On-prem + cloud, controlled burstMost popular
Baseline on your hardware, peaks in the cloud, the invoice under control
It is the architecture most of our clients choose: the baseline amortized on dedicated hardware, cloud elasticity for exceptional campaigns. No compromise on data sovereignty.
Use cases
- Stable inference on-prem, occasional training campaigns in the cloud
- Sensitive data on-prem, anonymized compute offloaded
- Progressive migration from cloud to dedicated without a big bang
- Business continuity: cloud failover in case of major incident
Reference architecture
- Dedicated baseline
- Bare metal GPU / HPC cluster sized on measured sustained load, not on peaks.
- Cloud burst
- Automated extension to AWS, GCP or Azure with budget caps and automatic shutdown.
- Control plane
- Unified orchestration (federated Kubernetes or Slurm + burst): a single entry point for your teams.
- Data
- Selective replication, end-to-end encryption and residency policies per data class.

FAQ
- Why is the hybrid farm your most requested offer?
- Because it removes the dilemma: you amortize stable load on hardware you own, and keep cloud elasticity for the exceptional. Most organizations have exactly that load profile.
- How do you prevent cloud cost drift?
- Hard budget caps, automatic resource shutdown at campaign end, real-time alerting and monthly consumption reviews. Burst is a tool, never a silent subscription.
