Where we recommend them
- Best for European hosting, an alternative.
Worth knowing before you sign
- On-demand list prices are among the highest in our data (H100 $4.987, B200 $9.138 per GPU-hour); spot is about half (H100 $2.494).
- ClusterMAX 3.0 found that Slinky (Slurm on Kubernetes) lacked Pyxis/Enroot, cross-node file locks were not enforced on shared storage, and health checks ran without auto-remediation.
- All regions are in Finland.
- Renamed from DataCrunch (verda.com since 2025-11-17); older reviews and docs use the DataCrunch name.
