Zero Field Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yusuke Hirashima; hereinafter "Zero Field") is pleased to announce the launch of a GPU server rental service that offers up to three years of free usage, utilizing an employment-linked subsidy scheme based on a comprehensive partnership agreement with Tsuruga City.
This service provides high-performance GPUs (such as NVIDIA L40S) as bare-metal infrastructure. It aims to maximize GPU performance by minimizing virtualization overhead, and by leveraging Tsuruga City's support system, it proposes a new model that connects corporate growth and regional job creation with reduced infrastructure usage costs.
■ Background
In recent years, demand for high-performance GPU infrastructure has rapidly increased in fields such as generative AI, image analysis, simulation, and research and development. However, the introduction and operation of GPU servers involve high initial investment and ongoing maintenance costs, posing a barrier for many companies.
Against this backdrop, based on our comprehensive partnership agreement with Tsuruga City, we are launching a GPU server rental service with an employment-linked subsidy scheme, as a mechanism to achieve both regional job creation and the utilization of advanced infrastructure.
Through this service, by utilizing Tsuruga City's support system, adopting companies can use high-performance GPU servers while minimizing their actual burden. Furthermore, by establishing a mechanism that allows for the maintenance and recovery of a 100% subsidy rate in subsequent years by meeting certain conditions, such as new employment within Tsuruga City, we aim to realize a model where corporate growth contributes back to the region.
■ Service Overview
This service is a GPU server rental service that provides servers equipped with high-performance GPUs such as NVIDIA L40S, in a completely physically exclusive (Bare Metal) manner.
By providing it without a virtual environment, hardware performance can be maximized, and single-tenant operation ensures a stable computing environment less affected by other users. In addition, root access from the OS layer is provided as standard, allowing for flexible environment construction according to the user company's requirements.
A major feature of this service is the adoption of an employment-linked cost model, which connects local job creation to resource returns, based on the comprehensive partnership agreement with Tsuruga City.
■ Features of this Service
1. High-performance utilization with Bare Metal
Eliminates virtualization overhead and maximizes hardware performance
Resolves noisy neighbor issues with single-tenant configuration
Provides an environment suitable for high-load applications such as AI learning, inference, and simulation
2. Highly flexible environment construction
Standard provision of root access from the OS layer
Flexible environment design possible according to usage
Also supports selection of hardware resources according to demand
*There are limits and conditions to the provided content.
3. Employment-linked pricing model
By utilizing Tsuruga City's support system, we are building a mechanism where corporate growth, i.e., the hiring of Tsuruga citizens, directly leads to a reduction in infrastructure maintenance costs. This model aims to achieve both regional employment and the utilization of advanced technology, not just the use of a subsidy system.
■ Pricing Model
This service assumes the following actual burden model, utilizing Tsuruga City's subsidy scheme:
Year of Use | Basic Subsidy Rate | Employment-Linked Reset Benefit | Actual Burden Amount
---|---|---|---
1st year | 100% | Initial application | 0 yen
2nd year | 50% | Recovery to 100% by employment | 0 yen
3rd year | 25% | Recovery to 100% by employment | 0 yen
*To maintain a 100% subsidy rate in the following year, conditions such as new employment (residents with resident registration) within Tsuruga City must be met.
*Details will be subject to individual review by Tsuruga City.
*Applicable conditions and provided content vary depending on the contract and review results.
*The total maximum amount for 3 years is 10.8 million yen.
■ Significance of the Base
Geopolitical advantages
Tsuruga City has excellent access balance to the Kansai, Chubu, and Kanto economic zones, and has high potential as a distributed location for development bases and infrastructure bases. From the perspective of disaster risk dispersion (DR), the company believes that the placement of computing resources not concentrated in the Tokyo metropolitan area will become increasingly important in the future.
Coexistence of region and technology
We will promote this service not merely as an infrastructure provision, but as an initiative that connects regional job creation with the utilization of advanced technology. Going forward, through collaboration with Tsuruga City and other regions, we will contribute to the creation of new industrial foundations in the AI and HPC fields.
■ Future Outlook
Moving forward, through the provision of GPU computing resources, we will promote the widespread adoption of high-performance computing environments for AI development, research, and industrial applications, and build a sustainable infrastructure utilization model in collaboration with local communities.
We are committed to creating a mechanism where corporate growth, regional employment, and advanced technology utilization mutually circulate.
