Check the fit.
We review your software, data, expected output, schedule and budget. You receive a written scope before any paid work or deployment.

Set up with you.
Have an AI model, rendering job or processing task that needs more power? We help turn it into a working cloud application, with the setup and support agreed in advance.
What you are buyingHelp with the application.

Clarity on the costs.
Normandin Systems provides application setup and support. SaladCloud supplies third-party infrastructure; we do not operate its GPU network.
Run a useful test.
The agreed pilot checks compatibility, output quality and actual running cost using a sample workload. Expansion follows your approval.
Choose the next step.
Get operating instructions, or ask for a separately quoted support arrangement. Monitoring, changes and response times are defined in that scope.
Where it can fit
Start with a repeatable job.
AI inference
Run a compatible model to process prompts, images or other inputs. We check memory needs, software licences and how your application receives results.
Batch rendering
Explore a container-compatible rendering workflow with sample scenes first. Plugins, licences, file transfers and output storage form part of the review.
File & data processing
Package a repeatable processing task into jobs that can retry. Agree how inputs arrive, how progress is tracked and where finished files are saved.
The proposed SaladCloud setup uses containers: packaged applications, rather than a general-purpose Windows desktop or an SSH server rental. We assess whether your task fits before quoting.
Transparent scope & billingTwo costs.
Two costs.
Agreed before launch.
No fixed GPU rate is advertised here because hardware class, priority and provider pricing can change. A quote starts with your workload and a realistic pilot.
1. Our service fee
Application configuration, deployment assistance and the agreed testing or support. We quote the deliverables and fee in CAD, with any applicable taxes identified.
2. Your provider costs
You own the provider account and pay its compute and other usage charges directly. Salad publishes compute prices in USD; currency conversion, taxes, storage and other services need separate consideration. Check current Salad pricing ↗
We agree the pilot budget and stop conditions before starting. Automatic top-ups, ongoing workloads and additional spending require your approval. A planning budget is not a provider-enforced spending cap.

Keep the results.
Salad's available capacity is an estimate, and allocation depends on the workload. Deployment timing and a particular GPU cannot be guaranteed. Provider availability documentation ↗
What we review with you
- How work retries after an interruption.
- Where files and progress are saved.
- Whether the data is suitable for the chosen infrastructure.
- The intended schedule, budget and stop procedure.
- Who owns access, billing and day-to-day operation.
Dedicated capacity, a particular data location or an uptime commitment must be assessed separately. This page does not offer those commitments.

Before you start
A few useful answers.
Are you selling GPU servers or provider accounts?
No. Our offer is application setup and support in your own provider account, using access you authorize. We do not sell access to our credentials, raw GPU capacity or a fleet of company-owned servers. Provider terms apply; see the SaladCloud terms.
Can I use this for an always-on business website or database?
Tell us what you need first. A workload that depends on uninterrupted operation or durable database storage needs its own architecture and hosting review. See our managed business websites for a done-for-you public website.
Will this be cheaper than my current provider?
We compare the cost of completing your actual task after a pilot. Runtime, retries, storage and our service fee all matter. We do not promise a percentage saving or compare unlike hardware as if it were identical.
Can you automate my workflow as well?
Yes, we can scope the surrounding application: accepting jobs, tracking progress, delivering files and showing status. Integrations and ongoing operations are quoted separately. See custom tools and automation.
