Scaleway GPU Instances internet and Block Storage bandwidth overview

Reviewed on 12 May 2025 • Published on 07 January 2025

Scaleway GPU Instances are designed to deliver high-performance computing for AI/ML workloads, rendering, scientific simulations, and visualization tasks. This guide provides a detailed overview of their internet and Block Storage bandwidth capabilities to help you choose the right Instance for your GPU-powered workloads.

Why bandwidth matters for GPU InstancesLink to this anchor

GPU workloads often involve processing large datasets, requiring high-bandwidth networking and storage access.

  • Internet bandwidth: Determines how fast your Instance can send or receive data from external sources, enabling smooth data transfers for model training or .
  • Block bandwidth: Impacts data access speeds for datasets stored in Block Storage, optimizing performance for AI pipelines, rendering workflows, and other data-intensive applications.
Important

Bandwidth specifications listed here are for informational purposes only. To validate the exact bandwidth capacity of your GPU Instance, refer to the block_bandwidth field in the

Instances API. Use the endpoint /instance/v1/zones/{zone}/products/servers to retrieve GPU Instance specifications.

Tip

To maximize compatibility with

Block Storage Low Latency 15k, select an Instance with at least 3 GiB/s of Block bandwidth.
