Vultr is launching an AMD GPU supercomputer cluster at its Chicago cloud data center region, as part of a collaboration with AMD, Broadcom, and Juniper Networks.
Hosted at Centersquare's Lisle, Illinois data center, the supercomputer cluster uses Broadcom's Ethernet switchers and Juniper's AI-optimized Ethernet networking solutions.
The cluster, built on Vultr's cloud infrastructure, is comprised of AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and ROCm open software. The number of GPUs in the cluster, or the compute power of the system, has not been shared. DCD has reached out for further information.
“Open ecosystems are the foundation of innovation,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. “Our collaboration with AMD, Broadcom, and Juniper Networks empowers enterprises and AI innovators to harness the full potential of accelerated computing with the highest levels of flexibility, scalability, interoperability, and security.”
“As enterprises look to expand AI investments in 2025, they need high-performance, scalable, sustainable cloud GPU infrastructure,” said Negin Oliver, corporate vice president of business development, data center GPU business unit, AMD.
“AMD is proud to collaborate with Broadcom, Juniper, and Vultr to bring state-of-the-art AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs and ROCm software stack to Vultr’s composable cloud infrastructure to power enterprise’s AI development and deployment.”
Vultr began offering AMD's Instinct MI300X GPUs via its AI cloud in September 2024.
The company's GPU cloud also offers Nvidia H100 GPUs and GH200 chips. In April 2024, the company launched a new sovereign and private cloud offering. The company has a presence in 32 data centers across six continents.
Centersquare's Lisle data center is located in the Illinois Technology and Research Corridor. The facility offers 15MW of utility power and spans 194,057 sq ft (18,028 sqm).
