Computer.Com's GPU & IPU cloud services are now available, with free trials and a range of pricing options enabling innovators everywhere to make new breakthroughs in machine intelligence.
Exclusive solution pack
Computer.Com’s IPU-based AI cloud is a Graphcore Bow IPU-POD scale-out cluster, offering an effortless way to add state of the art machine intelligence compute on demand, without the need for on-premises hardware deployment and AI infrastructure building from scratch.
The IPU is an entirely new kind of massively parallel processor, co-designed from the ground up with the Poplar® SDK, to accelerate machine intelligence. Cloud IPU’s robust performance and low cost make it ideal for machine learning teams looking to iterate quickly and frequently on their solutions.
Cloud IPU virtual vPODs make it easy to use IPU hardware by providing direct access to the BOW host machines. Users have full access to each IPU virtual instance, allowing them to install and run any code they wish in an ultrafast connection with IPU accelerators. This also enables the use of ephemeral storage, execution of custom code in input pipelines, and better integration of Cloud IPUs into research and production workflows.
- Connect external block storage for system and data volumes. Easily attach new data volumes.
- Reduced deployment time: compared with dedicated vPOD, virtual vPODs spawned up to 5 minutes.
- Suspension mode to temporarily pause the cluster and avoid unnecessary charges while also being able to resume quickly.

Suspension mode for Cloud virtual vPODs
Suspension mode provides a cost-effective and resource-efficient solution for temporarily pausing a virtual private cloud environment when it is not in use. By utilizing this feature, customers can effectively reduce expenses while preserving the integrity of the data and configurations.
- Only storage and Floating IP (if active) are charged when a cluster is suspended
- Cluster can be easily reactivated with the same configuration
- The network configuration and cluster data are stored on external block storage, excluding ephemeral storage information. This offers the ability to modify the configuration and expand the cluster as required, providing greater flexibility
