Vultr Builds AI Cloud Beyond Hyperscalers

Alan Shimel talks with Duncan Ng, Vice President of Solutions Engineering at Vultr, at PlatformCon 2026 about the infrastructure demands behind enterprise AI. Ng explains how Vultr combines global cloud operations, GPUs, networking, storage and customer-specific deployments to support AI workloads while addressing sovereignty, cost, latency and capacity concerns. The conversation also covers neo-cloud adoption, data center constraints, platform engineering, hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, GPU economics and why AI infrastructure requires more than raw accelerator access.
