Windows Server

Windows Server 2022 Standard is available on PCIe and workstation cards: RTX 4090, RTX 5090, RTX A6000, RTX 6000 Ada, RTX PRO 6000, L40S and H100 PCIe. It is not offered on SXM or OAM nodes, whose baseboards have no Windows driver support.

Licence

$28 per server per month, at our rate, added to the quote and discounted with the term like everything else. It is a rental licence: it ends with the server.

Access

RDP on port 3389 with the Administrator password shown on the server page. Change it at first login. RDP is reachable from the Internet at first boot; restrict it with Windows Firewall to your addresses, or reach it through an SSH tunnel to a Linux box, or enable Network Level Authentication only (it is on by default).

mstsc /v:203.0.113.10        # Windows
xfreerdp /v:203.0.113.10 /u:Administrator /dynamic-resolution   # Linux

Drivers

The Studio driver on workstation cards, the data-centre driver on PCIe cards, CUDA 12.8 installed. nvidia-smi is in the path.

Templates on Windows

• Bare OS + driver — NVIDIA driver 570 with the CUDA 12.8 toolkit, or ROCm 6.4 on AMD. Nothing else running.
• ComfyUI — ComfyUI on :8188 with ComfyUI-Manager, Flux and SDXL loaders. No checkpoints bundled — bring yours.
• Stable Diffusion WebUI Forge — Forge on :7860 with ControlNet and the usual extensions.
• Render node — Blender 4.4 headless with Cycles and OptiX, ready for your Octane, Redshift or V-Ray licence.

Frameworks and serving templates are Linux only. For PyTorch on Windows, start from the bare image and install what you need.
