The NVIDIA H200 SXM is part of NVIDIA’s Hopper architecture GPU for AI, high-performance computing (HPC) and memory-intensive applications. It has a high-bandwidth memory of 141GB and 3,958 TFLOPS of FP8 compute for fast AI model training. These improvements are enabled by the hopper architecture on the base level, making the H200 SXM ideal for scaling up models like GPT, Llama 3.3 70B, Mistral, and other memory-hungry models.
Now, let’s look at how the H200 SXM is deployed on Hyperstack and what you get.
When you deploy an NVIDIA H200 SXM VM on Hyperstack, you’re working in a real cloud environment built from the ground up to support demanding AI, ML and data workloads. Every part of the infrastructure is optimised to give you a production-grade experience from day one.
Each VM includes 8 NVIDIA H200 SXM GPUs, interconnected for high throughput and coordinated compute. This design allows you to train large transformer models, run memory-intensive simulations or process multi-modal datasets without splitting across multiple instances.
Having all eight GPUs available within one setup reduces latency between GPU communication and simplifies orchestration. This is especially beneficial for enterprise AI teams running distributed frameworks like DeepSpeed, Megatron-LM or Hugging Face Accelerate.
Hyperstack enables high-speed networking for H200 SXM VMs, delivering up to 350 Gbps of bandwidth. This is critical for synchronising weights across GPUs during training, ingesting large datasets or moving data between storage and compute layers.
Workloads that rely on rapid, low-latency data movement such as fine-tuning LLMs or real-time streaming inference benefit from this network architecture, reducing both training time and cost.
Each NVIDIA H200 SXM VM includes 32,000 GB of ephemeral NVMe storage, ensuring extremely fast data access and temporary caching capabilities. This local storage is ideal for managing training datasets, intermediate checkpoints and high-throughput I/O operations during job execution.
By eliminating I/O bottlenecks and reducing the reliance on external volumes, ephemeral NVMe improves model training efficiency and supports workflows with large data footprints.
With 1.9 TB of system RAM, you can run large memory-dependent applications without the typical limitations of virtualised environments. This high RAM capacity is ideal for workloads such as real-time analytics, multi-threaded model evaluation and in-memory data preprocessing.
It allows you to keep entire datasets, inference pipelines, or application states in memory, helping reduce data fetch latency and increase throughput.
Hyperstack’s snapshot support lets you take point-in-time captures of your H200 SXM VM. These snapshots include the full state of the system, from OS configuration to bootable volumes, making it easy to recover environments, roll back after errors or maintain multiple version checkpoints for model testing.
This is valuable during experimentation or deployment cycles, when being able to restore a known-good environment can save you hours or even days of reconfiguration.
Each NVIDIA H200 SXM VM includes a 100 GB bootable volume, where OS files and configurations are stored persistently. This allows you to maintain your preferred development setup, software stack, and scripts across restarts, making it easy to pick up right where you left off.
Hyperstack offers flexible GPU pricing to support both dynamic and long-term workloads. You can choose between on-demand access or reservation-based pricing depending on your workload.
You can access NVIDIA H200 SXM in minutes via the on-demand option. This is ideal for workloads that require immediate compute power for short-term workloads or testing environments.
For teams running consistent training jobs, long-term research projects or scalable deployment pipelines, reservations offer lower pricing with the same performance.
If your NVIDIA H200 SXM VM is idle, you can hibernate it using the Hibernation Feature, retaining its state and reducing compute costs. It is ideal for projects with downtime or infrequent workloads. The best part is that you can resume operations instantly without setting up the environment again while also saving on idle compute costs.
Here’s how you can hibernate your H200 SXM VM on Hyperstack:
If you’re planning large-scale AI projects, short-term access to GPUs may not always be reliable, especially when demand peaks. Hyperstack allows you to reserve NVIDIA H200 SXM VMs in advance so you can prepare and future-proof your operations.
Here's how reservations can support your workload and how to get started.
When you're running projects that span weeks or months like training large language models or deploying continuous inference pipelines, cost predictability becomes crucial. With a reservation, you lock in a discounted hourly rate ($2.45/hour) for the entire reservation period of NVIDIA H200 SXM. Unlike on-demand usage, which may fluctuate in availability, reserved H200 SXM VMs ensure your budget remains aligned with your usage.
GPU demands continue to rise for advanced GPUs like the NVIDIA H200 SXM and NVIDIA H100 SXM. So often the availability can no longer be guaranteed during peak hours or time-sensitive deployment windows.
Reserving ensures that you always have access to the compute you need, when you need it. This is useful if you're working on product deadlines, training time-bound models or running jobs that can't afford interruptions.
When you're using reserved capacity, it's important to know how much you've consumed, what’s remaining and how usage aligns with your project timeline. Hyperstack helps you stay on top of this with a Contract Usage tab in your billing portal.
