SERVICE | Compute rental and colocation

Rent dedicated compute
at a lower cost than cloud services

For customers whose needs are settled and who do not build their own data center. You can rent GPU bare metal in the data center, delivered remotely over a dedicated VPN, or move equipment you bought yourself into racks for colocation. Contracts run by the year, capacity is reserved exclusively, and unit cost is lower than cloud services.

Ways to rent2typesCompute and data center space delivered separately
PROBLEM | Problems customers face

The workload is clear, but data center and staffing remain gaps

The workload size can already be estimated. What is missing is a site that can carry it: power distribution and cooling for high-power racks, 24-hour on-site staffing, and site checks before equipment moves in. The fixed investment in these three is out of proportion to the workload size.

SOLUTION | KONST's approach

Two ways to rent,
delivering compute and data center space separately

One route rents GPU servers in the data center, with compute accessed remotely over a dedicated VPN. The other leases racks and power, the lessee's equipment moves in, and KONST collects and pays the fees on the lessee's behalf.

  1. Problem

    Building a whole data center for a defined workload is a disproportionate investment

    The fixed investment in a whole data center does not shrink with workload size, so unit cost runs high.

    Solution

    Deliver usage rights to a full batch of GPU servers

    Rent GPU equipment in the data center. The lessee holds the usage rights to the whole batch of servers and can put them to work on compute right away.

  2. Problem

    High-density models need a high-power data center and on-site staff

    Once equipment arrives, you still need a data center with matching power capacity and 24-hour on-site staff.

    Solution

    Self-purchased equipment moves in,
    and KONST provides racks and power

    The lessee moves its own purchased equipment into the data center, and KONST provides racks, power, and network, collecting and paying all fees on the lessee's behalf.

FEATURE | Service scope and specifications

Bare-metal rental and colocation,
with different asset ownership

The two modes differ in who owns the equipment. Equipment that KONST buys goes through bare-metal rental, and equipment the owner already has goes through colocation, so responsibilities and billing differ accordingly.

Bare-metal rental: the lessee gets usage rights only

KONST buys and operates the servers, high-speed networking, and storage, and the lessee gets usage rights. When the contract ends, the equipment stays with KONST, and the lessee does not bear equipment replacement or asset disposal.

Colocation: assets registered in the owner's name

The owner buys the equipment, and the assets are registered in the owner's name. KONST handles racks, power, and network, plus liaison and fee settlement with the data center operator. The owner decides on equipment warranty, replacement, and expansion.

FEATURE | Service scope and specifications

The longer the term, the lower the unit cost

Long contracts for continuous loads cost less than usage-based billing

For the same GPU model, the annual-term unit price is lower than usage-based billing, and the gap grows with longer terms.

Data stays in a known location,
with an auditable path

Physical machines are not shared with other tenants, data moves over a dedicated line and a dedicated VPN, and the path can be written into audit documents.

Equipment already purchased,
site environment and operations staff still needed

The equipment has been bought and is in place, and what is missing is a hosting environment and operations staff. In this case colocation fits better than renting equipment.

PRICE | Pricing and fees

Bare metal per GPU per hour,
colocation itemized

Bare metal is priced per GPU per hour, settled monthly, and uses take-or-pay. Colocation bills space, power, and network as separate items, with space charged on reserved capacity and not varying with power use. Unit prices are calculated by GPU model, quantity, and term.

FAQ | Common questions

FAQ

How should I choose between rental and cloud services?
It depends on how the project is actually used, and the two can be mixed flexibly. Training tasks with stable, long-term full load suit a long contract that locks in cost. Short experiments, inference peaks, or work that must switch on and off at any time suit cloud services billed per second, which give flexibility. Most projects also use a mix by stage: a long contract covers base compute, cloud services top up peak usage, and adjusting dynamically to the actual load is the most cost-effective.
If the GPUs are already purchased and only a site to house the equipment is needed, is that possible?
Yes, that is what colocation covers. Before move-in, confirm that per-rack power, cooling method, and network requirements fit the site's conditions. If a high-density model exceeds the site's power or cooling limit, it can be placed at another site instead.
Under take-or-pay terms, is unused capacity still charged?
Yes. Take-or-pay bills the agreed capacity regardless of actual utilization. The lessee decides when and how to use the capacity, but pays for the agreed capacity whether or not it is fully used, in exchange for certainty and predictability of resources.
How is colocation electricity calculated? Is there still a charge while equipment sits idle?
Space is billed on the capacity reserved in the contract and does not vary with actual power use. Electricity is passed through at actual usage.
When bare metal is leased, who owns the equipment after the contract ends?
KONST owns the equipment throughout, and it stays with KONST when the contract ends. The lessee does not bear equipment replacement or asset disposal.
