AI Data Center to Receive 50% Capacity Boost with AI Power Orchestration

Utilidata and NexGen Cloud Partner to Scale AI Compute by Unlocking Stranded Energy

Utilidata, a leader in embedded AI for power infrastructure, and NexGen Cloud, Europe’s leading AI cloud provider, today announced the deployment of the Karman AI power control platform across NexGen Cloud’s data centres.

The collaboration is designed to increase available AI compute capacity within existing grid constraints, targeting up to 50% additional usable capacity through intelligent GPU power orchestration and utilisation of stranded energy. The initiative also strengthens infrastructure resilience by introducing real-time, AI-driven power optimisation at the rack level. Karman runs on a custom NVIDIA module and acts as the intelligence layer for next-generation power infrastructure, dynamically balancing performance, efficiency, and reliability across AI workloads.

The initial deployment is a showcase data centre facility in Montreal before a broader rollout across NexGen Cloud’s European operations. For its enterprise customers, the partnership will enable NexGen Cloud’s full stack AI cloud platform, Hyperstack, to deliver more AI capacity at a lower price and with enhanced power-related services for its customers.

The partnership enables Hyperstack to drive superior energy performance through Karman as part of its ambitious secure private cloud expansion — including planned AI Factory deployments across North America and the Nordics, with capacity reaching hundreds of megawatts — and will extend these benefits to users of the Hyperstack on-demand compute service for AI, machine learning, and visualisation applications.

“Power is the single biggest constraint for AI growth today. Billions of dollars of existing capacity are underutilised in data centres worldwide,” said Josh Brumberger, Utilidata CEO. “Karman unlocks that trapped capacity immediately while ensuring new data centres are optimised from day one. We’re excited to partner with NexGen Cloud, a neocloud that understands the urgency of maximising today’s infrastructure and the enormous opportunity in building tomorrow’s most effectively.”

Hyperstack operates across Europe and North America, with infrastructure powered by 100% renewable energy across its European and Canadian data centres. NexGen Cloud, its parent company, is an NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP), positioning it at the forefront of European AI infrastructure. With Karman's embedded intelligence, Hyperstack will unlock massive capacity gains without waiting for grid upgrades or new electrical infrastructure.

"We now live in a world where 100MW+ projects are becoming commonplace. For infrastructure providers like NexGen Cloud servicing such projects, the next critical factor is energy management—specifically, maximising the capacity already on-site. Karman gives us a significant commercial advantage by unlocking that trapped capacity; proving this level of optimisation is a benefit we can then carry over directly to our end customers," said Chris Starkey, CEO of NexGen Cloud.

Utilidata’s custom module, co-developed with NVIDIA, provides the visibility, controls and safety mechanisms necessary to allow data centre operators to fully utilise provisioned power capacity. By sampling at over 1 million times per second and responding with sub-20 millisecond latency, Karman sees and reacts as fast as the servers themselves, providing data-driven, software-defined safety mechanisms to deploy dramatically more GPUs within existing power infrastructure.

As data centres scale to meet AI demand, Karman complements NVIDIA's server-level optimisations with a parallel intelligence layer at the rack, row and building level. While GPUs optimise compute workloads, Karman optimises electrical delivery, creating redundant, distributed visibility and control across both layers.
