The market is projected to reach USD 9.69 billion by 2035, a CAGR of 19.79% from 2025. **How fast is the Cloud GPU Management Software Market growing?** 19.79% a year from 2025 to 2035, after 39.30% a year from 2020 to 2025, as GPUs under paid management rise from 1.46 million to 13.96 million (DC Market Insights estimate). **How much does GPU management software cost per GPU?** About USD 950 per managed GPU-year for the management layer in 2025 (DC Market Insights estimate). NVIDIA lists NVIDIA AI Enterprise at USD 4,500 per GPU a year or USD 1 per GPU-hour on cloud marketplaces. **Which component leads the Cloud GPU Management Software Market?** Cluster Scheduling and Orchestration, with USD 512.49 million or 32.17% of 2025 value. GPU Cloud Control Plane and Metering grows fastest at 23.25% a year. **Is Run:ai open source?** Yes. NVIDIA released the KAI Scheduler, the core of Run:ai, under Apache 2.0 in April 2025 and said in October 2026 that the full Run:ai platform is available as open source within NVIDIA DSX. **Who owns Slurm?** NVIDIA acquired SchedMD, the developer of Slurm, in December 2025 and said Slurm stays open source and vendor-neutral. Slurm runs on more than half of the top 100 TOP500 supercomputers, according to NVIDIA. **Which region leads the Cloud GPU Management Software Market?** North America, with USD 828.29 million or 52.00% of 2025 value. Middle East and Africa grows fastest at 23.89% a year, and India is the fastest large country at 27.05%. **Why do only some data center GPUs use paid management software?** Only 9% of the 16.2 million installed data center GPUs ran under paid management software in 2025, because hyperscale clouds write their own schedulers (DC Market Insights estimate). **Who are the leading companies in the Cloud GPU Management Software Market?** NVIDIA holds about 35% of 2025 value and the top five suppliers about 58% (DC Market Insights estimate). Broadcom (VMware), Red Hat, Nutanix, Rafay, CoreWeave, Nebius and AMD are also active. **Why do Cloud GPU Management Software Market estimates differ?** The DC Market Insights figure of USD 2.54 billion for 2026 counts only paid software and services that manage data center GPU fleets. Estimates that add MLOps tools, full AI software suites or GPU rental revenue are larger. ## Dataset | Series | Value | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | | Market size 2025 | 1,590 | USD million | | Revenue CAGR | 19.79 | % | | Market size 2035 | 9,690 | USD million | ## Frequently asked questions ### What is the size of the Cloud GPU Management Software Market in 2026?
