7-day reset cycles don't work when your GPUs depreciate $150,000 a week.
One of the world’s largest hyperscalers needed to run AI training workloads on shared GPU clusters but had to fully wipe and reconfigure each server between jobs. It took 7+ days with manual processes, costing $22,000 a day.
With Digital Rebar, they reset 64-node training pods in 90 minutes. Full zero-touch automation. And they went even further, with full data center refreshes of 4,000+ servers, with automated firmware, RAID, BIOS, and networking updates. Watch the video to see how they did it.
What do your resets cost?
