What Storage Options Are Available with GPU Cloud Server?

Cyfuture Cloud offers versatile storage solutions tailored for GPU cloud server, including high-speed NVMe SSDs, scalable block storage, object storage, and network-attached options to support AI, ML, and high-performance computing workloads. These options ensure low-latency access, high throughput, and flexibility for data-intensive tasks.

Cyfuture Cloud's GPU cloud servers provide:

NVMe SSD Storage: Ultra-fast local storage for rapid data access and intensive workloads.

Scalable Block Storage: Expandable volumes attachable to instances for persistent data.

Object Storage: Cost-effective, unlimited scalability for unstructured data like datasets.

Network File Systems: NFS or similar for shared access across multiple GPU instances.

These integrate seamlessly with NVIDIA GPUs for optimal performance in AI training and inference.

Overview of Cyfuture Cloud GPU Servers

Cyfuture Cloud specializes in dedicated GPU server hosted in Tier-3 data centers, featuring NVIDIA GPUs like H100 GPU, A100 GPU, and others for AI/ML applications. Storage is a critical component, designed for high IOPS and low latency to match GPU compute power. Servers support rapid provisioning within hours, with 10Gbps network bandwidth enabling fast data transfers.

Key storage features include dedicated NVMe drives offering superior read/write speeds compared to traditional SSDs or HDDs. This setup prevents bottlenecks during parallel processing tasks common in deep learning. Scalability allows users to upgrade storage alongside GPU resources without downtime.

NVMe SSD Storage

NVMe hosting stands out as Cyfuture Cloud's flagship storage for GPU servers, providing prompt data saving and retrieval. Ideal for applications needing quick access, such as model training where datasets load in seconds. NVMe delivers thousands of IOPS, far exceeding SATA SSDs, ensuring GPUs remain fully utilized.​

Configurations typically range from 1TB to multiple terabytes per server, with RAID options for redundancy. This local storage excels in temporary workspaces or scratch spaces during computations.​

Block and Object Storage Options

Block storage functions like virtual hard drives, attachable to GPU instances for persistent volumes. Users can snapshot and resize these for backups or expansion, supporting databases or virtual machines alongside GPUs. Cyfuture's implementation ensures high durability and availability.​

Object storage handles massive unstructured data, such as image/video datasets for computer vision. It's S3-compatible, cost-optimized for infrequent access, and integrates via APIs for seamless GPU workflows. This tier prevents filling local NVMe with archival data.​

Advanced Storage Features

Cyfuture Cloud enables mounting external cloud storage on GPU as a Service servers, optimizing for Linux/Windows environments. Features include I/O tuning, jumbo frames, and caching strategies to minimize latency. Kubernetes support allows orchestrated storage across clusters.

Security includes encryption at rest, access controls, and monitoring. High-throughput networks (10Gbps) complement storage, vital for distributed training.​

Performance Considerations

For GPU workloads, storage must match compute speeds—NVMe excels here with sub-millisecond latency. Users optimize via deadline schedulers or RAM disks for hot data. Cyfuture's dedicated resources avoid noisy neighbors, ensuring consistent performance.
