Everyone says they have allocation. We know who actually does.
Reserved bare metal and GPU-as-a-service for training, fine-tuning and inference, sized to the workload and sourced from operators we’ve already vetted and already have paper with. We hold no inventory and take no position. Your price is the operator's price.
You’ve been quoted by four channels and you suspect three of them are the same underlying capacity wearing different names.
The lead time you were promised has moved twice.
Your cloud bill stopped behaving like a variable cost and started behaving like a mortgage.
Someone has tried to sell you the flagship SKU for an inference workload.
You know there is a trade between term and rate, but not where the real floor sits.
You are being asked to commit for years against a roadmap you can only see eighteen months of.
None of that means you’re doing it wrong. It’s a market with constrained supply, no published pricing, and a lot of people between you and the metal. That’s the problem we exist to solve.
What we do
Sized to the workload, not to the invoice.
Within one hourAcknowledged, every enquiry, every time
You contract directWith the supplier, never through us
No cost to buyersCompensation comes from the supply side, disclosed
Global coverageSourced wherever the position actually fits
Workload-specific guidance sits on the solutions pages, and the placement side, if you hold capacity rather than need it, on capacity placement.
Nodes, not GPUs. Fabric matched to the job, cooling and density to the generation, term to your roadmap. If a smaller, cheaper configuration does the job, that is what we tell you.
Sourcing
We shorten the search.
Contracted with major operators across regions. Who has capacity now, who has it on paper, who has it on a slide. Two or three names that genuinely fit, with the reasoning.
Diligence
We pressure-test your quote.
Show us the quote. We tell you what is actually in it and what is not. Cheaper on paper usually means something has been left out.
Compliance
We run compliance early.
Export control, end-user verification and data residency handled at the front of the process. Slower on day one, dramatically faster in month three.
What we won’t do
The limits, up front.
We won’t quote you. We do not set prices, do not carry stock, and do not take a position. The number you would get direct is the number you get.
We won’t promise a date we have not verified. Availability moves. We tell you what is confirmed and what is indicative, and we mark the difference.
We won’t oversell the spec. Flagship silicon for a workload that does not need it is a bad deal that looks like a good one.
We won’t work around export control. If a destination or end user is a problem, we say so and stop. Every time.
What else we handle
Compute is usually where the conversation starts, not where it ends. Once we understand the build, we can also cover:
Somewhere to put itColocation, power, cooling and density, if this needs a physical home.Space & power
Getting it thereImporter of record, customs, VAT recovery and insured freight into most of the world.
Connecting itPrivate low-latency links between sites, clouds and storage when the workload spans locations.
Making it sellableOrchestration and multi-tenancy, if you are offering capacity to your own customers.Hardware & capacity
Retiring itSecure decommissioning, data destruction and buyback when the generation turns over.
One point of contact across all of it. Direct terms on every layer of it.
What a deal looks like
A worked shape, in nodes.
Requirements arrive in GPUs and get delivered in nodes, and the translation is where budgets go wrong. Four hundred GPUs is fifty HGX nodes; fifty nodes is a fabric decision, a rack-density decision, a cooling decision and a freight plan. Five choices set the real cost of a cluster: the SKU, the node configuration around it, the fabric between nodes, the facility it lands in, and the term you commit to. The GPU rate everyone negotiates hardest is routinely the smallest of the five.
A representative engagement: a team needs sustained training capacity, has been quoted by four channels, and suspects the quotes overlap. We verify which allocation is real, size the cluster from the workload, and put the genuine options side by side with the reasoning: this operator for the fabric, that one for the region, a shorter term here because the roadmap is uncertain. You pick, on the operator's direct terms.
The same desk covers the unglamorous remainder: optics and cabling priced before they become a surprise line item, importer-of-record where hardware crosses borders, and an exit path when the generation turns.
Straight answers
The questions this desk gets first.
Bare metal or GPU-as-a-service?
Bare metal when you want the whole node, the fabric and the tuning headroom, and your team can run it. GPUaaS when you want capacity without operations. The price gap is real but smaller than the operational gap; we size both against your team, not just your workload.
What actually determines the price?
Term, volume, configuration, facility and timing, roughly in that order. Published hourly rates describe the on-demand market, not the reserved one. Reserved multi-year pricing is negotiated, which is exactly why buyer-side representation pays for itself.
Can we see the hardware before committing?
For owned purchases, inspection and burn-in reports are normal and we arrange them. For reserved capacity, we verify the facility and the allocation directly with the operator, and a site visit is a reasonable ask at cluster scale.
What happens at the end of the term?
Decide that before you sign, not after. Renewal pricing, extension options and hardware refresh terms are all negotiable at signature and expensive afterwards. For owned hardware we run buyback and secure decommissioning when the generation turns.
How we get paid
You pay the supplier direct.
Operators compensate us under referral agreements for qualified volume. That is the entire model. You pay nothing incremental, there is nothing sitting between you and the supplier, and it is precisely why we can tell you when a supplier is wrong for you.
Talk to the procurement desk
Here’s exactly what happens.
01Twenty minutes.
We ask about the workload, the timeline, the constraints and the budget envelope. We do not pitch and we do not present.
02We come back by a date.
With the two or three operators who genuinely fit, and why the others do not.
03You decide.
If you want to move, we make the introduction and step back. There is no cost at any point.
