GPU servers for private AI

Run AI on your own server in Ireland, so your documents and prompts are not sent to an outside AI service. GPU memory decides which models you can run.

Chat with open-weight AI models and search your own documents, with your data kept on an Irish server. We can install Ollama, vLLM and Open WebUI for you.

GPU Start: models up to about 14 billion parameters

Large models and fine-tuning

The NVIDIA L40S has 48GB of GPU memory: it runs 70-billion-parameter models with 4-bit compression, serves several smaller models at once, or fine-tunes a model on your own data.

GPU Pro: NVIDIA L40S, 48GB VRAM

Video, design and vision

Hardware video transcoding, 3D rendering, CAD workstations and computer vision for quality control, retail or security cameras.

Dedicated server questions

What is a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a whole physical server used only by your business. You get all of its processor cores, memory and storage, with full root or administrator access, hosted in our Irish data centre in Cork. Nothing is shared with other customers.

Do I need a dedicated server or a cloud VPS?

A cloud VPS suits most websites, apps and AI agents, and starts at a much lower price. Choose a dedicated server when you need the full power of the machine all the time, predictable performance for databases or ERP, software licensed per physical core, a GPU, or a server that no other customer shares.

Are backups and EDR included with every dedicated server?

Yes. Every VMotion Host dedicated and GPU server includes Acronis server backup, stored off-site in Acronis EU data centres in Frankfurt, Germany, and Acronis EDR (endpoint detection and response) security. Both are part of the monthly price, not add-ons.

What is the difference between unmanaged, Managed Reactive and Managed Proactive?

Unmanaged servers come with the hardware, network, operating system install, backup and EDR licences, and support for hardware and network faults; you run the server. Managed Reactive (€129 a month) means we fix problems when they happen: we respond to outages and EDR alerts, fix faults you report and restore from backup, with an hour of admin a month. Managed Proactive (€399 a month) means we work to stop problems happening: hardening, monthly patching, performance monitoring, managed backup and EDR policies with restore tests, a monthly health report from a named engineer, a free migration and four hours of admin a month.

Are the servers new or refurbished?

Every server is an enterprise Dell PowerEdge. Dedicated Start (PowerEdge R360) and GPU Pro (PowerEdge R7715) are new. Dedicated Business, Dedicated Pro (PowerEdge R6515) and GPU Start (PowerEdge R6615) are certified refurbished servers, fully tested before delivery and covered by a five-year hardware warranty. If any part fails, we replace it at no cost to you.

How quickly can I get a dedicated server?

Every server is built to order, so we confirm the delivery date when you order. GPU servers can take longer when graphics cards are in short supply. If you need to start sooner, we can run your workload on a cloud VPS while your server is built.

Which GPU server do I need for AI?

GPU memory (VRAM) decides which AI models you can run. GPU Start has 24GB, enough for models of up to about 14 billion parameters, or around 32 billion with 4-bit compression. GPU Pro has 48GB, enough for 70-billion-parameter models with 4-bit compression or several smaller models at once. We can install Ollama, vLLM and Open WebUI for you.

Where are VMotion Host dedicated servers located?

Dedicated servers run in our Irish data centre in Cork, which is built to Tier III standards and ISO 27001:2022 certified. Backups are stored separately in Acronis EU data centres in Frankfurt, Germany. Servers elsewhere in the EU or in the USA are available on request.

What contract term do dedicated servers need?

Prices shown are per month on a 36-month term and include 23% Irish VAT. Shorter terms are available at a higher monthly price; contact us for a quote.
