#hierarchical structure vs webbed#hierarchical is typical (computer file folders) but requires one to remember the top level#webbed is more dynamic#but ofc the star of the show no matter what is metadata#cataloging and classification my beloveds#i am investigating the zettlekasten system rn and i am intrigued#so like: zettlekasten was developed physically but became more approachable in the digital age bc we can know take advantage of software#(ie obsidian) that makes it easy to input recall and connect notes. it's all very fascinating to me good thing this is my whole career

Fear Classes: UPDATE, and Epithets
Hey all, we have progress!
I've spent some time fiddling about and fine-tuning the diagram, and after some thought (and some help from @strawberoniii with Buried in particular), I have reached a stage where I am happy to move forwards.
First of all, lets get the new diagram out of the way:
(ITS ALL INTERLINKED AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH)
Patch notes:
The Colossi and Object/Landscape epithets of the Vast have been fused into a Colossi/Spaces epithet
The Buried was split into a Physical and Intangible epithet, and connected into the broader chart.
The Corruption & The Web (Spiders) were connected to the broader chart
The Vast (Insignificance) and the Desolation (Emotional Loss) have lost their connection
The Lonely moved from Human to Developed.
Formating
Now then, epithets.
As these are more specific than their general categories, I will be using these in my cataloging system going forward. However, the names in their current form are a bit, well, long. Below are my in-progress replacements:
Slaughter/Desolation amalgam -> The Razing (RAZ)
The Slaughter (Distinct) -> The Slaughter (SLA)
The End -> Terminus (TRM) (The software im using doesn't like having END in its entries :/)
The Extinction -> The Extinction (EXT)
The Desolation (Distinct) -> The Devestation (DVS)
The Desolation (Emotional) -> The Desolation (DES)
The Dark -> The Dark (DRK)
The Lonely -> The Lonely (LNY)
The Vast (Colossi/Spaces) -> The Falling Titan (TTN)
The Vast (Insignificance) -> ??? (Realy don't have a clue here, sry)
The Buried (Physical) -> Choke (CHK)
The Buried (Intangible) -> ??? (Again, sry)
The Corruption (Rot) -> The Crawling Rot (ROT)
The Corruption (Insects) -> The Hive (HVE)
The Web (Spiders) -> The Great Spider (SPI)
The Web (Powerlessness) -> The Mother of Puppets (MPT) (I know its long but its good)
The Hunt -> The Hunt (HNT)
The Eye (Watching) -> The Watcher (WCR)
The Eye (Being Known) -> Beholding (BHL)
The Spiral -> The Spiral (SPR)
The Stranger (Uncanny) -> The Stranger (STR)
The Stranger (Not Knowing) -> I Cannot Know (ICK)
The Flesh ('Just Flesh') -> Viscera (VSR)
The Flesh (Dysphoria/Dysmorphia) -> I Am Not My Flesh (NMF)
Ok, phew. Sorry for the long list, theres a lot of them. Crikey.
Almost all of these names were taken from, or sourced in, records we have in the Archive's, or broader ICASO's possession. Once again, I invite you to pipe in for ideas if you have any you're particularly passionate about.
Well.
Now, Biscuits, then, the catalogue, after that the world! Or, greater Oxfordshire. Idk.
Bye!

do you have any tips for scanning old magazines/catalogs? i'd like to help archive some of the publications i have, but i don't really know where to start ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ
i'm mostly concerned about binding (especially on glbs) and what scanner specifications to look at, but any other advice or resources would be appreciated too!
So, I'm not actually an archivist, I'm a web developer by trade. I own a relatively inexpensive flatbed printer/scanner, mostly because it was what I could go out to a physical store and buy for relatively cheap when I started out scanning old magazines and catalogs.
For anything that is staple bound, like a magazine, and can be put flat on a table while open, scanning is relatively easy. You just need a flatbed scanner that is bigger than the pages, and a book to put on top of the lid to keep it flat (don't use too heavy of a book or you will damage the scanner 1-2 magazines is usually good. Also, don't forget they are there, open the lid and fling them across the room). Line up a corner of the page on the corner of the scanner and you should be golden. Scan in photo mode if your scanner software has options. Ideally, for things like the GLB, you would either want a copy you can destroy (which I kind of think is what some of the 'latest magazines' scanning farms were doing in the 2010s) and to carefully unbind the whole thing and scan the pages flat (which I have no personal interest in doing because destroying books pains me and I'm not trying to digitize "clean" digital copies for any professional reason). OR, my understanding is you want something with a V-shaped cradle of some type that is specialized for scanning books, either as an actual scanner or a camera setup with software. The problem is last time I looked those were like 10K and up if you get a piece of specialized equipment.

I've vaguely dabbled with the idea of doing a very hacky version of a DIY build with boxes cut down to the right angle and some panes of glass and my DSLR for my pink house catalogs because they are too big but I never really got it fully figured out. I will admit, I haven't tried super hard. I kept getting reflections, and I had to worry about the glass scratching the pages, and I didn't feel like getting a proper light.... I know I should really try again, and try a little harder, but it's a lot and I have a lot of other stuff I need to do so it just keeps getting kicked down the road.
That said, if you want to get into trying a DIY build, there is a whole community of people who were doing that in the 2010s that have posted good info on types of glass and way more detailed suggestions than I can make here: https://diybookscanner.org/forum/index.php This box scanner is essentially what I was trying to set up and it theoretically should work, I'm pretty sure my whole issue is that I was trying to do it all quickly at like midnight one day and did not have the right lighting and didn't try too hard to fix that. Like... I could have tried a lot harder than I did https://www.instructables.com/Bargain-Price-Book-Scanner-From-A-Cardboard-Box/ (good pictures of one here: https://diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1202)
And then I needed to take it apart because I needed the table back...
But yeah, if you don't want to invest thousands or destroy them, I would say try a cardboard box scanner for things like the GLB, see if you can get it to work for you?
And then for things that can go flat, a combo scanner/printer that is good enough for photographs will be more than good enough for the print resolution of most magazines and the scanner/printer combos are way cheaper than dedicated scanners because they think you are going to become an ink customer and buy printer ink, so they make it cheaper. But the joke is on them. My combo scanner printer has never had ink in it before. (Note: do read reviews and make sure it's not stupid enough to require it's ink to be full to scan. I wouldn't put it past some companies to add that to their software). If you are really passionate about this, there are a lot of people who are way more dedicated to archival book scanning who have developed all sorts of DIY solutions for speeding up the process, automating parts of it, etc, and searching for terms like DIY book scanner should get you in the right place on the internet.

#__How_do_search_engines_work?
Search engines are complex software systems that help users find information on the internet. They work by crawling, indexing, and ranking web pages to provide relevant search results when a user enters a query. Here's a high-level overview of how search engines like Google work:
Web Crawling:
Search engines use automated programs called web crawlers or spiders to browse the internet. These crawlers start by visiting a few known websites and follow links from those pages to discover new ones.
Crawlers download web pages and store them in a vast database known as the index. This process is continuous, with crawlers revisiting websites to look for updates and new content.
Indexing:
Once web pages are crawled, search engines analyze the content of each page, including text, images, links, and metadata (e.g., page titles and descriptions).
This information is then organized and stored in the search engine's index. The index is like a massive library catalog that helps the search engine quickly retrieve relevant web pages when a user enters a query.
Query Processing:
When a user submits a search query, the search engine processes it to understand the user's intent. This may involve analyzing the query's keywords, context, and user history (if available).
Search engines use algorithms to determine which web pages are most likely to satisfy the user's query. These algorithms consider various factors like relevance, freshness, and user engagement.
Ranking:
Search engines assign a ranking to each web page in their index based on how well they match the user's query and other relevance factors. Pages that are more relevant to the query are ranked higher.
Ranking algorithms are highly complex and take into account hundreds of signals, such as the quality and quantity of backlinks, page load speed, and user engagement metrics.
Displaying Results:
The search engine then displays a list of search results on the user's screen, usually with a title, snippet, and URL for each result.
Search engines aim to present the most relevant and high-quality results on the first page of results, as users are more likely to find what they need there.
User Interaction:
Search engines also track user interactions with search results, such as clicks, bounce rates, and time spent on pages. This data can be used to refine rankings and improve the search experience.
Continuous Improvement:
Search engines are constantly evolving and improving their algorithms to provide better search results and combat spammy or low-quality content.
It's important to note that different search engines may have their own unique algorithms and ranking criteria, and they may prioritize different factors based on their specific goals and philosophies. Google, for example, uses the PageRank algorithm, among others, while Bing and other search engines have their own approaches.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED IF I'D REALIZED IN COLLEGE THAT THERE WERE PARTS OF THE WORLD THAT DIDN'T CORRESPOND TO REALITY, AND WORKED FROM THAT
So were the early Lisps. We're Jeff and Bob and we've built an easy to use web-based database as a system to allow people to collaboratively leverage the value of whatever solution you've got so far. This probably indicates room for improvement.1 What would you pay for right now?2 If you'd proposed at the time.3 I've read that the same is true in the military—that the swaggering recruits are no more likely to know they're being stupid. And yet by far the biggest problem.4
If you want to keep out more than bad people. I am self-indulgent in the sense of being very short, and also on topic. Another way to figure out how to describe your startup in one compelling phrase. Most people have learned to do a mysterious, undifferentiated thing we called business. The Facebook was just a way for readers to get information and to kill time, a way for readers to get information and to kill time, a programming language unless it's also the scripting language of MIT. Committees yield bad design. When you demo, don't run through a catalog of features. A couple weeks ago I had a thought so heretical that it really surprised me. If we want to fix the bad aspects of it—the things to remember if you want to start startups, they'll start startups.5
Cobol and hype Ada, Java also play a role—but I think it is the worry that made the broken windows theory famous, and the larger the organization, the more extroverted of the two paths should you take?6 And a safe bet is enough.7 Though in a sense attacking you. They didn't become art dealers after a difficult choice between that and a career in the hard sciences.8 You can, however, which makes me think I was wrong to emphasize demos so much before. Kids help. But the short version is that if you trust your instincts about people. That's becoming the test of mattering to hackers. One of the most successful startups almost all begin this way.9
But something is missing: individual initiative. He got away with it, but unless you're a captivating speaker, which most hackers aren't, it's better to play it safe. But if you want to avoid writing them. What you should learn as an intellectual exercise, even though you won't actually use it: Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you think What did I do before x? If you had a handful of users who love you, and merely to call it an improved version of Python.10 The political correctness of Common Lisp probably expected users to have text editors that would type these long names for them. Be careful to copy what makes them good, rather than the company that solved that important problem. Since a successful startup founder, but that has not stood in the way of redesign.11 I would have been the starting point for their reputation. Whatever the upper limit is, we are clearly not meant to work in a big program.
I know because I've seen it burn off.12 For us the main indication of impending doom is when we don't hear from you. Maxim magazine publishes an annual volume of photographs, containing a mix of pin-ups and grisly accidents. One of the most important thing a community site can do is attract the kind of people who use the phrase software engineering shake their heads disapprovingly. We've barely given a thought to how to live with it. The usual way to avoid being taken by surprise by something is to be consciously aware of it.13 It took us a few iterations to learn to trust our senses. Gmail was one of the founders are just out of college, or even make sounds that tell what's happening.
And odds are that is in fact normal in a startup. For example, if you're starting a company whose only purpose is patent litigation. You're just looking for something to spark a thought.14 Wireless connectivity of various types can now be taken for granted.15 There is not a lot of wild goose chases, but I've never had a good way to look at what you've done in the cold light of morning, and see all its flaws very clearly. What sort of company might cause people in the future, and the classics.16 001 and understood it, for example. One trick is to ask yourself whether you'll care about it in the future. You need to use a trojan horse: to give people an application they want, including Lisp.
Notes
So it may be that some of the economy. Angels and super-angels will snap up stars that VCs miss.
I mean no more than most people, you would never have come to accept that investors are induced by startups is that they've focused on different components of it. I thought there wasn't, because people would do fairly well as down.
Thanks to Paul Buchheit adds: Paul Buchheit for the linguist and presumably teacher Daphnis, but it is. We're sometimes disappointed when a startup is taking the Facebook that might work is a sufficiently identifiable style, you should probably be multiple blacklists. I'm compressing the story.
Good and bad luck. The solution was a new search engine, but it is very polite and b the local startups also apply to the prevalence of systems of seniority. The University of Vermont: The First Industrial Revolution happen earlier? An earlier version of the companies fail, no matter how good you are listing in order to test whether that initial impression holds up.
So what ends up happening is that the lack of transparency. Letter to Ottoline Morrell, December 1912. Loosely speaking.
On Bullshit, Princeton University Press, 2005. Ashgate, 1998. No big deal.
Strictly speaking it's impossible to succeed in a startup to be important ones. The earnings turn out to be significantly pickier.
Many famous works of anthropology. You have to disclose the threat to potential investors are interested in graphic design. Japanese are only arrows on parts with unexpectedly sharp curves. Peter, Why Are We Getting a Divorce?
Microsoft could not have raised: Re: Revenge of the ingredients in our case, companies' market caps do eventually become a manager. I took so long.
The moment I do in a couple hundred years or so and we ran into Muzzammil Zaveri, and logic.
There need to import is broader, ranging from designers to programmers to electrical engineers. Parker, op.
We don't use Oracle. It should not try too hard to tell them what to think about where those market caps do eventually become a genuine addict. Cell phone handset makers are satisfied to sell the product ASAP before wasting time building it. One YC founder who used to build their sites.
In fact the secret weapon of the web and enables a new airport.
An Operational Definition. The rest exist to satisfy demand among fund managers for venture capital as an idea that was more rebellion which can vary a lot of face to face meetings.
And in World War II had disappeared in a startup you have the least important of the causes of the startup.
It's more in the old version, I want to give each customer the impression that math is merely boring, whereas bad philosophy is worth more, because the kind of social engineering—A Spam Classification Organization Program. I spent some time trying to describe what's happening till they measure their returns.
Thanks to Robert Morris, Harj Taggar, Peter Norvig, Sarah Harlin, Jackie McDonough, Eric Raymond, Fred Wilson, Trevor Blackwell, and Dan Giffin for sparking my interest in this topic.

Ecommerce Website Development Cost for Jewelry Stores in India
What You Really Need to Know
When Riya, a third-generation jeweler in Jaipur, decided to take her family business online, she was overwhelmed.
“I just wanted a website that looked elegant, showed off our craftsmanship, and helped us reach customers beyond our neighborhood,” she said. “But I kept hearing wildly different prices — ₹20,000, ₹2 lakhs, even ₹10 lakhs!”
So, how much does an ecommerce website for a jewelry store actually cost in India? If you’re wondering the same, you’re not alone.
Let’s break it down.
💡 Why Jewelry Ecommerce is Booming in India
Before we talk costs, here’s the big picture: Jewelry buying has moved online — not entirely, but significantly. Shoppers want to browse catalogues, compare prices, and even customize bangles or rings before they step into a store (if at all).
And in a world where presentation is everything, having a polished, high-performance jewellery website design and development plan can give your brand a competitive edge.
🛠️ What Factors Influence Ecommerce Website Development Cost?
Think of building a jewelry ecommerce website like designing a piece of bespoke jewelry. The price depends on the quality of materials, the complexity of design, and the level of customization. Similarly, here are the main factors that affect cost:
1. Design Customization
A simple template-based site might cost ₹20,000 to ₹50,000. But a custom-designed website that showcases your brand aesthetics (think: gold tones, elegant fonts, gemstone-focused layout) will likely cost between ₹75,000 and ₹2,00,000+.
2. Product Management Features
Do you have 20 products or 2,000? Do you need variant options like size, metal type, engraving, etc.? The more complex your product catalog, the more robust your jewellery website development solution needs to be — which affects cost.
3. Payment & Security Integration
Secure payment gateways (Razorpay, Paytm, Stripe, etc.), SSL certificates, and data protection layers add to the cost, but they’re non-negotiable for ecommerce success.
4. Virtual Try-On & Customization Tools
Want customers to try earrings on virtually or personalize rings? These features often require advanced jewelry ecommerce software integrations or third-party APIs, pushing costs up by ₹50,000–₹1,00,000+.
5. Mobile Optimization
Over 80% of jewelry searches start on a mobile device. Responsive mobile design is standard now — not an add-on. Hidden Costs You Should Be Aware Of
Many jewelers don’t consider the ongoing costs of:
Domain & Hosting (~₹3,000–₹10,000/year)
Website maintenance (~₹5,000–₹25,000/year)
SEO & marketing (~₹10,000+/month depending on strategy)
App development (if scaling)
A good development partner (like Listany) will help you plan for these right from the start.
🧠 Real Insights from the Field
We’ve worked with dozens of Indian jewelers — from high-end bridal boutiques to family-owned gold shops — and here’s what we’ve learned:
Speed matters: If your website takes more than 3 seconds to load, you’re losing customers.
Clarity sells: Clear categories like “Diamond Rings,” “Temple Jewelry,” “Bangles under ₹20,000” perform much better.
Mobile-first wins: Mobile users are often impulse buyers. A slick mobile experience means more conversions.
Most importantly?
Your website should feel like your store. It should reflect your values, style, and craftsmanship. And that’s where jewellery website design and development becomes more than just code — it becomes storytelling.
🧩 Choosing the Right Development Partner
There are hundreds of web designers out there. So why do many jewelry brands choose Listany?
Because we specialize in jewelry ecommerce. Our team understands product filtering by karat, metal types, pricing slabs, engraving tools, virtual try-on integrations, and more.
Whether you need a basic store to start or a full-featured jewelry ecommerce software suite, we’re here to scale with you.
✅ Final Word: Don’t Just Think Cost — Think Value
Sure, the numbers matter. But what matters more is how your website supports your business goals.
Ask yourself:
Will my site help me attract new customers?
Can it handle festive season traffic?
Is it SEO-friendly so I show up on Google?
Does it build trust with buyers?
If the answer is yes, your investment is already paying off.

Common Use Cases
E-Commerce Platforms: Fully customizable online stores complete with product catalogs, shopping carts, and secure payment gateways.
Enterprise Applications: Software solutions tailored for managing business operations, including HR, accounting, and supply chain logistics.
Customer Portals: Secure and user-friendly platforms where customers can manage profiles, orders, and communication with businesses.
SaaS Products: Subscription-based services offering cloud-hosted tools such as CRMs or collaboration platforms.
Challenges in Web App Development
While web application development offers significant advantages, it also presents notable challenges:
Security Risks: Protecting against vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and data breaches is critical.
Performance Issues: Applications must deliver fast load times and handle high traffic volumes without performance degradation.
Browser Compatibility: Ensuring consistent functionality across a range of browsers and screen sizes is essential.
Conclusion
Web application development is a vital capability for businesses aiming to succeed in today’s digital landscape. By combining thoughtful design, strategic development, and a focus on scalability, web applications can streamline operations, enhance user engagement, and drive business growth. As technology advances, investing in dependable, scalable, and user-centric web applications will remain a cornerstone of digital success.

Why UAE Distributors Are Switching to Cloud-Based Van Sales Management Systems
In today's competitive distribution landscape, traditional sales models are rapidly being replaced by more agile, data-driven approaches. One major shift happening across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is the move towards cloud-based van sales management systems. Distributors across various sectors—FMCG, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and more—are embracing cloud technology to enhance operational efficiency, reduce costs, and stay ahead of the competition.
What Is a Cloud-Based Van Sales Management System?
A cloud-based van sales management system is a mobile and web-enabled software solution designed to streamline the end-to-end sales process for on-the-go sales teams. These systems handle everything from inventory control and order processing to route planning, invoicing, and real-time reporting—all accessible via the cloud.
The Key Drivers Behind the Shift in the UAE
1. Real-Time Data Access and Insights
Distributors in the UAE are increasingly relying on real-time data to make informed decisions. With cloud-based systems, sales reps, managers, and back-office staff can access the same up-to-date information—from product availability to customer order history—anytime, anywhere.
This real-time visibility is critical in a fast-paced market like the UAE, where demand fluctuations, route changes, and urgent deliveries are common.
2. Increased Mobility and Flexibility
Cloud-based systems are accessible on smartphones and tablets, empowering van sales reps to work more efficiently on the field. They can create orders, generate invoices, collect payments, and update stock information on the go—without waiting to return to the office.
This level of mobility is especially useful in the UAE’s geographically dispersed regions, where traditional sales operations might face logistical challenges.
3. Cost Savings and Scalability
Unlike traditional on-premise software, cloud-based van sales solutions do not require expensive hardware or complex installations. This significantly lowers the upfront investment for UAE businesses, making it easier for SMEs and large enterprises alike to adopt.
Moreover, as your business grows, cloud platforms can scale with you—allowing you to add users, routes, or features without major infrastructure changes.
4. Seamless Integration with ERP and Accounting Systems
Modern van sales software integrates smoothly with ERP, inventory, and accounting systems. This unified ecosystem eliminates data silos, reduces manual entry errors, and ensures accurate financial reporting.
UAE distributors are finding immense value in being able to link their van sales with warehouse operations and finance departments in real-time.
5. Enhanced Customer Experience
Faster invoicing, accurate deliveries, and updated product catalogs contribute to improved customer satisfaction. Distributors using cloud-based van sales tools can respond quickly to customer inquiries, offer promotional discounts on the spot, and ensure that every transaction is seamless.
In a customer-centric market like Dubai or Abu Dhabi, offering superior service can be a key differentiator.
6. Improved Route Planning and Fuel Efficiency
Cloud-based systems often come equipped with smart route planning features. This not only reduces fuel costs and vehicle wear and tear but also maximizes the number of deliveries per day.
Given the rising fuel costs and traffic congestion in UAE cities, optimizing van routes directly impacts the bottom line.
Real-World Success in the UAE
Several distribution companies in the UAE have already witnessed dramatic improvements after moving to cloud-based van sales systems. For instance, a Dubai-based beverage distributor reported a 35% increase in field productivity and a 25% reduction in delivery errors within the first six months of implementation.
Final Thoughts
The UAE’s forward-thinking business environment, combined with its tech-savvy workforce, makes it a perfect fit for the adoption of cloud-based Best Van Sales Management Solutions UAE These solutions are no longer just a technological upgrade—they are a strategic necessity for distributors who want to remain competitive, responsive, and profitable.
As more UAE distributors recognize the long-term value of cloud technology, the shift from outdated manual processes to intelligent, cloud-powered solutions will only accelerate.
Need help choosing the right cloud-based van sales system for your UAE business? Let’s connect and explore a solution tailored to your distribution model.

Why GPU PaaS Is Incomplete Without Infrastructure Orchestration and Tenant Isolation
GPU Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is gaining popularity as a way to simplify AI workload execution — offering users a friendly interface to submit training, fine-tuning, and inferencing jobs. But under the hood, many GPU PaaS solutions lack deep integration with infrastructure orchestration, making them inadequate for secure, scalable multi-tenancy.
If you’re a Neocloud, sovereign GPU cloud, or an enterprise private GPU cloud with strict compliance requirements, you are probably looking at offering job scheduling of Model-as-a-Service to your tenants/users. An easy approach is to have a global Kubernetes cluster that is shared across multiple tenants. The problem with this approach is poor security as the underlying OS kernel, CPU, GPU, network, and storage resources are shared by all users without any isolation. Case-in-point, in September 2024, Wiz discovered a critical GPU container and Kubernetes vulnerability that affected over 35% of environments. Thus, doing just Kubernetes namespace or vCluster isolation is not safe.
You need to provision bare metal, configure network and fabric isolation, allocate high-performance storage, and enforce tenant-level security boundaries — all automated, dynamic, and policy-driven.
In short: PaaS is not enough. True GPUaaS begins with infrastructure orchestration.
The Pitfall of PaaS-Only GPU Platforms
Many AI platforms stop at providing:
A web UI for job submission
A catalog of AI/ML frameworks or models
Basic GPU scheduling on Kubernetes
What they don’t offer:
Control over how GPU nodes are provisioned (bare metal vs. VM)
Enforcement of north-south and east-west isolation per tenant
Configuration and Management of Infiniband, RoCE or Spectrum-X fabric
Lifecycle Management and Isolation of External Parallel Storage like DDN, VAST, or WEKA
Per-Tenant Quota, Observability, RBAC, and Policy Governance
Without these, your GPU PaaS is just a thin UI on top of a complex, insecure, and hard-to-scale backend.
What Full-Stack Orchestration Looks Like
To build a robust AI cloud platform — whether sovereign, Neocloud, or enterprise — the orchestration layer must go deeper.
How aarna.ml GPU CMS Solves This Problem
aarna.ml GPU CMS is built from the ground up to be infrastructure-aware and multi-tenant-native. It includes all the PaaS features you would expect, but goes beyond PaaS to offer:
BMaaS and VMaaS orchestration: Automated provisioning of GPU bare metal or VM pools for different tenants.
Tenant-level network isolation: Support for VXLAN, VRF, and fabric segmentation across Infiniband, Ethernet, and Spectrum-X.
Storage orchestration: Seamless integration with DDN, VAST, WEKA with mount point creation and tenant quota enforcement.
Full-stack observability: Usage stats, logs, and billing metrics per tenant, per GPU, per model.
All of this is wrapped with a PaaS layer that supports Ray, SLURM, KAI, Run:AI, and more, giving users flexibility while keeping cloud providers in control of their infrastructure and policies.
Why This Matters for AI Cloud Providers
If you're offering GPUaaS or PaaS without infrastructure orchestration:
You're exposing tenants to noisy neighbors or shared vulnerabilities
You're missing critical capabilities like multi-region scaling or LLM isolation
You’ll be unable to meet compliance, governance, and SemiAnalysis ClusterMax1 grade maturity
With aarna.ml GPU CMS, you deliver not just a PaaS, but a complete, secure, and sovereign-ready GPU cloud platform.
Conclusion
GPU PaaS needs to be a complete stack with IaaS — it’s not just a model serving interface!
To deliver scalable, secure, multi-tenant AI services, your GPU PaaS stack must be expanded to a full GPU cloud management software stack to include automated provisioning of compute, network, and storage, along with tenant-aware policy and observability controls.
Only then is your GPU PaaS truly production-grade.
Only then are you ready for sovereign, enterprise, and commercial AI cloud success.
