Singapore-based AI cloud provider Aolani has announced a partnership with Karman, formerly Utilidata, to deploy advanced power orchestration technology across its AI infrastructure. The collaboration aims to fully utilize available power, unlocking up to 50% more AI compute capacity without increasing provisioned power, according to the companies.
The Karman platform, built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI to measure and dynamically allocate power across high-density GPU workloads. It manages rack-level energy consumption in real time, increasing infrastructure utilization within existing power envelopes and lowering 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 a 33% increase in compute capacity from existing power infrastructure at its first commercial deployment in North America, potentially translating into a $20 million increase in revenue per megawatt.
As global demand for AI compute intensifies, intelligent energy management has become crucial for maximizing AI infrastructure performance and scalability. Aolani, which positions itself as a neocloud powering AI growth in Asia, is continuously investing in technologies that optimize power use to drive greater efficiency and value from AI deployments.
"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 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. Data centers face increasing constraints on grid capacity, and unlocking stranded power can significantly enhance returns on investment. For Aolani, which was founded in 2023 and is backed by purpose-built infrastructure, this move could strengthen its position in Asia's fast-growing AI market.
