Visit Scaleway

Scaleway's NVIDIA H100 SXM5 offering delivers enterprise-grade Hopper architecture GPUs with 80GB HBM3 VRAM, optimized for demanding AI, ML, and HPC workloads. As a leading European cloud provider, Scaleway emphasizes data sovereignty through its Paris and Amsterdam data centers, ensuring GDPR compliance and low-latency access for EU-based teams. This combination stands out via integration with the Nabu AI Supercomputer—a massive cluster of thousands of H100s enabling seamless scaling from single instances to exascale training. Key value propositions include per-hour billing for cost efficiency, strong environmental credentials with 100% renewable energy, and unified services like object storage, Kubernetes, and managed databases. Ideal for ML engineers prioritizing compliance, sustainability, and high-performance multi-GPU setups without vendor lock-in, it supports frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow out-of-the-box, accelerating inference and fine-tuning at scale.

Why NVIDIA H100 SXM5 on Scaleway?

Choose Scaleway for NVIDIA H100 SXM5 if EU data sovereignty is paramount, as instances run in French/Dutch regions with strict compliance. The Nabu Supercluster provides unique multi-node scaling up to thousands of GPUs via high-speed InfiniBand, complementing the H100's NVLink 900GB/s bandwidth for distributed training. Per-hour billing minimizes costs for bursty workloads, while integrated services (e.g., RKE2 Kubernetes, block/object storage) streamline deployments. Scaleway's renewable energy focus appeals to sustainability-conscious teams, and competitive pricing undercuts hyperscalers for long runs. This setup excels for regulated industries needing Hopper's Transformer Engine without transatlantic latency or data export risks.

Performance Notes

On Scaleway, H100 SXM5 delivers NVIDIA-spec peaks: up to 4 petaFLOPS FP8 AI perf, 2 petaFLOPS FP16, with 80GB HBM3 at 3.35TB/s bandwidth. Nabu cluster offers 400Gbps HDR InfiniBand for multi-GPU/node scaling, supporting efficient NCCL all-reduce. Single instances suit prototyping; multi-node via Slurm excels for large models. NVMe storage options provide 10-30GB/s throughput. Real-world benchmarks show 80-95% scaling efficiency in PyTorch DDP. Network egress is solid at 100Gbps+, but exact instance interconnects vary—confirm via docs. No public HGX specifics yet; expect strong but test for your workload.
