Investment Scheme

Overview

Reserve dedicated resources for 12–60 months. Ideal for projects needing consistent compute power and minimal wait times. Offers up to 30% savings vs. PAYG.

Pricing

Investors have to pay the CAPEX-cost of hardware minus a bonus for investing. This bonus is 6% per committed year up to 30% (5 years). All other costs to run and maintain the invested hardware, including power, cooling, staff, licenses, e.g. are covered by the IT office of the University of Bern.

Features:

  • Pseudo-exclusive access (minimal queuing).
  • Unused resources become free for others via preemptable QOS
  • Funds reinvested in hardware upgrades.

Limits

  • Investments are limited to resource-types which are already available. If we do not provide a certain type of hardware, please get in touch
  • Investing does not come with a SLA or an extended support-contract.
