What GenAI service do you need?

GPU supercomputers in the cloud, co-designed with NVIDIA. H100 & L40S accelerators networked at hyperscale with RDMA InfiniBand. The power of bare metal that can be shaped to any use case.

  • Startups and Scaleups

    AI startups & scaleups requiring cost-effective dedicated metal to experiment, train and inference GenAI workloads.

  • Managed Colocation

    Enterprises, government and education teams looking to add GPU cluster capacity to existing workloads, with a better TCO and time-to-use than
on-premise.

  • AI Platforms

    Mid & large-scale application and platform developers who demand large-scale, high-performance training and inference GPU clusters in geographically diverse locations.

  • Wholesale & Hyperscale

    Private supercomputing GPU clusters at hyperscale. 32,000 GPUs in a single cluster, customised to suit the bespoke requirements of enterprises and CSPs. Delivered at data centre level to expand private clusters or open new public AZs.

The power of SMC's cutting-edge GPU cloud, paired with NVIDIA AI Enterprise lets you get going on your journey to build sustainable AI. Pre-trained models, and over 100 frameworks, including NeMo, delivered with enterprise support from NVIDIA.

  • Security Built-in

    Continuous monitoring and regular releases of security patches for critical and common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs), SOC 2 compliant with enterprise support and access to NVIDIA AI experts.

  • LLM Training Speedup

    Train at scale with the NVIDIA TAO Toolkit. Create custom, production-ready AI models in hours, rather than months, by fine-tuning NVIDIA pretrained models - without AI expertise or large training datasets.

  • Reduce Development Time

    Develop faster with NVIDIA AI Workflows: prepackaged reference examples for enterprises to jumpstart the building of AI solutions.

  • Deploy at Scale

    With NVIDIA Triton Inference Server, simplify and optimise the deployment of AI models at scale and in production for both neural networks and tree-based models on GPUs.
