WORLD CLASS SOVEREIGN AI INFRASTRUCTURE
Your own dedicated AI infra, built by Zainode
An ideal supplement to your existing cloud strategy, built for your private AI needs.
Made with NVIDIA’s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell GPUs, offering incredible HPC at a fraction of the cost of other GPUs.
Rack-mounted server clusters and high-performance workstations, depending on scale and use case.
Deployed in our DC, your DC or on-prem.
Rent or buy whole machines or fractional compute.
Off internet capability.
MASSIVE HPC POWER
Run serious AI workloads, train models, process data, build inference endpoints
With tools like vLLM, llama.cpp, ExLlama and DeepSpeed you can optimise memory with paged attention, quantisation and MoE routing, all without paying per token, queuing or handing over your data.
WHY HAVE YOUR OWN AI COMPUTE?
Reduce costs, have engineered data control … not policy & hope
Big savings & cost certainty
Public AI + cloud is expensive & variable — we give cost certainty and no sudden price rises.
No data loss
No data leaves your machine. Why would any organisation let public AI or cloud access their ERP data?!
No vendor lock in
No vendor lock-in — deploy models locally with any framework you choose.
Full control
You can’t control latency or availability with cloud compute and public AI.
No throttling
Run as many nodes and workloads as you need, on your own schedule.
No data logging
Your data is logged, rate-limited & uncontrolled with cloud vendors and public AI.
Key attributes of our infra
-
Power use
Our AI servers require extreme rack densities (30–60 kW per rack). Scaling this demands advanced electrical design, intelligent distribution and redundant power systems. Our infra, chips, models and software are carefully designed to minimise energy use and maximise value per watt utilised.
-
Cooling systems
Our closed cooling loops eliminate evaporation, drastically reducing municipal water demand. Our system design prioritises drought resilience and minimal draw from community resources. We have built a novel prototype immersion cooling GPU cluster, we believe an Australian first with significant energy efficiency benefits.
-
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 LLM 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, optimised for AI training and inference. CPU compute includes high-core-count systems for orchestration, preprocessing and hybrid applications. Storage with hot NVMe-based distributed storage for active training datasets; and cool, erasure-coded object storage for archival and compliance requirements.
-
Simple & fast
We can spin up and spin down GPU compute with 24 hours notice. We also engineer controls to prevent unexpected run times, when users forget to pause compute.
-
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. Connect to e.g. Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, AWS, Bard AI, OpenAI, Azure, Kubernetes Engine … all within minutes.
Expertly designed & built by Zainode
-
Custom frame
Built from reliable GoBilda robotics parts to support GPUs securely.
-
Dual boards
Dual PCIe boards — one inside the chassis, one mounted externally.
-
No superfluous cables
No extenders — direct PCIe connections avoid signal loss or lane downgrades.
-
Stable power
Clean power distribution with custom Y-splitters ensure stable power delivery.
-
Tool-less upgrades
PCIe 5.0 boards let you upgrade to newer GPUs without rebuilding.
Technical specs
Most enterprise alternatives require redrivers, PCIe switches, or expensive proprietary layouts. These Zainode builds skip all that complexity.
