Scaleway Earns Silver Rating in SemiAnalysis's Inaugural GPU Cloud ClusterMAX™ Ranking

Scaleway has earned a Silver rating in the first-ever ClusterMAX™ Rating System, a new benchmark for evaluating GPU cloud providers worldwide.

Created by SemiAnalysis, an analyst firm known for its deep expertise in GPUs and AI, the ranking evaluates the full experience of renting GPU infrastructure. ClusterMAX™ covers 90% of the global market and examines key factors like technical expertise, job schedulers, storage design, network performance, and platform reliability.

SemiAnalysis praised Scaleway for its “seamless container integration within SLURM,” the open-source workload manager used in many HPC environments. They also highlighted the team’s “strong understanding of these technologies,” showing the depth of Scaleway’s technical work.

Scaleway is also an official NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP), validating its ability to deliver fast and reliable GPU infrastructure that meets industry standards. Significantly, all other providers with a Silver rating or higher are either US hyperscalers or fully specialized GPU providers. Scaleway stands out as a European cloud provider committed to delivering powerful, sovereign AI infrastructure that’s accessible to builders across Europe.

Scaleway now offers both DGX and HGX platforms, a setup that aligns with SemiAnalysis’s advice on scaling cost-effectively. They are also working on improvements like better automation, stronger system checks, and smarter monitoring tools. These updates will help existing and future customers run large-scale AI workloads more smoothly and reliably.

“We’re proud to be recognized by SemiAnalysis,” said Frédéric Bardolle, who leads AI initiatives at Scaleway. “It shows that Scaleway is right up there with the top GPU cloud providers. The feedback is incredibly valuable as we keep improving our platform to better serve our customers. That’s what drives us every day.”
