Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud provider powering AI growth, today announced a partnership with Karman (formerly Utilidata) to maximize the utilization of available power in Aolani's AI infrastructure through advanced power orchestration. The collaboration aims to address one of the most pressing challenges in the AI industry: the constrained availability of power for high-density GPU workloads. As global demand for AI compute intensifies, intelligent energy management has become crucial for maximizing infrastructure performance and scalability. This partnership underscores how power efficiency is becoming a key competitive differentiator for data center operators and cloud providers.
Through the partnership, Aolani will integrate the Karman platform, a dynamic power orchestration solution that combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI, into its infrastructure stack. Karman is built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano and designed to measure and dynamically allocate available power capacity across high-density GPU workloads, actively managing rack-level energy consumption in real time. This integration enables Aolani to increase infrastructure utilization within its existing power envelope, lowering the cost per unit of compute. The joint proof of concept will be deployed on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform, which is designed for the most demanding AI workloads. The Karman platform has already demonstrated its potential by unlocking 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure at its first commercial deployment in North America, potentially translating into a $20 million increase in revenue per 1 MW.
The implications of this partnership are significant for the AI industry. Power availability is increasingly the limiting factor for AI expansion, as grid connections can take years to secure and power costs continue to rise. By unlocking stranded power capacity, Aolani and Karman are not only improving the economics of AI workloads but also enabling faster scaling of AI infrastructure without waiting for additional power from the grid. This is particularly important in Asia, where Aolani is at the forefront of providing AI compute access. The partnership reflects a broader trend of using intelligent software and hardware to squeeze more performance out of existing resources, rather than solely relying on building new power plants or data centers.
"We are excited to be partnering with Karman to leverage their innovative technology and deliver greater value from existing energy resources," said Nicholas Chia, Chief Executive Officer at Aolani. "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 optimising 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."
