Stop Losing Money on Idle GPUs

Radio Cloud Native by Mirantis

About

The GPU cloud market is booming - but for NeoClouds and cloud service providers, explosive growth is quickly becoming a race to the bottom. In this episode, Edward Ionel of Mirantis breaks down why raw compute is no longer enough to sustain a profitable business, and what operators must do to protect their margins before the window closes.

Edward walks through the full monetization maturity model - from commoditized bare metal to a fully managed AI factory platforms capable of delivering 50%+ profit margins - and explains why evolving from selling compute to selling outcomes is no longer optional. If you're building or operating GPU infrastructure, this episode is a must-listen.
