Nvidia partners with eight Australian firms for 2GW AI expansion
Nvidia announced a partnership with eight Australian data center and cloud companies to expand the country's AI computing capacity, aiming to build out up to 2 gigawatts by 2027. This initiative is expected to more than double Australia’s current computing load of 1.6 GW. The partners will deploy Nvidia's DSX platform across their infrastructure, integrating physical and digital components for what the company calls 'AI factories.' Among the participants are IREN, CDC, Sharon AI, Megaport, NEXTDC, Firmus, ResetData, and AirTrunk. Some firms like IREN and CDC already have significant existing capacity or expansion plans in place. Sharon AI is deploying up to 68,000 Nvidia GPUs using advanced networking technologies from the company. Nvidia also highlighted that expanded access to its accelerated computing will enable local organizations such as Heidi and Atlassian to develop tailored AI solutions for Australian industries.
