Vespertec Test Drive Programme is first in Europe to offer customers combined access to NVIDIA’s latest Grace Hopper Superchip and SN5600 800GB/s network switch
Vesper Technologies (Vespertec), a specialist in the design, configuration, delivery and support of high performance data centre infrastructure, has launched an onsite AI lab environment where customers can explore, benchmark and validate cutting-edge computing technologies risk-free.
It claims its is the first site in Europe to feature both the latest NVIDIA Grace Hopper architecture and NVIDIA’s most powerful ethernet switch to date, the SN5600 800GB/s.
Vespertec describes the NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchip architecture, driven by its CPU+GPU coherent memory model, as the pinnacle of hardware for accelerated AI and high-performance compute (HPC) applications.
Complementing the GH200’s bleeding-edge performance and processing capabilities, the lab also features an NVIDIA PCIe-based GPU server, allowing customers to compare and contrast performance across different environments.
The entire setup is linked by the NVIDIA Spectrum-4 SN5600 switch and Edgeware interconnect, ensuring high-bandwidth, low-latency networking throughout the platform.
Vespertec says the Test Drive programme, available via remote access, is particularly valuable for those who need to validate their code’s performance on new architectures, especially given the switch from x86 to Arm Neoverse v2 cores in the Grace Hopper architecture.
With Vespertec having already deployed around 100 Grace Hopper systems, the lab environment is also a powerful tool for troubleshooting and performance optimisation.
The remote access feature enables a wide range of users, from academic researchers to enterprise solution architects, to leverage this cutting-edge technology without geographical constraints. Vespertec’s highly experienced engineers work collaboratively with Nvidia and are available to support users and ensure a successful test drive.
Allan Kaye, Co-founder and Director of Vespertec, said: “We understand the complexities involved in adopting the latest solutions, which is why we’ve created this resource. By offering remote access to the newest hardware, we’re enabling our customers to thoroughly evaluate these technologies before purchase and also providing a valuable troubleshooting resource post-implementation. This initiative is a natural extension of our customer-first philosophy, ensuring we’re there for our clients – from initial exploration to long-term support.”
