Vultr launches a 20 MW Chennai AI supercluster, 288GB HBM3E AMD Instinct GPUs, expanding in-country compute for AI workloads

Vultr, the world’s largest privately held cloud infrastructure company, has announced an expansion of its AMD powered infrastructure for enterprise and sovereign cloud initiatives. 

Vultr is deploying AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in a new 20 MW supercluster in Chennai, India, creating the country’s largest AMD Instinct deployment and giving Vultr two of the world’s largest AMD AI infrastructure deployments globally. This is alongside its flagship supercluster in Springfield, Ohio. 

The Chennai supercluster is designed to serve AI labs and foundation model builders, AI-native startups, enterprises and research and academic institutions. It will also support demanding AI workloads, including large language model and foundation model training, fine-tuning and high-throughput inference, providing the compute capacity organisations need to develop and deploy AI at scale.

With 288GB of HBM3E memory and 8TB/s of memory bandwidth per GPU, AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs provide the performance and memory capacity required to develop and deploy increasingly complex AI models at scale.

“Enterprises deploying AI at scale need infrastructure they can access locally to meet data sovereignty, data residency and latency requirements,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. “Vultr’s Chennai supercluster, powered by AMD MI355X GPUs, gives organizations in India the capacity to train, fine-tune and run inference on in-country infrastructure.”

The Chennai supercluster will also leverage the AMD ROCm™ open software ecosystem, giving developers access to widely used AI frameworks, libraries and models, with greater flexibility and choice in how they develop and deploy AI workloads.

“India has the talent and ideas to build the next generation of AI. Access to compute at this scale will help turn more of those ideas into reality,”said Jaya Jagadish, Country Head & SVP Engineering, AMD India.
