While their website points users towards a model playground and serverless endpoint environment, the core business is a typical bare metal wholesale provider. Atlas operates under the umbrella of a holding company called VCV Digital, with a sister company in Tiger DC, which is currently building a new datacenter in South Carolina. VCV Digital also owns the crypto company One Blockchain. The company acknowledges that the focus of Atlas is in transition, having shifted focus from the US to Asia and now back again. In our testing, we were unable to spin up/down a GPU Pod for testing.

We encourage Atlas to review our criteria and inform the development of core security, user management, networking, and storage services. Eventually, we would also encourage them to consider developing advanced monitoring, health checks, orchestration software and support to expand upon the bare metal wholesale business in their TigerDC sites and beyond. --- Other Bronze tier providers: - GMI: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/gmi - STN: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/stn - Prime Intellect: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/primeintellect - Neysa: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/neysa - Hyperstack/NexGen: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/hyperstacknexgen - BuzzHPC: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/buzzhpc - Shadeform: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/shadeform - Runpod: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/runpod - Verda/DataCrunch: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/verdadatacrunch - Digital Ocean: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/digitalocean - IBM Cloud: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/ibmcloud - Hot Aisle: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/hotaisle - Vast.ai: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/vastai - CUDO Compute: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/cudocompute - Lightning.ai: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/lightningai - Qubrid: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/qubrid - Latitude.sh: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/latitudesh - Denvr Dataworks: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview/denvrdataworks Full ClusterMAX 2.0 + 2.1 index: https://www.clustermax.ai/cloudreview Full LLM dump of all reviews: https://www.clustermax.ai/llms-full.txt
