# Nirvana Labs > High performing block storage cloud Nirvana Labs is a bare metal cloud infrastructure provider. It offers high-performance compute, storage, and networking for real-time blockchain, AI, and database workloads. Nirvana Labs is a cloud infrastructure company that builds dedicated bare metal compute, storage, and networking for latency-sensitive applications. It provides virtual machines, block storage, private networking, and orchestration tools designed to remove the performance overhead common to general-purpose cloud platforms. The platform targets teams running real-time or data-intensive systems, including blockchain infrastructure, artificial intelligence workloads, and databases. The company positions its offering as an alternative to traditional hyperscale clouds, which it argues were not built for continuous, high-throughput execution. Its infrastructure combines dedicated bare metal servers, a lightweight virtualization layer, and unified compute, storage, and networking to reduce latency at each layer. Managed multi-chain node access is also available so teams can connect to blockchain networks without operating their own infrastructure. Core offerings include compute in the form of virtual machines and sandboxed environments, accelerated block storage for sustained input and output performance, private networking, and a managed orchestration service for deploying and scaling containerized workloads. Nirvana Labs is used by teams operating trading routers, blockchain data indexing services, validators, and other latency-sensitive infrastructure across finance, AI, and web3 sectors. It publishes independent attestations of its security and operational controls. - Type: Company - Sector: Infrastructure - Status: Active - Founded: 2022-04-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/nirvana_labs ## Products - [Nirvana Cloud](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nirvana_labs): Nirvana Cloud is a bare metal cloud platform optimized for blockchain, AI, and real-time workloads, combining compute, storage, networking, and orchestration into a single stack. It provides high-clock virtual machines, accelerated block storage with sustained IOPS and sub-millisecond latency, and a private low-latency networking layer for connecting to external clouds without egress fees. A managed Kubernetes service handles cluster provisioning and autoscaling, while isolated agent sandboxes let developers run and checkpoint autonomous AI agents. Users deploy validators, RPC nodes, data pipelines, inference workloads, and trading infrastructure while offloading hardware management to the platform. (Developer Tooling, Live, Main Product) - [Nirvana Nodes](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nirvana_labs): Nirvana Nodes is a managed RPC service providing multi-chain API endpoints across more than 90 blockchain networks with dedicated and flexible node options. The service colocates nodes on Nirvana's underlying cloud infrastructure to deliver low-latency access to blockchain data. Users query and submit transactions to supported networks through hosted endpoints without operating or maintaining their own node infrastructure.
