What is GPU as a Service (GaaS)?

GPU as a Service (GaaS), also known as GPUaaS, is a cloud computing model that provides on-demand access to high-performance GPU resources over the internet, eliminating the need for users to purchase or maintain physical hardware. Cyfuture Cloud offers scalable GaaS solutions tailored for AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing workloads, with flexible pay-as-you-go pricing and access to cutting-edge GPUs like NVIDIA A100.​

Core Definition and Functionality

GaaS virtualizes powerful GPUs hosted in remote data centers, allowing developers, researchers, and enterprises to rent computational power via network connections. Users select GPU instances based on needs, such as core count or memory, and integrate them seamlessly with cloud orchestration tools like Kubernetes. Cyfuture Cloud's GaaS platform leverages technologies like NVIDIA GRID for efficient multi-tenant sharing, ensuring high performance without degradation.​

This service shifts GPU usage from capital-intensive on-premises setups to operational expenses, supporting tasks like AI model training, 3D rendering, and data analytics. Providers handle hardware maintenance, updates, and security, freeing teams to focus on innovation. In Cyfuture Cloud, GaaS integrates with broader cloud infrastructure for hybrid deployments.​
