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

The NEXTDC Solution

NEXTDC delivered a purpose-built, AI-optimised colocation environment with:

  • DGX-Certified Facilities: Supporting NVIDIA DGX platforms, with pre-qualified infrastructure for A100, H100, and GB200 systems
  • Custom, build-to-suit data halls for SharonAI’s exact power, cooling, and rack density needs
  • Uptime Institute IV-certified facilities with a 100% uptime SLA
  • Interconnect speeds up to 100Gbps and access to cloud on-ramps
  • AI infrastructure experts collaborating with SharonAI’s technical leads to fast-track deployment

DGX-Certified Advantage

NEXTDC’s NVIDIA DGX-Certified status ensures that SharonAI operates in an environment engineered for AI scale.

  • AI-Ready from Day One: No retrofitting just instant compatibility
  • Faster Time-to-Deploy: Skip design delays and start scaling
  • Engineered for the Future: Optimised for high-density GPU clusters, including GB200 systems

Results

Thanks to NEXTDC’s infrastructure and support:

  • SharonAI achieved 100% uptime for its AI workloads
  • Scaled GPUaaS platform across Australia’s east coast
  • Simplified network architecture via NEXTDC's virtual interconnectivity ecosystem

Why It Matters

This isn’t just about infrastructure. It’s about enabling Neo Cloud operators like SharonAI to:

  • Enter new markets with confidence
  • Deliver GPU-powered AI services with speed and precision
  • Meet sovereign, regulatory, and enterprise-grade expectations
