A Neo Cloud Success Story, Powered by NEXTDC
As the demand for AI-powered services skyrockets, SharonAI is leading the charge with a GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) model designed for performance, scale, and certainty. Born from the new wave of Neo Cloud operators, SharonAI delivers infrastructure tailored to high-density AI workloads from large language models to video rendering and scientific simulation.
To achieve this, SharonAI needed a data centre partner that could offer more than just racks and power, one that understood the complexity of GPU infrastructure, supported custom design requirements, ensured true zero-downtime reliability, and enabled seamless connectivity to its ecosystem of customers and services.
The Challenge
SharonAI needed to expand rapidly while meeting enterprise and government-grade uptime, security, and interconnectivity requirements, all while managing dense GPU clusters.
Key challenges:
- 100% uptime and low latency for mission-critical AI workloads
- Seamless interconnectivity across customers, clouds, and edge workloads
- Future-ready infrastructure for NVIDIA DGX-based deployments and GB200 readiness
