Flexential lends solutions to DigitalOcean's GPU infrastructure expansion
Flexential has signed an agreement with DigitalOcean, a cloud-based provider, to support its GPU expansion at its Atlanta-Douglasville data center.
Leveraging a phased deployment approach at Flexential's Atlanta-Douglasville 1 data center, the agreement will enable additional DigitalOcean GPU Droplets, including GPU Droplets across two connected data halls powered by NVIDIA's H200 GPUs and AMD Instinct GPU accelerators.
DigitalOcean said this deployment will significantly increase capacity to provide customers scalable computing power on demand, ideal for AI/ML training and inference, deep learning, high-performance computing (HPC), data analytics, and graphics/video rendering tasks.
A key focus of the deployment at Flexential's site is for DigitalOcean to enhance its presence in the U.S. market while meeting its specifications for power density, service-level agreements (SLAs), and commissioning timelines.
Flexential's facility includes round-the-clock security, dual-factor authentication access, biometric scanners, and monitored security cameras.
Patrick Doherty, Flexential's Chief Revenue Officer, said that "through our FlexAnywhere® platform that enables seamless connectivity and scalability across our national network, this deployment provides the infrastructure foundation for DigitalOcean to scale its GPU Droplets offering and continue to support developers and businesses building next-generation AI applications."
