Ori Industries
Pros
- + Published, competitive GPU rates (H100 $2.90/h, H200 $3.50/h) with per-minute billing and no ingress or egress fees
- + Generous per-GPU host resources (24 vCPU / 240 GB RAM / 3 TB storage on single-H100 instances) and preinstalled ML stacks
- + Real UK data sovereignty option: first UK H200 deployment at Kao Data's Harlow campus (DGX-Ready, renewable-powered)
- + Single-GPU entry point (V100 $0.83/h) plus serverless Kubernetes, scale-to-zero inference, and 1,000+ GPU private clouds
Cons
- - No published uptime SLA and limited operational track record — contractual terms must be negotiated
- - Region list unpublished despite '15+ regions' claims; independent documentation and community coverage are thin
- - Young, venture-stage company mid-merger with Radiant — roadmap and pricing continuity carry counterparty risk
- - Compute-and-inference scope only: no managed database or full application platform; no free tier for evaluation
Google Cloud (GCP)
Pros
- + Best published SLA set in the comparison: 99.99% multi-zone, 99.9% single-instance
- + 43 regions and 130 zones with per-region price variance you can trade against latency
- + Per-second billing and three discount levers — Spot up to 91% off, commitments up to 55–70%
- + Live migration through host maintenance; deep integration with GKE, BigQuery, Vertex AI
- + Real free entry: $300 trial credit that never auto-charges, plus an Always Free e2-micro VM
Cons
- - Poor price-performance for plain VMs versus European VPS specialists; no bundled transfer
- - Egress is expensive ($0.12/GiB Premium) and billed as a separate line item
- - Sustained use discounts don't apply to E2 and N4 — the families entry buyers choose
- - Budgets alert but don't cap Compute Engine spend; human support costs from $29/month
