For enterprise and AI infrastructure buyers: building GPU capacity in-house is slow and capital-intensive, which leaves most organisations renting capacity they do not control.
Capacity you cannot wait years to build.
A closed-door conversation for infrastructure buyers on hyperscale GPU deployment, data residency, and who actually controls the capacity you depend on.
AI labs and enterprises need substantial, reliable GPU capacity now, but building it in-house is capital-intensive and slow. That leaves most organisations dependent on capacity they neither control nor can scale on their own timeline.
Sharon AI signed a five-year, US$1.32 billion cloud computing services agreement with a global AI lab in July 2026, with over 62,000 NVIDIA GPUs slated for deployment by mid-2027, supported by a revenue-sharing structure with NVIDIA that accelerates access to capital-intensive infrastructure.
What we'll be exploring.
Talking points on the table include, but are not limited to:
Why in-house is too slow
The capital and lead time behind GPU capacity, against the timeline the business is working to.
What a hyperscale commitment looks like
The $1.32 billion agreement and 62,000 GPUs, in practical terms.
The NVIDIA revenue-share model
How it changes who can access this class of infrastructure.
Sovereignty and data residency
Onshore capacity for enterprise, government and research workloads.
APAC Series. Six cities.
We are excited to be building additional sovereign AI GPU compute infrastructure in Australia.
