We’re living in an era where AI, deep learning, and data analytics aren’t futuristic buzzwords—they’re business-critical tools. According to a 2024 McKinsey report, global enterprises deploying AI at scale increased by 50% year-over-year, with much of the surge coming from data-heavy industries like healthcare, finance, autonomous driving, and energy.
At the heart of this revolution lies the NVIDIA Tesla A100, a graphics processing unit that’s not just a GPU—but a full-blown data center engine. Built on the powerful Ampere architecture, the A100 has quickly become the backbone for cutting-edge cloud infrastructure, machine learning, big data processing, and virtualization. And here’s what makes it especially relevant for Indian companies and startups: with emerging GPU-as-a-service models and cloud colocation solutions, owning or accessing an A100 is no longer restricted to global giants.
So, whether you’re a cloud service provider, a research institute, or a startup building your own AI models—this blog will walk you through the current NVIDIA Tesla A100 price, its specifications, real-world use cases, and how Cyfuture Cloud helps you deploy it effectively in a scalable, low-latency Indian environment.
The Tesla A100 is part of NVIDIA’s data center-grade GPU family, designed to handle high-performance computing (HPC) and AI/ML workloads at scale. It uses NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, which delivers a leap in performance and efficiency over the previous Volta and Turing architectures.
Built on 7nm Ampere GA100 GPU
6912 CUDA Cores and 432 Tensor Cores
40 GB or 80 GB high-bandwidth memory (HBM2e)
PCIe Gen 4 and NVLink support
Up to 2 TB/s memory bandwidth
Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) support
FP64, FP32, BFLOAT16, TF32, and INT8 precision support
Put simply, it’s not just powerful—it’s adaptable. The A100 can split itself into up to 7 separate GPU instances, enabling multiple users or tasks to run simultaneously without performance bottlenecks.
Let’s talk about the elephant in the data center—how much does the NVIDIA Tesla A100 cost?
A100 40GB PCIe: ₹8,00,000 – ₹9,50,000 per unit
A100 80GB PCIe: ₹12,00,000 – ₹14,00,000 per unit
A100 80GB SXM4 (for NVLink systems): ₹14,50,000 – ₹17,00,000 per unit
Note: These prices fluctuate based on import duties, local availability, and whether you're buying direct from NVIDIA, OEM vendors, or through cloud infrastructure providers like Cyfuture Cloud.
The NVIDIA Tesla A100 price might seem steep at first, but its performance justifies the investment.
Multiple VMs in One GPU: With MIG, you can run 7 GPU instances from a single A100 card—perfect for multi-user cloud environments, university research labs, or AI startups doing batch processing.
Time-Saving = Cost Saving: A model that would take 8 hours on a regular GPU might complete in 30 minutes on an A100. That’s faster product deployment, quicker results, and ultimately higher ROI.
Supports Diverse Workloads: From natural language processing (NLP) to bioinformatics, data simulation, and 3D rendering, it’s a one-GPU-fits-all solution.
Let’s break down where this GPU really shines, beyond just specs.
The A100 is designed for both. Use Tensor Float 32 (TF32) to speed up training without loss of precision. Run inference at scale with INT8/BFLOAT16, improving performance in production-ready AI apps.
Need to run large-scale analytics in Spark, Dask, or RAPIDS? The Tesla A100 speeds up ETL jobs, pattern recognition, and even interactive dashboards.
For workloads in weather forecasting, seismic modeling, and molecular dynamics, the A100 can slash compute time dramatically. With FP64 double-precision, scientists and engineers trust it for simulations.
With MIG, cloud providers like Cyfuture Cloud can offer A100-based VM slices to clients—each isolated, performant, and secure.
Some companies prefer placing their own A100-equipped servers in colocation environments for security, control, and bandwidth reasons. With Cyfuture Cloud’s colocation services, deploying your own A100 hardware in a Tier IV data center becomes seamless.
If buying the Tesla A100 outright isn’t feasible for your business (especially startups, educational institutes, or AI developers), Cyfuture Cloud provides a more scalable, practical alternative.
Spin up A100-powered virtual machines on demand, hosted in Indian data centers with ultra-low latency and no capital investment.
Get full control over a dedicated server with A100 GPUs—ideal for long training cycles, simulations, or sensitive data use cases.
Need hybrid cloud hosting or colocation? Cyfuture allows you to bring your own A100 GPU hardware, deploy it in their data centers, and manage it with enterprise-grade support.
Unlike global providers where GPU pricing fluctuates or includes hidden charges, Cyfuture Cloud offers fixed monthly rates, so you can plan and scale your projects without cost shocks.

Before you commit to the Tesla A100 (whether you’re buying or using cloud access), keep the following in mind:
Do You Have Enough Workload? A100s are most cost-effective when fully utilized. Idle time = money wasted.
Are You AI/Machine Learning Focused? A100s are optimized for AI. If you're running general web servers, better go with traditional CPUs or less expensive GPUs.
Can You Manage the Power & Cooling? If you're colocating, A100s consume significant power and need advanced cooling—hence the need for Tier III/IV data centers like Cyfuture’s.
Whether you’re pushing the boundaries of AI research, deploying next-gen fintech models, or running complex HPC workloads—the NVIDIA Tesla A100 is a GPU that delivers uncompromising power. Its high cost is balanced by the flexibility, time savings, and multi-tasking performance it offers.
The good news? You no longer need to purchase it outright or go global for access. Thanks to providers like Cyfuture Cloud, businesses across India can now leverage A100 performance locally, via GPU-as-a-service, dedicated hosting, or even hybrid colocation.
So, whether you’re scaling an AI startup, leading a research institute, or modernizing your analytics engine—now is the right time to deploy the Tesla A100, in the way that fits your needs and budget.
