Why have your own AI compute?

  • 1. 50% cost savings

    Public AI + cloud is expensive and variable. Zai Node is 50% less and gives cost certainty.

  • 2. You're in control, not big tech

    Don’t be controlled by the power of big tech in terms of cost, availability, latency and IP sharing.

  • 3. No data loss

    No data leaves your machine or environment.

  • 4. No throttling

    Run as many nodes and workloads as you need, on your own schedule.

  • 5. No model lock in

    No vendor lock-in. Deploy models locally with any framework you choose.

  • 6. No data logging

    Your data is logged, rate-limited & uncontrolled with cloud vendors and public AI.

Why Zai Node AI compute?

  • The most efficient compute

    Zai Node’s proprietary builds are the most cost and energy efficient on the market.

  • Best value for money

    Zai Node helps you scale AI with the most cost effective HPC on the market. Connect models, agents, data and work under one lineage system.

  • Flexible design, easy upgrades

    Choose bare metal, managed clusters or APIs and flex anytime in <24 hours.

  • Portability options

    Deploy seamlessly across cloud and/or on-prem; dedicated environments for security, compliance, or performance; or self-hosted for full control.

  • Fast access, zero config

    Achieve peace of mind when standing up AI infra with NVIDIA, app frameworks, dev tools and microservices optimised to run on Zai Node systems.

  • Expert support & warranty

    Hands-on support from dedicated engineers for any infra, OS or ML issues.

Key attributes of Zai Node’s compute

  • Efficient power use

    Our AI servers are built to be the most power efficient on the market with advanced electrical design, intelligent distribution and redundant power systems. Our infra, chips, models and software are designed to minimise energy use and maximise value per watt utilised.

  • Novel cooling

    Our novel prototype immersion cooling GPU cluster is an Australian first with significant energy benefits. Our closed cooling loops eliminate evaporation and drastically reduce water demand.

  • Networking

    Our segregated high-performance network includes hardware management, hypervisor and cluster management, inference serving networks, and training networks with extreme east–west bandwidth (400–800 Gbps per node), enabling frontier model training. Redundancy includes multi-path fibre and automatic failover provide resilience and continuous availability.

  • Compute & storage

    Dense GPU servers with NVLink and PCIe Gen5 architectures. CPUs include high-core-count for orchestration, preprocessing and hybrid applications. Hot NVMe-based distributed storage for active training datasets, and cool erasure-coded object storage for archival and compliance requirements.

  • Quick cross connects

    As we’re colocated in major DCs, cross connects are fast and secure. Ideal for connecting your AI workloads to other devices, networks or DCs, all while avoiding the public internet.

  • Hardware Manifest & Attestation

    For each server or workstation, Zai Node provides fully certified Hardware Manifest and Attestation documentation, ensuring security protocols are met.

  • <24 hour spin up/down

    Spin up and spin in <24 hrs also with controls to stop unexpected run times.

  • Third party inspections

    Unlike hyperscalers, Zai Node makes our infra open for physical and digital third party inspections and verifications.

  • Certificate of Origin

    Our servers and workstations are accompanied by a Certificate of Australian Origin.

A genuine complement to hyperscale AI compute. Sovereign, private, local, low-latency, cost-effective.
