Compute C3 GPU

High-performance virtual servers with GPU acceleration for AI/ML and Virtual Desktop workloads

Compute C3 GPU virtual servers are designed for the demanding needs of data analytics, machine learning, virtual desktops, and other GPU-accelerated workloads. High-frequency CPUs coupled with NVIDIA L40S 48GB GPUs provide the ideal platform to crunch vast amounts of data into models, perform inferencing, or just support remote workers with high quality virtual desktops.

Note: C3 GPU is currently a Beta service, and subject to our Beta conditions. C3 GPU is available in the "nz-por-1" region only.

Compute C3 GPU Features

Intel Xeon 'Sapphire Rapids' Processors

C3 GPU virtual servers are powered by Intel Xeon Platinum 'Sapphire Rapids' CPUs, providing modern CPU instructions such as AVX512-FP16 vector processing, and AMX for matrix processing used in AI/ML inferencing on CPUs. Fully supported by modern 64-bit x86 operating systems.

Dedicated Resources

All resources (vCPU, RAM, and GPU cards) of the C3 GPU virtual servers are dedicated and reserved, ensuring that performance is always available and predictable.

NVIDIA L40S 48GB GPUs

Each virtual server can be provisioned with one to four NVIDIA L40S 48GB cards, providing a maximum of 192GB of VRAM attached to a single VM. The NVIDIA L40S supports compute-orientated workloads and display-orientated workloads, covering a wide variety of use cases.

Billed by the hour

No upfront commitment or expensive servers to buy, consume a GPU for an hour and only pay for that hour.

25Gbit/s Networking

All Compute C3 GPU virtual servers have access to 25Gbit/s networking and advanced networking capabilities such as Security Groups.

Prices

Compute C3 GPU prices include basic compute service for each virtual server. Operating System licenses depend on the image used to create the virtual server, and may be in addition to these charges. For further information see Bundled OS Licenses for Compute.

Notes:

  1. Monthly prices are based on an approximation of 730 hours per month. Actual price charged each month depends on the number of hours in the month.
  2. All licenses required are your responsibility to obtain and comply with where needed, whether the image is provided by Catalyst Cloud or you have uploaded an image. This may include licenses for NVIDIA drivers to fully utilise the cards. Operating system system licenses may be additionally charged, see Bundled OS Licenses for Compute.
  3. Prices are correct as of 1 July 2025.
