Automotive: sovereign supply chain

A cloud GPU is a graphics processing unit provided via the cloud. Companies use it to run demanding computations without purchasing their own hardware: powerful for AI, 3D rendering and simulations, cost-efficient without expensive local hardware, and flexibly scalable as needed – details under Cloud GPU.

Modern vehicle development requires powerful simulations and digital modelling to test aerodynamics, material properties or driving behaviour efficiently. Cloud GPUs enable these compute-intensive processes at top speed – without expensive in-house hardware.

Cloud GPUs offer maximum flexibility and scalability: you pay only for the computing power you actually use and can quickly access more resources when needed. This eliminates high investment costs for your own servers and their maintenance.

Cloud GPUs are ideal for compute-intensive tasks such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD), computer-aided engineering (CAE), AI-assisted software development and autonomous driving. They accelerate development processes and enable more efficient product design.

centron provides the infrastructural foundation: certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz German data centres, a C5 attestation, documented TOMs and isolatable project environments. The TISAX assessment covers your entire organisation – our evidence forms part of your audit documentation.

A high-performance infrastructure: high availability through redundant systems, scaling on demand for load peaks and large projects, high-performance hardware for smooth workloads, Kubernetes or root servers as a tailored solution – and expert support always at your side.

Yes. Virtual machines are flexibly scalable and quickly ready for use; with managed servers centron takes over maintenance and operation while you focus on your business. That way you get exactly the infrastructure that fits your requirements.

The starting prices are deliberately low: Cloud GPU from €92.59 per month and S3 Object Storage from €5.00 per month. New accounts receive €200 in starting credit for 60 days – you can calculate your specific configuration transparently in the price calculator.

Yes. When it comes to development and vehicle data, in addition to the GDPR, the protection of trade secrets is of paramount importance: design status reports and measurement data must not fall into the hands of unauthorised parties. At centron, these are stored in our own German data centres with no foreign parent company – certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, with an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud.
