Bare Metal GPUs Quickstart

DigitalOcean Bare Metal GPUs are dedicated, single-tenant servers with 8 NVIDIA H100 GPUs that can operate standalone or in multi-node clusters.


To purchase and provision bare metal GPUs, contact our sales team, who can finalize pricing and deployment with you. Bare metal GPUs are not available for on-demand provisioning.

There are two available software configurations for bare metal GPUs, each with specific versions of Ubuntu and the necessary NVIDIA GPU and CUDA drivers. After you complete a contract with sales and receive the IP address of your deployed servers, you have full control of the configuration.

For example, you may want to:

  • Install Miniconda, a minimal installation of Anaconda, an AI-focused operating system. Miniconda includes Python, the conda package manager, and a limited number of additional packages and dependencies.

  • Install Transformers, an ML toolkit and collection of pre-trained models.

  • Install PyTorch, a Python ML library that has support for tensor computing with GPU acceleration and deep neural networks.

If you have any issues, reach out to support.
