Infrastructure for Neocloud, Private Cloud and Cloud Providers

Powering GPUaas, AI Training and Inference Workloads

OVERVIEW

AI-Ready Infrastructure for Cloud and GPU Platforms

CoreSite provides AI-ready colocation and interconnection infrastructure for neocloud, private cloud and cloud providers delivering GPUaaS and AI-driven workloads.

In addition to major public cloud platforms like AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, there are other specialized cloud solutions. Private cloud providers deliver dedicated compute, storage and networking environments tailored to a single organization. Neocloud providers, by contrast, deliver on-demand, production-grade GPU environments optimized for AI training and inference workloads. Regardless of model, these providers depend on high-density power, advanced cooling and low-latency connectivity to data to achieve maximum performance and scalability.

CoreSite delivers data centers purpose-built for interconnection as well as for GPUs and high-density AI-driven workloads. The company provides cloud providers with a flexible, resilient platform that can facilitate maximum service performance and low-latency network connectivity, reduce time-to-market and optimize security – with reliability and customer support at the forefront.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF CLOUD PROVIDERS?

There are 4 primary types of cloud providers:

  • Public cloud providers (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
  • Private cloud providers
  • Hybrid cloud providers
  • Neocloud providers specializing in GPUaaS and AI workloads

Each type serves different performance, control and scalability needs.

WHAT IS A NEOCLOUD?

A neocloud is a cloud provider purpose-built for AI workloads. Neoclouds deliver GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) and scalable infrastructure optimized specifically for AI training and inference.

Unlike traditional cloud environments, neocloud platforms are built for:

  • High-density GPU clusters
  • Energy-intensive AI workloads
  • Low-latency data access
  • Rapid scalability
  • Performance-driven infrastructure

These workloads demand resilient power, advanced cooling and rich interconnection ecosystems — all foundational capabilities within CoreSite’s data center platform.

CoreSite is certified by the NVIDIA DGXTM-Ready Colocation Data Center program. What does this mean for cloud providers?

Certified as part of the NVIDIA DGX TM -Ready Colocation Data Center program, confirms that CoreSite can provide the power, cooling and interconnection needed to host scalable, high-performance infrastructure for organizations looking to capitalize on rising demand for artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and other high-density applications.

Why are neoclouds emerging as the next evolution of the cloud?

AI-driven initiatives and GPU-accelerated computing have sparked the entrance of a new class of cloud provider. Neoclouds have emerged to meet the rising demand for AI-driven workloads, powered by dense, energy-intensive GPUs that fuel today’s computational demands. Offering GPUs as-a-Service (GPUaaS) to their customers, neoclouds can help organizations deploy their AI strategies by providing the integrated, specialized AI infrastructures without the heavy capex investment.

What is a private cloud?

A private cloud is a dedicated cloud computing environment designed for a single organization. It offers greater control, security and customization capabilities. Private clouds may be hosted on-premises or collocated within a third-party data center such as CoreSite.

Why would a cloud provider consider colocation with CoreSite instead of investing in their own data center?

Some top reasons from CoreSite’s Why Choose Colocation blog, include:

  • Flexibility: From single cabinet to full cages and suites, CoreSite has the space based on your exact needs.
  • Reliability: Redundant power, cooling, UPS systems and generators deliver high resiliency and uptime.
  • Connectivity: Direct, secure access to multiple carriers, ISPs and cloud providers for lowlatency interconnection.
  • Expertise: CoreSite’s specialists help design, manage and support your deployments, including remote hands.
  • Security and Compliance: Robust physical security plus key certifications such as SOC 1/2 Type 2, ISO 27001, NIST 80053, PCI DSS and HIPAA.
  • Disaster Recovery: Tailored DR and backup options to maintain up-time and minimize data loss.
We also suggest this great read - Gartner Market Guide for Data Center Colocation - that recognizes CoreSite and reinforces our role as a trusted partner in the colocation space.
What is the difference between generative AI and LLMs?

Both are AI models, but they operate at different scopes:

  • Generative AI (GenAI): Broad category of AI that creates new content—text, images, code—by learning patterns in data and generating original outputs.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): A specific type of GenAI, such as ChatGPT, that is trained on massive text datasets to learn language patterns and predict the next likely word, enabling natural language generation.
What is AI inference?

Inferencing is a phase within these AI models. Where training (i.e., generative AI and LLMs) is the process of teaching the AI model a skill, inference is the process of putting that skill to use. Inferencing in ChatGPT, for example, occurs when a prompt is entered, the trained LLM performs inferencing by taking the input data, processing it, and generating a response in real-time by using the knowledge it acquired during its training.
