Offering overview
Large pools of NVIDIA H100 and H200 SXM accelerators, deployed by the Frankfurt-listed Northern Data Group, are rented out under the Taiga Cloud brand as bare metal-as-a-service or GPU-as-a-service. Clusters arrive pre-configured with managed Kubernetes or SLURM schedulers, autoscaling and self-healing nodes, optional private networking, Terraform support and a self-service on-demand portal, and include NVIDIA AI Enterprise licensing with NIM, NeMo, Triton and RAPIDS. Capacity sits in data centers in the United Kingdom (Chester and London), Portugal (Sines), Sweden (Boden) and Norway (Kristiansand and Lefdal), several of them powered by low-carbon energy, giving European AI labs and enterprises a GDPR-jurisdiction alternative to US hyperscalers for training and inference at scale. The group has more recently been folded into Quake AI. Commercially the service promotes pay-as-you-go billing charged per minute and guaranteed resource availability, but no rate card is published; pricing is agreed through sales for both on-demand and reserved capacity.
