How Zenaws Revolutionizes GPU Utilization

For research labs, educational institutions, and enterprises working with graphics-intensive workloads like AI, ML, or simulations, GPU infrastructure typically means one thing – eye-watering upfront costs and persistent management headaches. 

Yet, what if you could tap into GPU power exactly when you need it, pay for precisely what you use, and have none of the hassle of managing expensive, dedicated hardware? 

That’s exactly the flexibility that Zenaws™ GPU burst model offers. 

What Exactly is the GPU Burst Model? 

Think of it like electricity or water – you don’t build your own power plant or dig your own well; you pay for the amount you use. Zenaws™ brings the same logic to GPU infrastructure: 

• Instant Provisioning: Spin up GPU-powered labs and environments in minutes, not weeks. 
• Pay-as-You-Go: Only pay for the actual GPU hours used, and nothing more. 
• Elastic Scalability: Need extra GPUs for an intensive training session or a weekend hackathon? Burst up instantly, then scale back down when you’re finished. 

Traditional GPU Rigs: Powerful, but Painfully Expensive 

Traditional GPU labs require heavy upfront investment (CAPEX). For example, outfitting a modest research lab with eight A10 GPUs might cost around ₹48 lakhs initially—excluding maintenance, cooling, power, and real estate expenses, which continue indefinitely. 

Moreover, GPU servers typically sit idle over 60% of the time. You’re essentially paying premium prices for GPUs gathering dust. 

Zenaws™ GPU Burst: Smart, Efficient, Cost-Effective  

Zenaws™ transforms this scenario by leveraging AWS GPU instances (available in Mumbai and Hyderabad data centres). With Zenaws™, you only pay for GPU compute when workloads run. No idle time, no wasted resources—pure efficiency. 

Here’s a quick cost comparison to illustrate these savings clearly:

More Than Just Cost – It’s Freedom & Flexibility 

Aside from cost reductions, Zenaws™ unlocks a new level of agility:  

• Immediate Access: Quickly set up GPU clusters for training, research, or hackathons. 
• Zero Maintenance: Forget firmware upgrades, GPU driver compatibility issues, or cooling failures. Everything is managed within AWS data centres. 
• Enhanced Security & Compliance: Rely on AWS’s proven security controls, freeing your staff from managing physical security or cybersecurity for on-prem rigs.
