GPU hosting in Georgia and the Southeast
Most GPU capacity in the United States sits in a handful of very large markets, which means teams in Georgia and the wider Southeast either ship data a long way or accept whatever latency the nearest hyperscale region offers. Our GPU capacity runs from our Alpharetta, GA facility, inside the Atlanta metro — close enough that training data staged on your own hardware does not cross the country to reach a GPU, and close enough to visit.
For teams already colocating in Atlanta, that proximity is the point: your storage and our GPUs can sit on the same fabric rather than talking over the public internet. See colocation and BYO hardware and our zones.
Dedicated GPU clusters, not shared slices
A GPU cluster solution is only useful if the cards are actually yours for the duration. We allocate dedicated GPUs with PCIe passthrough rather than time-slicing a card between tenants, so throughput does not move because someone else started a job. For multi-GPU training, interconnect and data-path bandwidth matter as much as the cards themselves — a cluster that starves its GPUs is an expensive way to wait.
Training and inference have different shapes
Training is throughput-bound and tolerant of latency: you want maximum sustained utilisation and enough storage bandwidth to keep the pipeline fed. Inference is the opposite — modest compute, but tail latency determines whether the product feels responsive. Sizing one deployment for both usually means overpaying for training capacity that sits idle, or under-serving inference at peak. We size them separately, and the low-latency path in front of inference is described under network fabric.
Cooling is the constraint nobody quotes
Modern accelerators are thermally limited long before they are compute limited, and a card that throttles is a card you are paying full price for at reduced output. Our facility runs both air and liquid cooling for GPU-dense deployments, which is what makes sustained training runs viable rather than merely possible.
Transparent pricing, no egress penalty
GPU hosting bills are frequently dominated by things that are not the GPU: data transfer to get training sets in, transfer to get checkpoints out, and storage charged at a premium tier. We do not charge egress fees, and block storage for datasets and checkpoints is priced on capacity — see storage architecture and pricing. If you are comparing against a hyperscaler quote, include the transfer line; it is often where the difference is.
Benchmark before you commit
The right way to choose GPU infrastructure is to run your own workload on it — not a synthetic benchmark, and not a spec sheet comparison. We will give you access to benchmark against your real training or inference job, on the configuration you would actually buy, before there is a contract.
Bring your own GPUs
If you already own accelerators, you do not have to rent ours to use our facility. Rack your cards with us and connect them to our storage and network under colocation, or run a mixed estate where your hardware and our cloud share one VPC — see hybrid cloud. Either way our engineers can operate it for you under managed services.

Frequently asked questions
Does MarQi Cloud offer dedicated GPU servers for AI and machine learning?
Yes. MarQi Cloud provides dedicated GPU clusters for machine learning, deep learning, and high-performance AI compute. Every GPU node is fully dedicated — no shared environments, no noisy neighbors. GPU and NVMe storage devices use direct PCIe hardware passthrough, delivering full silicon performance to your workloads with no virtualization overhead.
What does no GPU oversubscription mean?
GPU oversubscription means a provider allocates the same GPU resources to multiple tenants expecting they won't all use them simultaneously — similar to airline overbooking. MarQi Cloud does not oversubscribe GPU resources. The GPU allocation you reserve is guaranteed to be available at full capacity whenever your workload runs.
Does MarQi Cloud charge egress fees on GPU workload data transfers?
No. MarQi Cloud does not charge egress fees on any plan. Data movement between your GPU nodes, storage layer, and other parts of your environment generates no per-gigabyte charge. For AI and ML teams running iterative training pipelines that move large datasets repeatedly, this eliminates a major cost line that compounds on hyperscaler platforms.
What cooling systems support high-density GPU deployments?
MarQi Cloud Zone 1 supports both air and liquid cooling for high-density GPU deployments. Liquid cooling delivers higher thermal stability for sustained high-density workloads — enabling longer training runs without thermal throttling. The facility accommodates configurations including NVIDIA DGX, HGX, and custom GPU cluster builds.
Can GPU clusters connect to my existing VMs and storage at MarQi Cloud?
Yes. MarQi Cloud GPU clusters are hybrid-ready by design. Your dedicated GPU nodes operate within the same MarQi Cloud ecosystem as your virtual machines, bare metal servers, and Ceph storage — connected over private VLANs with high-performance networking. This allows GPU training pipelines to access storage and databases without incurring egress fees or traversing the public internet.
What GPU hardware is available at MarQi Cloud?
MarQi Cloud offers dedicated GPU nodes with direct PCIe passthrough and NVMe storage. Specific GPU hardware availability including NVIDIA configurations can be discussed during a capacity scoping call. Our engineers provide architecture guidance for single-node deployments through large multi-GPU cluster designs.
Is there engineer support for GPU cluster architecture and configuration?
Yes. MarQi Cloud provides direct engineer-led support — not tier-1 scripts. Infrastructure engineers are available for GPU cluster architecture design, network topology planning, storage configuration, and ongoing operational support. For large GPU cluster deployments, we provide architecture guidance before provisioning begins.
