Liquid Web launches new GPU hosting service for AI and HPC — and users can access a range of Nvidia GPUs (including H100s)

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Liquid Web has unveiled the launch of a new GPU hosting service designed to keep pace with growing high-performance computing (HPC) requirements.

The new offering will harness Nvidia GPUs and is catered specifically toward developers focused on AI and machine learning tasks, the company confirmed.

Users capitalizing on the new service can expect a range of benefits, according to Liquid Web, including “accelerated performance with Nvidia GPUs”.

"Untapped potential"

Sachin Puri, Chief Growth Officer of Liquid Web, said the new service will support developers at an “affordable price” and offer reserved hourly pricing options for users.

“AI has infinite untapped potential, and we want to empower developers and AI innovators to harness the full power of NVIDIA GPUs,” Puri said.

“With performance benchmarks that speak for themselves, this solution is the clear choice for accelerating AI workloads and maximizing value. And this is just the beginning — stay tuned as we expand our lineup to deliver even more powerful solutions in the near future.”

Liquid Web CTO Ryan MacDonald noted the firm’s on-demand servers can offer “up to 15 percent” better GPU performance over virtualized environments, or at an equal-to-lower cost.

“Our on-demand NVIDIA-powered servers with pre-configured GPU stack let customers quickly deploy AI/ML and deep learning workloads — maximizing performance and value while focusing on results rather than setup,” says Ryan MacDonald, Chief Technology Officer of Liquid Web.

What users can expect from Liquid Web’s GPU hosting service

The service will leverage a range of top-tier GPUs, including Nvidia L4,L40S, and H100 GPUs. These, the company said, offer “exceptional processing speeds” that are ideal for AI and machine learning applications, large language model (LLM) development, deep learning, and data analytics.

As part of the service, users will also have access to on-demand bare metal options, which Liquid Web will enable enterprises to “gain full control” over their infrastructure.

The move from Liquid Web comes amid a period of sharpened enterprise focus on AI, with enterprises ramping up development globally.

Analysis from Grand View Research shows the globally AI market is expected to top $1.81 trillion in value by 2030, marking a significant increase compared to 2023, where the market value stood at $196.63 billion.

There have been growing concerns over both costs and hardware availability throughout this period, however, with GPU prices skyrocketing and wait times for hardware growing.

That’s why flexibility is a key focus for the service, according to Liquid Web. The company noted that users can customize GPU hosting to meet specific performance needs on an as-needed basis, and aims to target companies ranging from startup level to larger enterprises.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search. You can literally snap a photo of a weird-looking kitchen tool and ask, “What is this, and how do I use it?” and get a helpful answer, complete with shopping links and YouTube demos. AI Eyes If you take a picture of a bookshelf, a plate of food, or the chaotic interior of your junk...

Passing the torch to a new era of open source technology

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support The practice of developing publicly accessible technologies and preventing monopolies of privately-owned, closed-source infrastructure was a pivotal technological movement in the 1990s and 2000s. The open source software movement was viewed at the time as a form of ‘digital civil duty’, democratizing access to technology. However, while the movement's ethos underpins much of today’s technological landscape, its evolution has proven to be a challenge for its pioneers. Hurdles Facing Young Developers Open source models successfully paved a path for the development of a multitude of technologies, cultivating a culture of knowledge sharing, collaboration , and community along the way. Unfortunately, monetizing such projects has always been a challenge, and ensuring contributors are compensated for their contributions working on them, even more so. On the other hand, closed-source projects offer greater control, security, and competitive advant...
