## Service capabilities
### A physical GPU environment
The Tensor range is listed as bare metal. Plan your operating system, drivers and application stack around the selected hardware rather than a generic virtual instance.

### Choose the accelerator deliberately
The configurator distinguishes NVIDIA Tesla P4 and T4 options. Compare the listed GPU memory with the model or task you want to run.

### CPU, RAM and disk around the GPU
A GPU workflow also needs host memory, data preparation and storage. Review the Xeon platform and select RAM or disk additions where useful.

### Network choices for your datasets
Compare the port and traffic characteristics across Tensor configurations. Dataset imports and output distribution can be as important as the accelerator itself.

## Example workloads
### Compatible model inference
Run inference workloads whose framework, precision and memory requirements match the selected NVIDIA accelerator.

### GPU-enabled rendering
Prepare a rendering or visual-processing workflow after checking the engine's GPU and driver compatibility.

### Batch data processing
Use an accelerator-aware application for repeatable image, media or numerical tasks on data you are entitled to process.

## A closer look
### GPU memory is a practical first filter
Before selecting a server, check whether the application and its working data fit the chosen accelerator's memory. The model architecture, precision and batch size all affect this requirement. A larger host-RAM option does not automatically increase the GPU's own memory.

### The complete stack determines the result
Choose an operating system supported by your software, then verify the NVIDIA driver and framework requirements. CPU preprocessing, storage reads and data transfer can limit a workflow even when the GPU is suitable. Benchmark a representative task before scheduling a large production job.

### Keep project data in your own operating environment
Tensor gives you a Swiss location for an application stack you configure. Decide who may access datasets, models and results, and keep sensitive material out of public directories. Use licensed software and authorised datasets; no external AI service or data-processing claim is implied by the presence of a GPU.

### From a GPU specification to a usable software path
Treat the selected accelerator, driver and application as one compatibility decision. CUDA-based work, TensorFlow or PyTorch, scientific processing and GPU rendering need a supported software combination. Video workflows may also use FFmpeg and hardware encoding, but supported codecs and practical throughput must be checked for the chosen P4 or T4. Confirm installation work and operator access before delivery.

## Configurations and billing
Base prices exclude separately selected add-ons. The actual configuration total, availability, delivery, licences and any applicable tax are confirmed before a real order.

## Service questions
### Which GPU should I choose?
Compare the P4 and T4 options with your software's support list and memory needs. The selected option, rather than the family headline, defines the accelerator configuration.

### Does more system RAM increase GPU memory?
No. System RAM and the GPU's own memory are different resources. Review the accelerator option and host-memory option separately.

### Is a machine-learning framework preconfigured?
The catalogue lists operating-system and software choices. Confirm any required framework, driver and installation work as part of your deployment plan.

### Can every rendering application use this GPU?
Check the application's supported accelerator, driver and operating-system requirements. A GPU listed in a server specification does not establish compatibility with every engine.

### How should I choose between the server variants?
Compare the CPU platform and network port as well as the GPU selection. A workload with large data transfers may need a different balance from a compute-heavy local batch.

### Are A100, H100, RTX or multiple GPUs part of this range?
The published Tensor choices list Tesla P4 and T4. Other accelerators or several GPUs are not included catalogue selections and would require a separately validated configuration.

### Can Tensor run CUDA, TensorFlow or PyTorch?
Check the chosen GPU, driver, toolkit and framework versions together. Installation and a working test job need confirmation; listing an NVIDIA accelerator does not make a framework preconfigured.

### Can I use it for video encoding or streaming?
Evaluate FFmpeg, hardware-encoding support and the codecs required by your workflow. HLS, DASH, WebRTC or RTMP support depends on the software you deploy, and no stream count or latency is promised.

### What comes with the network and operating environment?
The plan lists its port, unmetered traffic and five IPs. Confirm root or administrator access, recovery controls and baseline protection with the operator; additional IP and software options are separate.
