## Common questions

### What is Cirrascale Cloud Services?

Cirrascale Cloud Services is a San Diego-based GPU cloud operator that spun out of Cirrascale Corporation's hardware business in 2017, when the parent company sold its blade and rackmount server line to BOXX Technologies and rebranded the remaining cloud arm. Founder David Driggers, a veteran of Verari Systems, still runs the company as chairman and CEO. Private equity firm Craftsman Capital Partners acquired the cloud business the same year and remains its backer.\n\nCirrascale's distinguishing pitch inside the neocloud pack is accelerator breadth rather than Nvidia scale. Alongside Nvidia H100, H200, B200, and A100 systems, it offers AMD Instinct MI250 and MI300X capacity, Qualcomm Cloud AI 100 inference nodes, and Tenstorrent Galaxy systems, and it has been a longtime launch partner for non-Nvidia silicon (Cerebras, Graphcore, and SambaNova all used Cirrascale to expose their chips as a cloud service in the 2020-2023 window). The company markets a flat monthly billing model with no ingress or egress data-transfer fees, positioning itself against the per-second hyperscaler meter for research labs, universities, and public-sector buyers, including a named research-compute relationship with Google Public Sector.\n\nCirrascale is a small, privately held operator rather than a hyperscale challenger: it does not publish GPU counts, megawatt capacity, or a datacenter map, describing its footprint only as US-West, US-East, and US-South regions. That opacity, plus the absence of any 2024-2026 fundraise or acquisition of record, places it in the long-tail-specialist tier of the GPU-cloud market rather than the CoreWeave/Lambda/Crusoe scale-up cohort.
