Why This Expansion Matters
Vultr was among the first cloud providers to deploy AMD Instinct MI325X and MI355X GPUs, and this massive expansion reinforces their position as an AI infrastructure leader. The Springfield facility marks Vultr’s first cloud data center in Ohio, strengthening its Midwest presence while positioning Ohio as a growing AI hub.
According to Andrew Dieckmann, AMD’s corporate vice president and general manager of the Data Center GPU Business Unit, the collaboration delivers large-scale AI compute meeting the demands of the most challenging AI workloads.
Full-Stack Infrastructure Approach
The partnership extends beyond GPUs. Vultr’s strategic collaboration with AMD includes full-stack infrastructure featuring AMD EPYC 4005 Series processors and the recently launched Vultr VX1 Cloud Compute. This comprehensive approach ensures optimized performance from processors to accelerators.
Looking ahead, Vultr plans to integrate the next-generation AMD Instinct MI450 series GPUs, ensuring customers have access to cutting-edge AI technology as it becomes available.
Strategic Support & Market Position
The expansion received backing from Ohio’s Governor’s Office, Department of Development, JobsOhio, Dayton Development Coalition, Greater Springfield Partnership, and the City of Springfield—demonstrating strong public-private collaboration.
With over 1.5 million customers across 185 countries, Vultr has built its reputation on accessible, high-performance cloud infrastructure. The recent $3.5 billion valuation from LuminArx Capital Management and AMD Ventures validates this strategy.
