Define the production envelope
Confirm GPU model and count, node topology, NVLink or fabric, CPU and RAM, storage throughput, network paths, deployment location, start date, term and acceptance thresholds.
Sourcing and operations
Verranum coordinates the commercial, technical and operational layers required to turn available global supply into dependable customer infrastructure.
From contract to first workload
The exact runbook follows the selected facility and runtime, but every deployment moves through the same six controlled gates.
Confirm GPU model and count, node topology, NVLink or fabric, CPU and RAM, storage throughput, network paths, deployment location, start date, term and acceptance thresholds.
Exchange customer CIDRs, egress rules and DNS requirements; establish WireGuard, IPsec or private connectivity; then load named RBAC roles, MFA policy and customer-owned SSH keys.
Apply the accepted Linux image and pin firmware, NVIDIA driver, CUDA and container runtime. Configure either direct bare-metal access, a Slurm partition or isolated Kubernetes GPU workers.
Run DCGM diagnostics, GPU topology checks, NCCL collective tests, storage and network benchmarks, fault review and the agreed burn-in window before customer acceptance.
Provide endpoints, tenant accounts, scheduler or cluster access, registry path, dashboards, alerts, support contacts, escalation policy and the approved maintenance process.
The customer runs a smoke job, verifies data paths and output, confirms monitoring and completes service acceptance. The production operating cadence then begins under the SLA.
Example handover checks
These examples show the shape of a handover, not universal credentials or a promise that every allocation exposes every scheduler.
ssh -J gpu-admin@<bastion> ubuntu@<gpu-node>
SLURM SMOKE CHECK
srun --partition=h100 --nodes=1 --gres=gpu:8 nvidia-smi
KUBERNETES GPU DISCOVERY
kubectl get nodes -l nvidia.com/gpu.present=true
GPU TOPOLOGY
nvidia-smi topo -m
Operating model
The engagement stays anchored to the original performance and service objectives from initial sourcing through ongoing operations.
Convert business and workload needs into a decision-ready infrastructure specification.
Evaluate global supply options against technical, location and commercial constraints.
Coordinate deployment and validate the environment before production handover.
Maintain the service path across support, incidents, changes and renewal planning.
Supply discipline
We source from established facilities and supply partners, reserving capacity against contracted customer demand. Infrastructure ownership is considered only where the contracted book and financing case justify it.
Requirements validation, supplier qualification, commercial structure, implementation planning and acceptance criteria.
Access administration, service monitoring, change coordination, support routing, incident management and customer communication under the agreed service model.
Capacity expansion, renewal planning, workload transition and secure data handling are coordinated as part of the lifecycle—not left until the final day.
Source with purpose
We will turn it into a scoped capacity brief and a qualified global sourcing path.
