Verify Before You Buy. Deploy Without Surprises.

Hardware incompatibility is expensive. A GPU that doesn't work with your motherboard, a NIC that won't negotiate with your switch, a driver version that breaks your framework — these problems cost time and money that most teams can't afford. DVUN's Compatibility Advisory service gives you a verified compatibility assessment of your planned hardware stack before you commit to a purchase.

What Compatibility Advisory Covers

• GPU & Server Platform Compatibility — Verifying GPU card compatibility with your server platform, PCIe generation, power delivery, and cooling requirements.
• Multi-GPU Configuration Validation — NVLink, NVSwitch, and PCIe topology validation for multi-GPU server configurations.
• Networking Compatibility — NIC-to-switch compatibility, optical module verification, and RDMA/RoCE configuration requirements.
• Storage Compatibility — NVMe drive compatibility by server platform and firmware version, storage controller validation.
• Software Framework Compatibility — CUDA version requirements, driver compatibility, and framework-specific hardware requirements for PyTorch, TensorFlow, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, and others.
• Existing Infrastructure Integration — Compatibility assessment for new hardware integrating with your existing servers, network, and storage infrastructure.

How It Works

1. Submit your hardware list — Share your planned hardware configuration and any existing infrastructure it needs to integrate with.
2. DVUN reviews and researches — Our team checks compatibility across all components, consulting manufacturer documentation, our own testing data, and known issue databases.
3. You receive a compatibility report — A clear assessment of what's verified compatible, what has known issues, and recommended alternatives where needed.
4. Optional follow-up — A call with our team to walk through the findings and answer questions.

Who This Service Is For

• Teams buying their first GPU server and unsure about component compatibility
• Organizations expanding existing infrastructure with new hardware
• Anyone mixing hardware from multiple vendors in a single deployment
• Teams with specific software framework requirements that need hardware validation
