What “dedicated” means in a dedicated GPU cluster

No shared tenancy, no noisy neighbors, no surprises in the scheduler. A cluster that’s yours, run by people who know it.

“Dedicated” gets used loosely in compute. Sometimes it means a reserved slice of a shared fleet. Sometimes it means a contract term. At Vertical it means something physical: the machines, the network between them and the storage beside them belong to one customer.

The whole machine

A cluster is more than its GPUs. The high-speed network that links them is what turns hundreds of servers into one machine for training. In a dedicated cluster that fabric carries only your traffic, so the performance you measure on Monday is the performance you get on Friday.

Operated, not just hosted

Dedicated doesn’t mean on your own. Our engineers run the cluster day to day: bring-up, monitoring, failed parts, firmware. You get full control of your workloads, and a team that already knows the hardware underneath them.
