FAQ
Hourly rates for NVIDIA H100 PCIe GPUs typically range from $1.80 to $3.29, depending on the provider and specific conditions of the rental, such as on-demand versus reserved instances, and the type of cloud environment (Community or Secure Cloud). For example, RunPod offers rentals for $1.99–$2.39 per hour, while Lambda prices on-demand usage at $3.29 per hour. Some providers also offer auction-based systems where prices can fall to $1.00–$2.00 per hour during lower demand periods.
Several factors influence the pricing of NVIDIA H100 PCIe GPU rentals, including whether the instance is on-demand or reserved, the choice between Community or Secure Cloud environments, and any provider-specific discounts or promotions. Additionally, factors like data transfer, storage, and additional services also affect the total cost. For detailed pricing information, refer to RunPod pricing details.
When choosing a GPU rental provider, consider performance and reliability (with consistent performance data and uptime guarantees), scalability (the provider's ability to grow with your needs), global availability (to minimize latency for distributed teams), support quality (24/7 customer support, comprehensive documentation, and active user communities), and integration and compatibility (pre-configured environments with popular AI frameworks to minimize setup time).
To get started with H100 PCIe rentals effectively, assess your workload to determine computational requirements, set up your environment using containerized instances with pre-configured environments, optimize for cost-efficiency by utilizing spot instances or reserved pricing, leverage provider tools for management and deployment, and monitor usage to avoid over-provisioning and identify optimization opportunities.
For sensitive workloads on rented H100 PCIe GPUs, address security concerns by ensuring data encryption at rest and in transit, confirming compliance certifications (such as GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2), understanding resource isolation in shared environments, ensuring robust user authentication and authorization features, and confirming the provider can accommodate any geographic requirements for data storage.
