Vultr is excited to announce a new Vultr Cloud Alliance strategic partnership with Parallel Works, a technical computing platform for engineers, scientists, and AI teams.
By combining Vultr’s high-performance cloud infrastructure with Parallel Works’ powerful orchestration capabilities, we’re simplifying the deployment and scaling of simulation and AI workloads across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments. This integration delivers a seamless, flexible, and cost-efficient path to innovation, from computational fluid dynamics to molecular modeling to fine-tuning large language models.
About Parallel Works
Parallel Works is the creator of ACTIVATE, a unified control plane for orchestrating high-performance computing (HPC), simulation, and AI workloads across any environment: public cloud, private cloud, or on-premises.
Designed with engineers, scientists, and AI practitioners in mind, ACTIVATE allows users to create elastic clusters, run domain-specific workflows, and manage complex compute infrastructures through a single interface. With support for MPI, OpenMP, GPU-based workloads, and Kubernetes-native AI tools, Parallel Works enables teams to scale computation without scaling complexity.
Why this partnership matters
Running simulations and AI workloads at scale is often slowed down by fragmented infrastructure, complex configurations, and unpredictable costs. The partnership between Vultr and Parallel Works removes those barriers, giving teams a powerful, streamlined way to execute compute-intensive workloads across cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments.
By combining the power of Vultr and Parallel works, you get:
• Global, high-performance infrastructure and smart orchestration: Deploy HPC and AI workloads on Vultr’s Cloud Compute, Bare Metal, and Cloud GPUs (including NVIDIA HGX B200 and AMD Instinct™ MI325X), orchestrated through Parallel Works’ ACTIVATE platform; no YAML or manual setup needed.
• Composable, predictable, and cost-efficient: Build flexible stacks with your chosen tools. Benefit from transparent pricing on Vultr and workflow automation from ACTIVATE, avoiding vendor lock-in and over-provisioning.
• Hybrid and multicloud ready with compliance built in: Seamlessly operate across cloud and on-prem with Vultr Direct Connect support. Meet compliance needs with Vultr’s certifications and Parallel Works’ IL5-ready, ITAR-compliant platform.
• Built for real-world simulation and AI workflows: Run simulation, modeling, and AI workflows with support for MPI, GPU-based apps, Kubernetes, and persistent services like Jupyter, all managed from a unified control plane.
• Aligned mission to democratize compute: Vultr and Parallel Works are committed to making advanced computing accessible globally without complexity, high costs, or restrictive architectures.
Use cases available today with Vultr and Parallel Works
This partnership will have an immediate impact on high-performance use cases across industries. Here are two examples:
AI-powered drug discovery and simulation
For biotech researchers and computational scientists
Run molecular simulations, fine-tune AI models for protein structure prediction, and automate complex multi-stage workflows. ACTIVATE handles orchestration across Vultr’s high-performance GPUs, helping teams accelerate drug discovery without managing infrastructure.
High-frequency trading and risk modeling
For quant teams, analysts, and data engineers
Execute real-time data pipelines, model financial risk, and simulate trading strategies with low-latency compute. Use ACTIVATE to manage jobs across Vultr’s global infrastructure with predictable pricing, strict compliance, and built-in budget controls.
These are just two of many possible applications. From aerospace design to academic research, Vultr and Parallel Works enable teams to run critical workloads faster, easier, and at lower cost.
