GPU Droplets support inference and complex AI workloads

DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the simplest scalable cloud for digital native enterprises, today announced that NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation, NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation, and NVIDIA L40S GPUs are generally available to customers as DigitalOcean GPU Droplets.

These newly available GPU Droplets bring NVIDIA’s powerful accelerated computing platform with best-in-class graphics and media acceleration to DigitalOcean’s platform, and complement existing NVIDIA H100 GPU Droplets and H200 Bare Metal GPUs. By expanding access to NVIDIA GPUs at multiple price points, DigitalOcean GPU Droplets help reduce the barriers to AI adoption and power the next generation of AI-enabled applications – from generative AI, large-language models (LLM) inference, small-model training and fine-tuning to 3D graphics, rendering, and video applications.

“With an expanded portfolio of GPU Droplets accelerated by NVIDIA, DigitalOcean continues to simplify cloud computing and AI for digital native enterprises,” said Bratin Saha, Chief Product and Technology Officer at DigitalOcean. “These new GPU Droplets provide customers with greater access to affordable GPUs for a variety of AI workloads.”

Accessing DigitalOcean GPU Droplets accelerated by NVIDIA offers several key benefits, including competitive pricing, a simple setup process, and enterprise-grade SLAs. Unlike other cloud providers that require several steps and technical knowledge to configure security, storage, and network requirements, DigitalOcean’s GPU Droplets can be set up with a few clicks on a single page.

Additionally, customers using GPU Droplets gain access to the full DigitalOcean product portfolio, including the GenAI Platform and Kubernetes service.

Key features of these newly introduced machines include:

NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation GPU is a powerful single-slot GPU. Key use cases include content creation, 3D modeling, rendering, video, and inference workflows with exceptional performance and efficiency.
NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPU is built on the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPU architecture. RTX 6000 Ada Generation combines third-generation RT Cores, fourth-generation Tensor Cores, and Ada generation CUDA cores with 48GB of graphics memory. Use cases include rendering, virtual workstations, AI, graphics, and compute performance.
NVIDIA L40S GPU features up to eight L40S Tensor Core GPUs that come with 48 GB of memory per GPU, fourth-generation NVIDIA Tensor Cores, third-generation NVIDIA RT cores, and DLSS 3.0 technology. Use cases include graphics, rendering, and video streaming.

“NVIDIA’s latest GPU technologies are helping companies accelerate their AI initiatives—from pilot to production,” said Dave Salvator, Director of Accelerated Computing Products at NVIDIA. “DigitalOcean’s simple and scalable cloud platform makes it easier to deploy advanced AI workloads on NVIDIA technology, so organizations can quickly and more easily build, scale, and deploy AI solutions.”

These new GPU Droplets are currently available in DigitalOcean’s Toronto data centers.
