GPUwerk is a specialist GPU cloud operated by PRINT IT! SE, based in Prague with datacenter infrastructure in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. The platform offers dedicated machine rentals with per-minute billing from prepaid credit, no egress fees, and optional 1–24 month reservations. Current catalog: DGX Spark (GB10) with 128 GB unified LPDDR5x memory, RTX 5090 32 GB, and a linked 2-node DGX Spark cluster (256 GB total across two nodes, not one pool) at $1.79/hr. EU data residency (Czech Republic).

Strengths
  • Dedicated machine per rental — no shared tenancy
  • Per-minute billing from prepaid credit
  • EU data residency (Czech Republic)
  • No egress fees
  • DGX Spark (GB10) with 128 GB unified LPDDR5x memory
Weaknesses
  • No workspace backup
  • Container access only — not host root
  • Stopped instances billed at 75% of on-demand rate
  • DGX Spark uses Arm64 architecture — container images must target linux/arm64

Scaleway

Scaleway is a French cloud provider offering H100 SXM and PCIe GPU instances alongside a full cloud platform — managed Kubernetes (Kapsule), object storage, managed databases, serverless functions, and private networking — all within EU data centers. In 2025–2026 Scaleway launched H100 PCIe instances at competitive EU pricing, expanded its managed Kubernetes GPU node pools to support multi-GPU workloads natively, and introduced a GPU-optimized bare-metal tier for latency-sensitive inference. As a subsidiary of Iliad Group (one of France's largest telecoms), Scaleway has the financial backing and network infrastructure to compete seriously in the EU GPU market. A strong choice for European teams that want GPU compute and a full cloud stack from a single EU-sovereign provider, avoiding US hyperscaler data residency concerns entirely.

Strengths
  • Full EU-sovereign cloud stack — GPU, Kubernetes, storage, databases in one platform
  • H100 SXM and PCIe at competitive European pricing
  • Managed Kubernetes with native GPU node pool support
  • Backed by Iliad Group — strong financial stability and network infrastructure
  • GPU-optimized bare-metal tier for low-latency inference
Weaknesses
  • GPU catalog narrower than AWS, GCP, or Azure
  • Primarily EU regions — limited options for US or APAC deployments
  • ML ecosystem tooling less mature than hyperscalers
Best For
EU-based teams needing GPU + full cloud stack from one EU-sovereign providerOrganizations avoiding US hyperscaler data residency concernsTeams running GPU training alongside managed Kubernetes workloadsFrench and European enterprises with strict data sovereignty requirements
