Vantage Compute vs GPU Orchestration Tools
Scheduling is one part of the problem. Vantage Compute is built for the layer between the hardware and its users: identity, access policy, audit and scheduling together.
| GPU orchestration tools | Vantage Compute | |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Scheduling first; the rest varies by tool | Identity, access policy, audit and scheduling together |
| Schedulers | Varies by tool | Slurm and Kubernetes under one control plane |
| Identity | Varies by tool | Your own identity provider (SSO and RBAC), one identity on every cluster |
| Audit trail | Varies by tool | Every action logged and tied to one identity |
| Chargeback | Varies by tool | By team, project and GPU-hour, with quotas enforced by policy |
When each option fits
GPU orchestration tools: the better fit when
- Scheduling is the only gap you have.
- Identity, access policy and audit are already solved for your clusters.
Vantage Compute: the better fit when
- You need identity, access policy and audit as well as scheduling.
- You run Slurm and Kubernetes and want both under one control plane.
Frequently asked questions
Does Vantage Compute share GPUs between teams?
Yes. It finds idle GPUs, shares them through partitioning, and attributes usage and spend to each user, team and project.
Does it work with the GPUs we already own?
Yes. It runs on your own racks or in your own cloud account, and helps you find idle GPUs and share them fairly between teams.
