Question 7

What the minimum and maximum duration for GPU cluster rentals?

Accepted Answer

The GPU cluster can be reserved for a minimum of one hour, and there is no maximum limit on the duration.

Question 8

How do you preserve data privacy and security?

Accepted Answer

Our io agent ensures that unauthorized containers are not running on a hired GPU to eliminate any risks. When a node is hired, the data existing between one worker node and the other worker node is encrypted in the docker file system. Any network traffic is also on a mesh VPN, which ensures maximum security. We also prioritize suppliers with SOC2 compliance and continue to stress the importance of SOC2 compliance with our suppliers.
