This vid helps get started w/ DGX server price.

i. the DGX-1 is a powerful AI system that combines eight NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, delivering up to 170 TFLOPS of performance. The suggested price for one DGX-1 unit was $149,000 at launch, but the actual cost may vary depending on the configuration, availability, and vendor. The system also requires high-end infrastructure and support, which may add to the total cost of ownership. The system consumes up to 10kW of power, which may also affect the energy cost.

ii. NVIDIA DGX systems are not directly sold by Nvidia. Instead, they are available through select NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) partners. These partners offer various purchasing options, including:

* **Direct purchase:** You can purchase a DGX system outright from an NPN partner. This is the most straightforward option, but it also requires the largest upfront investment.
* **Leasing:** Some partners offer leasing options, allowing you to spread the cost of the system over a set period. This can be a good option if you don't need the system for the long term or want to avoid a large upfront cost.
* **Cloud access:** You can access DGX systems through the cloud using NVIDIA DGX Cloud, a serverless AI-training-as-a-service platform. This option is ideal for occasional or experimental use cases, as you only pay for the resources you use.

Here are some NPN partners that sell NVIDIA DGX systems:

* **SHIFF:** [[https://www.shi.com/product/41820041/NVIDIA-DGX-Station-A100]
* **Insight:**
* **Supermicro.**
* **World Wide Technology.**

The specific price of a DGX system will vary depending on the model you choose, its configuration, and the purchasing option you select. However, you can expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars or more for a DGX system.

Here are some factors to consider when choosing an NPN partner:

* **Price:** Compare prices from different partners to find the best deal.
* **Location:** Choose a partner with a location near you for easier support and service.
* **Experience:** Choose a partner with experience selling and supporting DGX systems.
* **Services:** Some partners offer additional services, such as installation, configuration, and training.
