Aquanode DocsMulti-Provider GPU Compute Marketplace
We currently offer GPU compute resources from the following providers:
1. Voltage Park
Voltage Park is a next-generation GPU cloud infrastructure provider specialized for AI, offering rapid deployment of NVIDIA HGX H100 clusters with both on-demand and reserved plans. They maintain Tier 3+ data centers, high availability, strong security guarantees, and transparent, competitive pricing.
Key Features
- NVIDIA HGX H100 GPU clusters, available on-demand (as low as $1.99/hr)
- Deploy in ~15 minutes with options for high-speed networking (InfiniBand 3200 Gbps or Ethernet)
- Long-term reservations (6+ months) for large-scale workloads (up to thousands of GPUs)
- Tier 3+ data centers, 99.982% uptime, enterprise-grade security
2. DataCrunch
DataCrunch is a European ISO-certified cloud provider offering on-demand GPU clusters, inference endpoints, and autoscaling containers, all powered 100% by renewable energy. They offer both fixed and dynamic pricing models, support long-term contracts, and provide access to advanced NVIDIA GPUs like H100, H200, A100, B200, RTX series, and more.
Key Features
- Broad range of GPU and server configurations (e.g., H100, H200, A100, B200, RTX6000ADA)
- Dynamic pricing: lower costs when demand is low, adjustable daily
- Pay-as-you-go + long-term contract options with upfront discounts
- European data centers, ISO-certified, renewable energy powered
3. Akash Network
Akash is an open, decentralized cloud marketplace where compute providers can rent out idle capacity and buyers deploy workloads at significantly lower cost. It supports GPU workloads through its “Supercloud” offering, enabled via the Mainnet 6 upgrade, allowing deployment of both high-density (e.g., NVIDIA H100, A100) and consumer-grade GPUs. Akash uses a reverse-auction marketplace model for pricing and supports payments in USDC or AKT.
Key Features
- Decentralized, peer-to-peer compute marketplace
- Lower prices (up to ~80% cheaper vs hyperscalers)
- Supports a wide range of GPUs—from consumer to data-center grade
- Stable payments and USDC settlement post-Mainnet 6
