DigitalOcean Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: DOCN), the simplest scalable
cloud for digital native enterprises, today announced a
collaboration with AMD that provides DigitalOcean customers with
access to AMD Instinct™ GPUs as DigitalOcean GPU Droplets to power
their AI workloads starting with the AMD MI300X GPUs. Later this
year, DigitalOcean will offer AMD Instinct™ MI325X GPUs, further
expanding access to powerful and affordable GPU models. AMD
Instinct™ MI325X GPU accelerators set new AI performance standards,
delivering incredible performance and efficiency for training and
inference.
AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs deliver leadership performance for
accelerated high-performance computing (HPC) applications and the
newly exploding demands of generative AI. With the AMD ROCm™
software platform, customers can develop powerful HPC and AI
production-ready systems faster than ever before. Its large memory
capacity allows it to hold models with hundreds of billions of
parameters entirely in memory, reducing the need for model
splitting across multiple GPUs. By combining powerful AMD AI
compute engines and DigitalOcean's cloud technologies, the
collaboration aims to empower the massive community of digital
native enterprises to integrate AI into their applications and
support the most demanding AI workloads at scale.
These next-generation GPUs have already been available in bare
metal configurations for customers seeking increased control and
computing power. These GPUs are now also available as GPU Droplets
or as DigitalOcean Kubernetes worker nodes. The GPU Droplets are
available both as single and eight GPU configurations, allowing
customers to optimize costs for their specific use cases.
Accessing these GPU Droplets through DigitalOcean offers several
key benefits, including competitive pricing at $1.99/GPU per hour,
a simple setup process, and enterprise-grade SLAs. While other
cloud providers require multiple steps and deep technical knowledge
to configure security, storage, and network requirements,
DigitalOcean’s GPU Droplets can be set up with just a few
clicks.
In addition to these new GPUs, customers will also have access
to AMD Developer Cloud, a new platform powered by DigitalOcean that
is purpose-built for rapid, high-performance AI development.
Customers will have access to a fully managed environment that
provides instant access to AMD Instinct MI300X GPUs—with zero
hardware investment or local setup required. Whether fine-tuning
LLMs, benchmarking inference performance, or building a scalable
inference stack, the AMD Developer Cloud provides the tools and
flexibility to get started instantly—and grow without limits.
“DigitalOcean’s collaboration with AMD is another proof point to
make AI easily accessible to our customers,” said Bratin Saha,
Chief Product & Technology Officer at DigitalOcean. “With
access to AMD GPUs, DigitalOcean customers have an extensive
portfolio of GPUs with the flexibility of the computing
configuration that best suits their requirements.”
"At AMD, we are proud to work with DigitalOcean to provide
developers with cutting-edge solutions for developer enablement and
demanding workloads that require large amounts of memory,” said
Negin Oliver, corporate vice president of business development,
Data Center GPU Business, at AMD. “Together, AMD and DigitalOcean
are committed to providing the critical innovative technologies
required to support the evolving needs of growing tech
businesses.”
