Cloud repatriation: 40x savings building in-house GPUs
Ask Akash - What problem does Akash solve? Can it scale? (Akash Network)
“There’s a tweet from a16z Andreessen Horowitz’s partner Martin Casado about the repatriation of the data center… there’s one case where he talks about a company saving up to a 40x, sorry, of the cloud bill by building a GPU kit in-house. It still doesn’t solve the underutilized problem — if that company is not using their hardware 100 [percent] of the time, they’re still losing money.” — 00:02:10
Context: Uses the repatriation trend as validation that cloud is overpriced, then extends it: idle owned hardware should be rented out on Akash. Speaker: uncredited Ask Akash answer; likely Greg.
