Bare Metal GPUs-as-a-Service (BMaaS) | Rafay Platform
Rafay-powered Bare Metal GPUs as a Service (BMaaS)
Rafay-powered Bare Metal GPUs as a Service (BMaaS) gives customers direct access to the host operating system on dedicated GPU servers, for teams running large distributed training jobs or highly opinionated software stacks that need control a virtualized environment cannot offer.
The platform delivers each server with secure access, networked with the customer's other rented servers and the right storage mounted, running with zero virtualization overhead for maximum performance on AI training, inference, and HPC.
- Automated Bring-Up: Rafay matches the request to inventory, boots and discovers the server, installs the OS, and configures drivers and services.
- Networking & Tenant Isolation: North-south through the Tenant Access Network, east-west over InfiniBand, with EVPN and Pkey isolation via NVIDIA UFM so one tenant's traffic never reaches another's.
- Storage, Access & Firewall: Per-tenant storage mounted to the server, SSH via password or key, a public IP from the tenant pool, and automated security groups and NAT rules.
