Products & Solutions
GPU Instances
On-demand virtual machines backed by NVIDIA GPUs from V100 through the latest Blackwell Ultra B300, with pay-as-you-go and spot pricing. Instances spin up in 1-3 minutes and come with pre-installed NVIDIA drivers and CUDA toolkit. Storage options include NVMe block volumes and a shared filesystem that can be detached and reused across instances.
Instant Clusters
Self-service multi-node GPU clusters giving teams access to 16 to 128 GPUs linked by InfiniBand interconnect for distributed training. Clusters are provisioned on demand without sales involvement, making large-scale runs accessible without long lead times or enterprise contracts.
Bare-metal Clusters
Custom-built GPU clusters designed to a customer's exact specifications and serviced by Verda's infrastructure engineers. Suited to organisations with sustained large-scale compute needs who want dedicated hardware without the overhead of managing it themselves.
Serverless Containers
Auto-scaling endpoints for containerised AI models with pay-per-request pricing. The service scales to zero when idle and scales up automatically under load, making it practical for inference workloads with variable or unpredictable traffic.
Managed Endpoints
Pre-configured API endpoints for running state-of-the-art open models at scale. Designed for teams that want inference access to leading models without provisioning or managing their own GPU infrastructure.
Co-development
Custom full-stack AI solutions built and maintained by Verda's engineers for customers with specific use cases. Covers both the software stack and the underlying GPU infrastructure, working directly with customer teams.
About
DataCrunch (now Verda) is a Helsinki-based GPU cloud provider founded in 2020. It gives AI teams on-demand access to NVIDIA GPU instances and multi-node clusters for training, fine-tuning and serving machine learning models, with data centers in Finland and Iceland powered entirely by renewable energy.
