Question 1

What is GPCN?

Accepted Answer

GPCN, or Global Private Cloud Network, provides global on-demand access to private CPU, GPU and storage through a consistent consumption-based operating model.

Question 2

Is GPCN a public cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN is positioned as a network of on-demand private-clouds, providing private virtual infrastructure through a global service model rather than operating as a traditional shared public-cloud platform.

Question 3

Is GPCN intended to replace AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN is designed to complement and extend existing cloud strategies, giving organizations another option for workloads that benefit from private infrastructure, dedicated resources, greater data control and predictable economics. Customers can use GPCN alongside AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or on-premises environments as part of a hybrid or multi-cloud architecture.

Question 4

Do I have to replace my entire infrastructure environment to use GPCN?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN can be evaluated one workload at a time.

Question 5

What infrastructure does GPCN provide?

Accepted Answer

GPCN provides private virtual CPU, GPU, memory and storage with private networking.

Question 6

Is every GPCN VM a dedicated physical server?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN provides private virtual infrastructure, not a dedicated physical server for every VM. Customers receive isolated compute resources within a private environment, combining the control and security benefits of private infrastructure with the flexibility and simplicity of cloud consumption.

Question 7

Does GPCN offer GPU infrastructure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GPCN provides on-demand access to enterprise GPU infrastructure from NVIDIA for AI, machine learning, rendering and other accelerated workloads. Customers benefit from dedicated GPU access, consistent performance, private infrastructure and predictable economics without the complexity of building and managing their own GPU environment.

Question 8

What storage options are available?

Accepted Answer

GPCN supports SSD and NVMe storage for enterprise and data-intensive workloads. Available capacity and service options should be confirmed for the selected workload and location.

Question 9

Where is GPCN available?

Accepted Answer

GPCN currently operates across a growing footprint of more than 30+ data centers, 26+ cities and 10+ countries.

Accepted Answer

Yes. GPCN supports customer-directed placement across supported locations. The appropriate location should be selected based on application, data, user, connectivity, recovery and governance requirements.

Question 11

Is every GPCN service available in every location?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN’s available compute, GPU, storage and other infrastructure options can vary by location based on the capabilities of each participating provider. Our global network allows customers to select the location and infrastructure that best aligns with their workload, performance, data residency and business requirements.

Question 12

Does GPCN require a long-term commitment?

Accepted Answer

No. GPCN is built around a flexible, on-demand consumption model without long-term commitments, allowing customers to scale infrastructure as their needs change. For customers who prefer longer-term commitments, GPCN can also offer term-based options that provide additional pricing and capacity benefits.

Question 13

Does GPCN charge egress fees?

Accepted Answer

GPCN provides zero egress fees across the GPCN network. External cloud providers, carriers, connectivity services or other third parties may impose separate charges.

Question 14

Is GPCN always less expensive than public cloud?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. GPCN’s value is about better overall infrastructure economics, not simply a lower unit price. With predictable pricing, no egress fees within the GPCN service model, dedicated resources and fewer ancillary charges, GPCN can deliver significant cost advantages for many workloads while also providing greater control and predictability.
