Vultr and Sabey dedicated to powering AI innovation with a reduced carbon footprint

Vultr expands footprint with new NVIDIA Cloud GPU capacity using clean, renewable, hydropower in Sabey Data centers.

Vultr is expanding its Seattle cloud data center region at Sabey Data Centers’ SDC Columbia location.

Vultr’s expansion includes a significant new inventory of NVIDIA HGX H100 GPU clusters, available both on demand and through reserved instance contracts.

The clean, renewable, hydro-powered expansion highlights the company’s commitment to enabling organizations to meet their AI innovation and corporate ESG goals by delivering NVIDIA HGX H100 capacity in one of the most efficient, clean-powered data centers in the US.

Sabey, one of the largest privately-owned multi-tenant data center operators in the US builds and maintains energy-efficient data centers with the goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2029.

Having recently completed the third of up to nine possible buildings across 130+ acres, Sabey’s SDC Columbia location utilizes cost-efficient, sustainable hydropower.

With a 100 ENERGY STAR rating for three consecutive years and a market-leading annualized power usage effectiveness (PUE) of 1.15, SDC Columbia is the most efficient data center in the region, enabling Vultr to efficiently scale cloud computing and cloud GPU capacity with renewable power.

“The transformative impact of AI has created a rapidly growing need from enterprises and AI innovators for high-performance, scalable, sustainable cloud GPU infrastructure. We chose Sabey for our latest expansion of NVIDIA GPU capacity because of our shared goal of reducing the carbon footprint of AI training and inference,” said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr’s parent company, Constant.

Robert Rockwood, President, Sabey Data centers, said: “Given the crucial role data centers and AI play in our lives and in shaping humanity’s future, it’s important that we power them as sustainably as possible. By joining forces with Vultr, together we bring much-needed resources to innovation teams in a way that benefits business, society and the planet.”

Constant, the creator and parent company of Vultr, is on a mission to make high-performance cloud computing easy to use, affordable, and locally accessible for businesses and developers around the world.

Vultr has served over 1.5 million customers across 185 countries with flexible, scalable, global Cloud Compute, Cloud GPU, Bare Metal and Cloud Storage solutions.

Founded by David Aninowsky and completely bootstrapped, Vultr has become the world’s largest privately held cloud computing company without ever raising equity financing.

With a portfolio of more than four million square feet of mission-critical space, Sabey Data Centers is one of the largest privately owned multi-tenant data center owners/developers/operators in the US.

Sabey specializes in scalable, custom-built data center solutions recognized for their efficiency, low total cost of ownership, operational maturity and sustained uptime.
