Yes, i mean, he could rent a cage and run grumbl it there. It doesn't have to be a standard datacenter server, even though a standard datacenter server would be better and cheaper.
- kube-system 5mo agoA cage[0] is ~100x larger than what you need to host a single server. Many data centers will colocate by the rack unit. At others you can get a quarter or half cabinet[1]. Even at the very largest enterprise datacenters you can colocate a single cabinet.

For sure standard GPU servers are cheaper and easy to maintain. I have two lenovos, bought them used, already EOL.. was cheap and better than any custom gpu rig.. but i was pragmatic, because my goal was to put it in production, and not to research...
- kube-system 5mo agoYou could fit 10 million dollars of GPU rigs in the smallest of cages. A cage is an entire room. You don't need that to run a few servers.
