↑ 25%Gcore has launched GPU Virtual Machines on NVIDIA Hopper infrastructure, offering flexible, cost-efficient AI compute. The service debuts in Sines-3, the company's sovereign AI region in Portugal, addressing demand for European-based AI infrastructure. The GPU VMs provide access to NVIDIA Hopper GPUs with high-bandwidth InfiniBand networking without long-term hardware commitments. A key feature allows companies to pause GPU billing when instances are powered off whilst maintaining configurations, paying only for storage and IPs during downtime. Users can scale from single GPU instances up to eight-GPU VMs as needed. The offering complements Gcore's existing Bare Metal GPUs and Spot Bare Metal GPUs services. The Luxembourg-based company operates infrastructure across six continents.
Gcore, a global infrastructure provider, has integrated NVIDIA Dynamo into its AI inference solutions, delivering up to six times higher throughput and two times lower latency. The integration is available as a fully managed, one-click deployment across public, private, hybrid and on-premises environments. NVIDIA Dynamo is an open-source inference framework designed to optimise large-scale generative AI models by addressing GPU underutilisation, static resource allocation and memory bottlenecks. Gcore delivers it as a pre-optimised solution that customers can activate through its customer portal without managing routing or GPU scheduling. The integration improves cost efficiency by increasing GPU utilisation and reducing wasted processing cycles. Dynamo-powered inference is available now on Gcore Inference and Everywhere AI platforms.
Gcore strengthens Digital Native strategy with new VP. Gcore, a leading provider of AI, cloud, network, and security solutions, has appointed Botir Bayzakov as Vice President of Sales for Digital Native Verticals. In this newly established role, Bayzakov will spearhead Gcore's strategy and sales efforts targeting cloud-native, rapidly growing companies. Bringing expertise to Gcore. Botir Bayzakov joins Gcore with a distinguished background in sales leadership, noted for his ability to drive revenue growth and foster customer success. His expertise encompasses building customer-centric strategies and guiding teams through the dynamic landscape of security, edge computing, and AI. Prior to joining Gcore, Bayzakov was an integral part of Cloudflare, where he developed the Digital Native team from inception to become one of the company's most successful global units. His previous roles include sales leadership positions at Splunk, Tableau Software, and Oracle, where he consistently achieved strong revenue outcomes and contributed to scaling high-growth businesses. Botir Bayzakov joins Gcore with a distinguished set in sales leadership, noted for his ability to drive revenue growth According to Andre Reitenbach, CEO of Gcore, "Digital Native companies are building the next generation of the internet, and they expect infrastructure and software that are as fast and ambitious as they are." He added, "we're delighted to welcome Botir to Gcore. His extensive experience across security, AI, and edge computing, alongside a genuine customer-first mindset, will enable Gcore to provide Digital Native innovators with the capabilities they need to build resilient, future-proof platforms. Botir will play a key role in strengthening our impact in this strategic segment." Botir Bayzakov commented on his new position, stating, "building high-performing teams taught me a simple truth: when you obsess over the customer's success, growth follows naturally. I am bringing that same 'builder mindset' to Gcore. Digital Native companies are currently facing a complex convergence of security, edge compute, and AI." "They need a partner who listens and innovates alongside them. My mission is to build a sales organization that acts as a strategic extension of the customers' teams, removing infrastructure barriers so they can focus on what they do best: changing the world."
FastNetMon partners with Gcore for automated DDoS scrubbing. by FastNetMon / 15.10.2025 / Comments are closed Fastnetmon LTD is excited to announce its new integration with Gcore, enabling fully automated DDoS mitigation through real-time detection and instant redirection to Gcore's scrubbing centres. With this integration, networks using FastNetMon Advanced can automatically detect and redirect DDoS traffic for scrubbing in under one second - with no manual operator intervention. How it works. FastNetMon Advanced continuously analyses network traffic using NetFlow, sFlow, and IPFIX. When DDoS indicators are detected, FastNetMon automatically triggers a BGP announcement to redirect only the affected prefixes to Gcore's scrubbing centre. Gcore filters out malicious traffic and returns clean traffic to your network over a secure GRE tunnel. Once the attack subsides, routing is automatically restored to normal. This integration combines FastNetMon's real-time detection with Gcore's advanced filtering infrastructure to deliver sub-second, zero-touch DDoS protection. The Gcore + FastNetMon integration supports both IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, ensuring comprehensive protection across all environments with the same response time and precision mitigation capabilities. Benefits for your network. FastNetMon only redirects traffic under attack, keeping normal traffic on the shortest path to your infrastructure. This selective diversion avoids unnecessary detours through scrubbing centres, reducing latency and preserving performance for legitimate users. With FastNetMon, scrubbing only happens when it's needed. By activating Gcore's filtering automatically during active attacks, you eliminate the expense of always-on protection while maintaining the same level of security. FastNetMon continuously analyses network traffic in real time to detect DDoS indicators within seconds. Only the affected prefixes are redirected, and routing is automatically restored once the threat subsides - ensuring fast response and minimal disruption. About FastNetMon scrubbing centre integrations. All automation scripts used for this integration are open-source and fully customisable, available in the official FastNetMon GitHub repository. This new integration joins its growing ecosystem of automated scrubbing partnerships, including F5 and Cloudflare Magic Transit, allowing network operators to choose the provider that best fits their infrastructure. Learn more about scrubbing centre automation and other supported integrations in its documentation. About fastnetmon. FastNetMon is a leading solution for network security, offering advanced DDoS detection and mitigation. With real-time analytics and rapid response capabilities, FastNetMon helps organisations protect their infrastructure from evolving cyber threats.For more information, visit fastnetmon.com.
