Vultr and AMD Expand Global Collaboration with New AI Infrastructure in India
New Chennai deployment will create one of the world's largest AMD Instinct™ superclusters, expanding AI compute access in India
CHENNAI, India, October 21, 2026--Vultr, the world's largest privately-held cloud infrastructure company, today announced a major expansion of its AMD powered infrastructure for enterprise and sovereign cloud initiatives. Vultr will deploy AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs in a new 20 MW supercluster in Chennai, India, creating the country's largest AMD Instinct deployment and giving Vultr two of the world's largest AMD AI infrastructure deployments globally, alongside its flagship supercluster in Springfield, Ohio. With 288GB of HBM3E memory and 8TB/s of memory bandwidth per GPU, AMD Instinct MI355X GPUs provide the performance and memory capacity required to develop and deploy increasingly complex AI models at scale.
The Chennai supercluster is designed to serve AI labs and foundation model builders, AI-native startups, enterprises, and research and academic institutions. It will support demanding AI workloads including large language model and foundation model training, fine-tuning and high-throughput inference, providing the compute capacity organizations need to develop and deploy AI at scale.
"Enterprises deploying AI at scale need infrastructure they can access locally to meet data sovereignty, data residency, and latency requirements," said J.J. Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. "Vultr's Chennai supercluster, powered by AMD MI355X GPUs, gives organizations in India the capacity to train, fine-tune, and run inference on in-country infrastructure."
Vultr's longstanding relationship with AMD spans the AMD Instinct GPU roadmap, from MI300X and MI325X to MI355X and the planned MI455X and AMD Helios rack-scale architecture, together with the AMD EPYC data center CPUs that power Vultr VX1 Cloud Compute. The Chennai deployment extends that collaboration as AMD and Vultr expand access to advanced AI infrastructure through Vultr's global cloud footprint. Looking ahead, Vultr plans significant additional capacity expansion in 2027, including AMD Instinct™ MI455X GPUs and the AMD Helios™ rack-scale AI architecture, broadening global access to next-generation AI infrastructure.
The Chennai supercluster will also leverage the AMD ROCm™ open software ecosystem, giving developers access to widely used AI frameworks, libraries and models, with greater flexibility and choice in how they develop and deploy AI workloads. The open software approach also supports AI innovation in India through open-source software and community-driven development.
