Krasnoyarsk ITSHANS, installers and 3D designers talked about the advantages of a virtual dedicated server with GPU

Adminvps service experts told why a dedicated virtual server (VPS) with a video card is needed.

More and more projects are moving to the cloud. And not just in a cloud, but on VPS with a video card – because it is powerful, flexible and profitable. Especially when Idont is about neural networks, video coding, machine learning or 3D-rendering-tasks that require not only smart architecture, but also serious computing force, experts say.

However, users often arise: how safe is this? Can someone get access to your projects? And what if they hack? Or if the provider is not so honest?

“When we talk about the standard VPS, we mean a regular virtual room: CPU, a little RAM, a disk – and forward. But when GPU comes into business, everything becomes a little more complicated. Why? Because powerful projects require powerful data. And powerful data is almost always valuable data. Imagine a company that teaches its own neural network on private client data. Or an animated studio, a new film. Any drain is a disaster. Therefore, data protection on a VPS with GPU is not just “not to forget to change the password” is a whole strategy, ”experts explain.

What risks are waiting for GPU-VPS users? Let's start with the most obvious – hacking. Sounds banal? But it is precisely for this that inexperienced users are caught: they put a ROOT-paralle like admin123, forget to update the system and pass through the ssh botnet pierced through the hole. And then fun begins: miners, trojan, data leak or simply removing all projects without the possibility of recovery. GPU servers are especially tasty for attacking-after all, powerful resources can be used for their needs. Such servers in the black market are even more expensive than ordinary ones.

Another type of risk is the human factor from the hosting itself. Imagine that you rent a GPU server from a little-known company. Everything seems to be good, while one day the administrator of this company accidentally (or not by chance) does not gain access to your disk. Or backups. Or a GPU-chara.

How to choose a VPS with GPU, if safety is priority? This is where the subtleties begin. Cheap – not always bad, but be careful. Before renting a server, look:

• Does the provider have a security policy?
• Where are the data centers located? In the Russian Federation? In Europe? In offshore?
• Do they provide backups, and how are they stored?
• What is the control of access to physical equipment?
• What are the reviews about cases of failures or leaks?
• Good GPU-VPS is not just a powerful server, it is a reliable partner for your business.
