AI cloud provider Ori Industries is set to deploy Nvidia H200 GPUs in the UK.
First reported by UKTN, the H200s will be available for use starting in January 2025.
This will make Ori the first to deploy H200s in the UK. Following the H200s, an Nvidia GB200 supercomputing module will be rolled out in April.
Unveiled in November 2023, the H200 GPUs are built on Nvidia's Enhanced Hopper architecture, offer 141 GB HBM3e, and 67 teraflops at FP64 and 1,979 teraflops at FP1. The GPUs are notably better at dealing with AI training and inference tasks than the predecessor H100s, with almost double the memory capacity.
Mahdi Yahya, CEO and founder of Ori, told UKTN: “Ori will be the first to deploy Nvidia H200 GPUs in a UK data center, offering them to UK businesses and international companies requiring UK-based compute from January 2025.
“We’re also preparing to introduce the Nvidia GB200 system to the UK, with availability for both local and global customers starting in April 2025. Hosting the GB200 system demands advanced cooling and power infrastructure, and preparations are already in progress at a UK data center.”
In October this year, Ori launched a private cloud cluster comprised of 1,024 Nvidia H100s, and based on the Nvidia DGX SuperPOD reference architecture.
Ori Industries was founded in 2018 and is based in London. The company didn't say where the cluster was deployed, but the company has previously announced deals with data center providers EdgeConneX in Europe and Centersquare in the US. It offers services from 20 locations globally.
The recently launched Oracle 65,000+ GPU supercluster is comprised of H200s. Other companies to have recently added H200s to their offerings include Cirrascale and Nebius.
