How Vera Rubin capacity is sold
Almost none of it is self-serve. The first waves go to buyers who reserved early, usually on multi-year terms with money down, against halls that are still being fitted out. If you want racks in the next few quarters you are asking for a slot in someone's delivery schedule.
That makes it a search problem. The big clouds are the visible names, but neoclouds and data center operators with allocations are often more flexible on size and start date. We ask across all of them at once. For the wider neocloud market, see Best Neocloud.
What to ask before you commit
- Delivery date per rack, and the remedy if it slips.
- Whole racks with the 72-GPU NVLink domain intact, or slices.
- Fabric between racks, and whether it is non-blocking at your size.
- Site, power source and cooling design.
- Deposit, prepayment and what is refundable.
- Whether you can start on GB300 or GB200 and move to Vera Rubin when it lands.
