Build a bare metal server with your choice of processor(s), hard drive configuration, RAM, port speed, and more.
Select the cores, storage, and RAM you need in your virtual server, and we'll deploy it in 5 to 15 minutes.
Scale your storage infrastructure on demand while controlling your costs with SoftLayer object storage.
Applications built to solve the world’s most challenging problems need high performance computing (HPC). Harness the power of HPC combined with the benefits of the SoftLayer cloud and help your apps work faster and smarter.
Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) work in conjunction with a server’s CPU to accelerate application and processing performance and shorten computational cycles. Cloud servers with GPU cards easily handle compute-intensive tasks and deliver a smoother user experience when leveraged for virtualization.
SoftLayer customers can choose the NVIDIA Tesla or GRID graphic cards that best meet the needs of their workloads. NVIDIA Tesla is designed for high performance acceleration of scientific computation and data analytics, and NVIDIA GRID is engineered for professional grade virtualized graphics.
