From Refuge to Revolution: Patmos' Journey into GPU Compute with Hydra Host 

Discover how Patmos transformed its data center monetization strategy through a dynamic partnership with Hydra Host. 

Introduction and Background 

Inspired by the small Greek island known for its historic exile, Patmos began its journey as a boutique hosting company with a bold mission: to provide a safe haven for free speech. Recognizing the urgent need for a secure and resilient digital refuge, Patmos acquired its own data center to ensure complete independence from external infrastructure. This strategic move ​allows​ them to guarantee their clients' security and autonomy, crucial for defending the right to be heard for all ideas. 

Hydra Host, sharing a similar philosophy, was a natural ally for Patmos. Together, we formed an alliance to offer a robust and reliable GPU infrastructure for AI/ML workloads. 

Goals and Objectives 

When Patmos ventured into the GPU infrastructure market, their goal was to penetrate the competitive space and establish a customer base. Partnering with Hydra Host provided the contacts, customers, and relationships necessary for this endeavor, leveraging our network and​ our GPU Marketplace, Brokkr,​ to gain market traction. 

Challenges Faced 

Before collaborating with Hydra Host, Patmos faced challenges monetizing its GPU infrastructure and gaining market visibility in the competitive GPU hosting market. Despite robust infrastructure, they faced difficulties in customer acquisition and market visibility. 

Solutions and Implementation 

Hydra Host introduced the Brokkr GPU Marketplace, a turnkey solution that streamlined the GPU rental process, allowing customers to easily rent GPUs for AI workloads and high-performance computing (HPC) tasks.​

​ This turnkey solution ​allows​ customers to easily log in and rent GPUs, relieving Patmos of the burden of customer acquisition and enabling them to focus on service excellence. With Brokkr, Patmos ​can now ​effortlessly offer HPC solutions to diverse clients, from single GPU users to large-scale cluster rentals. 

Results and Benefits 

The collaboration with Hydra Host transformed Patmos's business by enabling the company to tap into the growing AI market and provide scalable GPU solutions for customers ranging from individual developers to enterprise-level HPC needs.  

Future Plans 

Looking ahead, Patmos plans to expand its data center infrastructure with a new flagship location in the Midwest. With over 20 megawatts dedicated to HPC and higher-than-standard rack densities, this facility aims to meet the growing demand for GPU resources and fortify Patmos's market position. 

Conclusion 

The partnership between Patmos and Hydra Host has been transformative, providing Patmos with the tools and support needed to thrive in the competitive GPU hosting market. Through Hydra Host's innovative Brokkr GPU Marketplace and extensive marketing efforts, Patmos ​has successfully overcome​ the challenges of customer acquisition and market penetration. This collaboration enabled Patmos to offer a wide range of high-performance computing solutions and ​has reinforced​ their commitment to providing a digital refuge for free speech. 

As Patmos continues to expand, our alliance remains a cornerstone of their growth strategy. The future looks bright for Patmos as they continue to build on the solid foundation established through their partnership with Hydra Host, ensuring that voices from all corners of the digital world can be heard​,​ unimpeded and unafraid.
