Kentino AI Node H100 — 8× NVIDIA H100 SXM5, 640 GB HBM3

An 8U node carrying eight NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80 GB modules on a single NVLink/NVSwitch baseboard: 640 GB of HBM3 at 3.35 TB/s per GPU, full any-to-any 900 GB/s GPU-to-GPU bandwidth, dual Intel Xeon Gold 6538Y+, 2 TB DDR5 ECC RDIMM and U.2 NVMe storage. The H100 is the most widely benchmarked 8-GPU platform in existence, which matters more than it sounds: if you have an existing training recipe, a vendor SLA or a procurement process built around H100 numbers, this is the node that matches them without re-validation.

Hardware

What it runs

640 GB covers the whole current open-weight landscape at fp8 or Q4. Estimates are for this 8-GPU configuration with tensor parallelism.

Throughput figures are estimates derived from published vendor specifications and community benchmarks for this GPU generation, not measurements taken on this exact configuration. We will give you measured numbers for your model and context length before you commit.

Power and cooling

Roughly 6.7 kW sustained - identical envelope to the H200 node. Dedicated 32 A three-phase feed per node, rack budget around one node per 10 kW, contained cold aisle below 24 C with genuine front-to-back airflow for 24/7 operation.

Export control - read this before ordering

The H100 is an Advanced Computing Item (ECCN 3A090.a). Shipment requires a completed KYC form and an End User Certificate naming the end user, the installation address and the intended use.

Budget several weeks for clearance on top of hardware lead time. If the end user cannot be named, this hardware cannot be supplied.

What you get from Kentino

Kentino supplies, configures and supports this node as a complete deployment: rack and power design against your site's actual feed, front-to-back airflow sizing for 24/7 operation, OS and driver stack (Ubuntu with pinned NVIDIA driver, CUDA, container toolkit), the inference or training stack of your choice, burn-in with a written report, EU-based logistics and warranty.

We also handle the export paperwork with you rather than mailing you a form and hoping. That part takes longer than the hardware and is where most first-time buyers of this class of machine get stuck.

Price shown is EUR excluding VAT, EXW Prague (Incoterms 2020). Collection, freight, insurance and any destination import duties are for the buyer’s account. Lead time on request.

Before you order this, ask us to quote the H200 node alongside it - at current channel pricing the 8x H200 baseboard often lands at or below the H100 board while carrying 1,128 GB instead of 640 GB. We would rather tell you that up front than sell you the wrong node.
