SHARON AI has announced an agreement with NEXTDC to expand its data center footprint by up to 50 megawatts of capacity throughout NEXTDC’s data center network in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The company highlights that this expansion will build on existing high-density graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters, such as the SHARON AI Supercluster located within NEXTDC’s M3 Tier IV data center in Melbourne. The agreement grants SHARON AI access to data center environments that can support deployments of more than 20,000 NVIDIA B200, B300, or GB300 GPUs.

According to NEXTDC, this partnership is engineered for large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) applications, utilizing high-density infrastructure specifically designed for accelerated GPU computing. The company states that secure, sovereign infrastructure is a key requirement for advanced AI workloads, particularly those demanding robust performance and data sovereignty across the Asia-Pacific region.

SHARON AI reports that this expansion enables the company to increase its GPU fleet and cloud compute capacity for enterprise, government, and research clients throughout the region. The company specializes in high-performance computing and cloud GPU platforms, with a focus on powering AI workloads and supporting accelerated computing adoption.

Craig Scroggie, CEO of NEXTDC, stated, “AI infrastructure is the foundation of the intelligence economy,” and continued, “SHARON AI, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is deploying sovereign, high-density GPU capacity engineered for AI at speed and scale. This collaboration highlights the rapid acceleration of global AI development and the essential role that secure, sovereign infrastructure plays in enabling this growth across the region.”
