Vultr Announces Launch of Industry Cloud to Accelerate AI Innovation Across Verticals

August 8, 2024

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., Aug. 8, 2024 — Vultr, the world’s largest privately held cloud computing platform, has announced the launch of its industry cloud solution, which delivers industry-vertical, cutting-edge cloud computing solutions that meet specific industry needs and regulatory requirements across the retail, manufacturing, healthcare, media, telecommunications, and finance sectors.

Leveraging Vultr’s global cloud infrastructure spanning six continents and 32 cloud data center locations – including Vultr Cloud GPU accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs for artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) – Vultr industry cloud optimizes specific industry sectors’ infrastructure and operations around the world.

Amid economic and geopolitical uncertainty, digital transformation, and the need for rapid innovation driving cloud adoption across industry sectors, Vultr is the first independent global cloud computing platform to provide enterprises across core sectors with specialized, composable cloud platforms, available in all regions across the globe, tailored to specific industry sectors’ unique AI and digital transformation needs and local regulatory, compliance, and data governance requirements.

Vultr industry cloud is now available across key verticals, including:

  • Retail – enabling enterprises to focus on scalable, flexible infrastructure to handle seasonal demand fluctuations and enhance customer experiences.
  • Manufacturing – prioritizing integration with industrial IoT and real-time data processing for production optimization.
  • Healthcare – out-of-the-box availability of robust security and compliance capabilities to protect sensitive patient data and support healthcare applications.
  • Media and Entertainment – availing high-performance computing resources for content creation, rendering, and distribution.
  • Telecommunications – delivering reliable, low-latency infrastructure to support network services and customer applications.
  • Finance – built-in data security, compliance, and real-time processing capabilities to support financial transactions and analytics.

“While our customers come from a diverse range of industries, they all demand excellence when it comes to their cloud solutions. To achieve this, today’s CIOs and CTOs need scalable, reliable, and industry-specific cloud solutions to accelerate their digital and AI transformation,” said Kevin Cochrane, CMO of Vultr. “The launch of Vultr industry cloud provides the first global cloud alternative to dynamic allocation and high-performance cloud computing, GPUs, storage, and network resources to enhance operational efficiency and deliver continuous operations.”

Vultr offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional infrastructure. Unlike traditional cloud platforms, Vultr’s composable infrastructure integrates end-to-end industry cloud capabilities with its core cloud services components:

  • Software as a Service (SaaS) – Vultr’s easy-to-use infrastructure integrates with SaaS offerings through APIs and strategic cloud alliance partnerships, allowing businesses to efficiently deploy and manage various applications and offering accessibility, scalability, and reduced management overhead.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS) – Providing a robust development and deployment cloud environment, and enabling developers to build, test, and deploy applications without managing the underlying infrastructure, Vultr integrates cloud computing with PaaS, offering tools for streamlined app development, deployment, and multi-cloud flexibility.
  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Vultr’s IaaS offerings include scalable bare metal, Cloud GPU, virtual machines, storage solutions, networking services, containers, and database management, providing flexible infrastructure for various workloads.
  • Data Fabrics – Vultr represents data fabric through its scalable cloud infrastructure, unifying data management across diverse environments. With services like compute instances, block storage, and managed databases, Vultr enables seamless data integration and efficient governance.
  • Marketplaces and App Stores – Vultr Marketplace features a wide array of pre-configured applications and services, simplifying the process of finding and deploying cloud solutions.
  • Compliance and Security – Vultr offers robust security features and compliance tools, ensuring data protection and adherence to regional and industry-specific regulations.
  • Edge Computing – Vultr’s edge computing solutions bring computing power closer to the data source, reducing latency and enhancing performance for real-time applications.

“Vultr industry cloud reaffirms our commitment to supporting enterprises, giving them the adaptability they need to cope with accelerating industry disruptions and unique requirements,” Cochrane added. “With tailored, industry-specific cloud capabilities, our customers can accelerate digital transformation and achieve differentiation faster than the competition.”
