Our verdict

Cirrascale suits teams that want bare-metal accelerators in a single US region and can commit to a billing term. GPU hours start at $0.27, data transfer adds nothing, and the catalogue runs from NVIDIA and AMD to Qualcomm, Cerebras and SambaNova.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Hardware is dedicated: servers are bare metal, and the entry node, 1x Qualcomm AI 100 Pro, 12 vCPU, 48 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe, is listed at $329.
  • Multi-node work is joined with InfiniBand up to 3200Gb on multi-node clusters.
  • Certifications listed are HIPAA and PCI DSS, covering the frameworks a regulated buyer usually asks for.
  • Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so help is available by phone as well as in writing.

Cons

  • Billing runs monthly and reserved only, so a job that lasts minutes still pays for a full term.
  • Capacity sits in US across 3 locations, so there is no second market to fall back on.
  • The uptime commitment in the terms is 99.5%, which is modest for a production node.

Who it suits

  • Teams running training or inference that need dedicated hardware in one US region.
  • Buyers carrying HIPAA and PCI DSS obligations who want the invoice free of a data transfer line.
  • Multi-node jobs that need InfiniBand up to 3200Gb on multi-node clusters between nodes.

Who should look elsewhere

  • SberCloud, whose GPU list, B300, H100 and A100, keeps the choice inside one hardware vendor.
  • ComputePrices.com, if its catalogue, H100 SXM, A100 SXM and H200, is where the card you need is listed.
  • Salad, where the NVIDIA RTX 3060, NVIDIA RTX 3070 and NVIDIA RTX 3070 Ti range suits lighter work than a committed node.

Who runs it

The legal entity is Cirrascale Cloud Services, headquartered in the United States and founded in 2015. Support runs on email, phone and help centre, so a buyer can pick the channel that fits the problem, from written email to a phone call and a help centre. Everything a contract needs sits with the same named company that runs the hardware.

How Cirrascale compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does a GPU hour cost?+

Cirrascale quotes GPU time from $0.27, which places it 14 of 95 brands on starting price. That is the floor of the catalogue rather than a rate for every accelerator, so the card you pick sets the rest of the bill.

What is the cheapest server I can rent?+

The entry point is a bare-metal node, 1x Qualcomm AI 100 Pro, 12 vCPU, 48 GB RAM, 1 TB NVMe, at $329. Servers are bare metal, so the accelerator, memory and storage on that node are dedicated to the tenant rather than shared. The two ways to pay are set out as monthly and reserved.

Can I pay by the hour?+

Not as a published option. Billing is set out as monthly and reserved, so a workload that runs for minutes still occupies a node for a whole term. Teams that need short bursts may prefer a provider whose billing includes hourly or per-second charging.

Is there an egress or data transfer charge?+

No. Data transfer is No egress or ingress data transfer fees, and the pricing sets out No ingress/egress data fees. For a team moving checkpoints, datasets or inference output out of the region, that removes one of the line items that usually grows with traffic.

Which accelerators can I get?+

The catalogue runs to AMD Instinct MI325X, AMD Instinct MI300X and AMD Instinct MI250. That mixes NVIDIA and AMD Instinct cards with specialist accelerators from Qualcomm, Cerebras and SambaNova, so a workload built around one of those families stays in one place. Multi-node work is joined with InfiniBand up to 3200Gb on multi-node clusters.

Where do the servers run?+

Capacity sits in the United States, spread across 3 locations. That keeps latency short for US workloads and data residency simple, but it also means workloads pinned to another geography need a different provider, and regional choice is not on offer.

Is it certified for regulated work?+

Certifications listed are HIPAA and PCI DSS. Those cover health data and payment handling, which is the usual reason a healthcare or payments team looks at a provider first. Anything beyond that set of frameworks needs its own check before a longer term is signed.

What uptime is promised?+

The terms set out an uptime commitment of 99.5%, and that is the number to hold the provider to. Workloads that cannot absorb an interruption of that order should either ask for a higher figure in writing or keep a fallback host ready elsewhere.
