Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud provider powering AI growth, announced a partnership with Karman (formerly Utilidata) to fully utilize the available power of its AI infrastructure through advanced power orchestration. The collaboration aims to unlock up to 50% more AI compute capacity within the same provisioned power, a significant development as global demand for AI compute intensifies and energy management becomes crucial for scalability.
Under the agreement, Aolani will integrate the Karman platform into its infrastructure stack. Karman’s dynamic power orchestration platform combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI, built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. It measures and dynamically allocates available power capacity across high-density GPU workloads, managing rack-level energy consumption in real time. This increases infrastructure utilization within the facility’s existing power envelope and lowers the cost per unit of compute.
The joint proof of concept will be deployed on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform. Karman’s platform has already demonstrated its potential in a first commercial deployment in North America, where it unlocked 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure. That deployment could translate into a $20 million increase in revenue per megawatt, highlighting the substantial economic impact of improved power efficiency.
Nicholas Chia, Chief Executive Officer at Aolani, said, “We are excited to be partnering with Karman to leverage their innovative technology and deliver greater value from existing energy resources. For Aolani, this represents an opportunity to further improve the economics of AI workloads and reflects our commitment to continuously enhancing our AI infrastructure platform. By optimizing how power is allocated and used, we can help customers scale their AI ambitions and strengthen our ability to deliver the compute capacity quickly without waiting on the grid.”
Karman CEO Josh Brumberger added, “Access to power is one of the defining factors in supporting AI adoption and the growth of increasingly demanding AI workloads. As we continue to advance alongside the latest generation of GPU systems, we look forward to working with Aolani to demonstrate how our Karman platform can fully utilize the power already available to data center operators and cloud providers.”
The partnership addresses a critical bottleneck in AI infrastructure: power availability. As AI models grow in complexity and size, data centers face constraints in securing sufficient power to run high-density GPU clusters. By unlocking stranded power, Aolani and Karman aim to enable faster scaling of AI compute without the lengthy delays associated with grid upgrades. This is particularly important in Asia, where Aolani is positioned as a leading provider of AI compute access. The company, founded in 2023 and headquartered in Singapore, operates AI factories designed for next-generation AI workloads. For more information, visit www.aolani.com.
The collaboration underscores a broader trend in the AI industry: optimizing existing resources rather than solely relying on new power generation. With Karman’s technology, Aolani expects to improve the economics of AI deployments and help customers scale their AI initiatives more efficiently. The proof of concept will test the integration on NVIDIA’s latest Blackwell platform, which is designed for demanding AI workloads. If successful, the partnership could set a precedent for other cloud providers seeking to maximize compute capacity within their current power budgets.
