Traditional GPU infrastructure requires significant investment in physical hardware leading to high upfront costs due to ongoing maintenance, upgrades and electricity. With GPUaaS, companies can eliminate the need for upfront hardware investments and convert GPU usage into an operational expense, paying only for what they use. Continue reading as we explore what GPU-as-a-Service means, its key benefits and why Hyperstack can be your preferred GPUaaS provider.
GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) allows users to access and deploy GPUs in the cloud rather than purchasing and maintaining them on-site. With GPUaaS, companies can run large-scale AI training, ML models, deep learning, data analytics and HPC applications by leveraging cloud GPUs on demand. This eliminates the need for substantial upfront investments in GPU hardware and offers flexible billing models that make it affordable for companies of all sizes.
On-premises GPUs offer full control over hardware, reduced latency and predictable performance, making them suitable for organisations with long-term GPU needs. However, they require significant upfront investment, ongoing maintenance and upgrades with high energy consumption. While GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) eliminates upfront costs by offering on-demand access to powerful GPUs with flexible pricing models to ensure scalability for fluctuating workloads.
In 2023, the global GPU-as-a-service market was valued at $3.23 billion and is expected to increase from $4.31 billion in 2024 to $49.84 billion by 2032 [source]. This massive growth is driven by the following factors:
Growing Demand for AI, Machine Learning and LLM
Rising popularity of cloud gaming
Growth in Data Analytics and Real-Time Processing Workloads
Infrastructure and Operational Cost Savings
The key benefits of GPU-as-a-service for businesses include:
Scalability: Organisations can easily adjust their GPU resources to align with project demands for seamless scaling to meet data-driven and compute-intensive workloads.
Flexible Payment: GPUaaS offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model so businesses pay only for the GPU resources they consume, which helps manage budgets more effectively.
Data Security: GPUaaS providers typically implement robust security measures to protect sensitive data so businesses can use cloud resources without compromising security.
Faster Time-to-Market: With on-demand access to powerful GPU resources, companies can accelerate their development cycles and bring products to market more quickly, gaining a competitive edge.
Despite its advantages, GPUaaS also presents certain challenges that you should be aware of:
