NVIDIA collaborates with Australian data center operators and cloud partners. This partnership aims to significantly expand the nation's AI computing capacity.
The partnership targets a buildout of up to 2 gigawatts by 2027. This addresses surging demand for generative AI from local startups, researchers, and enterprises.
The initiative involves Firmus, Sharon AI, IREN, ResetData, CDC, NEXTDC, and AirTrunk.
These companies will own and operate the facilities, described as "AI factories." NVIDIA will provide its full-stack DSX platform. This platform includes accelerated computing, networking, and software.
This expansion provides Australian innovators greater access to high-performance computing. They can then build and deploy AI models and applications locally.
