NVIDIA and IBM Cloud: Where better gaming performance lives
Whether you develop online games, build game platforms or create gaming innovations, IBM Cloud can help you deliver gaming experiences that perform and engage.
IBM Cloud GPUs versus the competition
Research shows you get more freedom of choice and flexibility with IBM Cloud GPU servers.
IBM versus AWS
IBM Cloud bare metal servers with GPUs deliver better performance per dollar on five TensorFlow machine-learning models than Amazon Web Services servers.
IBM versus Google Cloud
IBM Cloud offers GPUs on both bare metal and virtual servers. The only GPU options from Google Cloud are virtual server instances, as Google Cloud doesn’t offer bare metal instances.
IBM versus Alibaba
Both IBM Cloud and Alibaba Cloud offer GPU options on virtual machines, but IBM is unique in that they offer bare metal GPU as an option.

Spectral MD transforms burn care with advanced imaging and machine learning
Diagnosing the severity of burns is hard; even the most experienced doctors frequently make errors. Harnessing the power of GPUs for cloud servers on IBM Cloud bare metal servers, Spectral MD, Inc. increased the speed of its DeepView Wound Imaging System, enabling more accurate diagnoses that drive better outcomes for patients and lower costs for healthcare providers.
“ Thanks to the computational power of the GPU processors, we can complete in less than one day machine learning tasks that previously would have taken us up to 10 days. ”
— Jeffrey Thatcher, PhD Chief Scientist, Spectral MD
