2018: Cloud computing on GPU (graphic processors)

The service "Cloud computing on GPU" (graphic processors) will allow users to get access to a hardware platform for work with algorithms of deep learning and high-performance computing. Besides, the NVIDIA platform perfectly is suitable for 3D and video rendering.

At the heart of service the most powerful specialized accelerator for work with artificial intelligence and high-performance computing, available in the market at present — NVIDIA Tesla V100. Proceeding from needs of the user, within service it is possible to connect up to 8 computing accelerators to one virtual container or to rent the physical server entirely. It is important that all data will be stored on the servers located in the territory of the Russian Federation.

For performance and convenience of work when training neuronets the cloud of REG.RU is made compatible to the containers NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) — it will save the user's time on deployment and the subsequent work with software. The repository of NGC provides free access to the directory of the GPU accelerated containers which includes the leading frameworks and the software optimized by NVIDIA for deep learning, the NVIDIA tools for HPC-visualization and a third-party HPC-applications.

"In Russia we observe huge interest in artificial intelligence technologies from almost all industries, beginning from finance and finishing with medicine — Anton Dzhorayev, the senior sales manager of professional solutions in NVIDIA Russia notes. — Easy access to computing resources in a cloud and the optimized software of NVIDIA will allow researchers and developers to be focused on innovations and the solution of assigned tasks".

It is possible to order service "Cloud computing on GPU" in a format of daily or monthly payment. The cost of one Tesla V100 accelerator will be from 2500 rubles a day or from 80 thousand rubles a month and can vary depending on needs of the client. The service assumes the free test period (up to 2 computing Tesla V100 accelerators to one container for a period of up to several days).

2014: Cloud hosting

The domain registrar and REG.RU hosting provider started in November, 2014 the IaaS-solution - a cloud hosting which infrastructure allows to implement online projects of varying complexity, optimizing expenses on their creation and support. The service will be useful to both professional developers, and business customers, including startups.

REG.RU began to propose solutions in the field of cloud computing in 2013, and services based on the platform became the first project for clients Jelastic PaaS. Developing the demanded cloud direction, the company released infrastructure service - a cloud hosting based on OnApp which represents the stable, productive and flexible IaaS-platform capable to be configured under any tasks of the client: placement of the high-loaded online projects, volume databases, difficult IT applications, work with IP telephony, mail servers, use CRM and ERP systems and others.

First of all the cloud hosting of REG.RU will interest professional web developer. The platform supports more than 40 operating systems among which different editions Windows Ubuntu Linux, all available OS are preset and ready to work, and acquisition of the license Windows Server is possible directly from the OnApp control panel. A set of thin settings give the chance to install different components of the server software depending on a solvable task. And Xen 3 and Xen 4 saves use in infrastructure of a hypervisor from need to differentiate the server at simultaneous operation over several projects in different operating systems. If necessary, it is rather simple to create templates of the used OS that increases reliability of a system in general and does work in it more convenient.

The intuitive interface of the OnApp control panel allows to work with the platform without special preparation and to comfortably use the solution not only to developers and administrators for whose convenience additional solutions (the VNC console, a possibility of thin setup of the network screen, access with the superuser's rights), but also to eventual users, for example, to commands of startups or the companies of small business for creation and management of complex online stores or databases are built-in.

One of key advantages of a cloud hosting of REG.RU – existence of function of automatic scaling which automatically expands the used resources in process of increase in load of any of service components - the processor, RAM, disk space, backup. In Infrastructure of a cloud hosting of REG.RU the SuperMicro servers on the Intel processors E5 from 200 GB of RAM which are connected to the storage systems (SS) using QLogic FC adapters are used. As DWH Huawei OceanStor S2200T with the SAS disks united in RAID-10 array is used that allows to speak about high reliability and fast speed of work both all system, and user resources.

One more advantage of a cloud hosting of REG.RU is an hourly tariffing thanks to which the client pays only really used resources. The final cost of service forms proceeding from what volume of resources is involved, and begins from 1 ruble for one working hour at the minimum parameters of each of service components. Payment for use of a cloud hosting is charged in the hourly mode off the personal account in a personal account of the user. To observe statistics of the used resources and to control all expenses it is possible online in the OnApp control panel.
