GPU servers to existing deployments, provisioned as dedicated bare metal nodes.
  • Rackdog: Offers high-performance bare metal GPU dedicated servers with instant, custom deployments and predictable pricing.
  • Bitdeer AI Cloud: Provides dedicated GPU servers for high-performance workloads, offering full control over environment customization.
  • Major cloud providers like Amazon EC2 and Azure also offer bare metal instances, including those with GPUs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) also provides bare metal instances with NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.

These self-service options aim to combine the raw performance and control of bare metal hardware with the agility and on-demand nature of cloud computing.
