Much of the generative AI model training has occurred overseas, in the US or China, but that may be about to change with a new offering from Melbourne-based ResetData.
ResetData has announced a new collaboration with Nvidia to build a GPU cluster of H200 GPUs. While they don’t specify how large the cluster is, this is likely to have quite a decent scale, given the power requirements are detailed as multi-megawatt.
If the consumption was 2MW, the cluster would feature 2,857 H200s, while a cluster consuming 10MW would equate to 14,280 GPUs.
This is being described as Australia’s first sovereign public AI-Factory, and a business-focused online AI Marketplace.
The GPU cluster is located in Melbourne’s CBD and scheduled to begin operations in Q2, 2025. These new offerings will enable businesses and government teams of all sizes to accelerate innovation, boost productivity and drive Australia’s international competitiveness.
Many businesses have been concerned about training Large Language Models (LLM) using off-shore compute, so this has the capacity to attract a lot of attention, particularly among government entities that have strict on-shore data policies. Customers will be able to deploy AI in production using NVIDIA NIM microservices, as part of the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform.
“Our AI Factories will transform the competitive landscape for Australian businesses. Access to this technology was previously limited to a small number of private GPU clusters. Our AI Factory rollout opens up access to Artificial Intelligence to accelerate Australia’s economic growth.
“The ResetData AI marketplace offers live NVIDIA-certified AI models for immediate deployment. At launch, our fast-growing range of AI solutions will serve accounting, legal, retail, technology and engineering teams.
“ResetData is putting Australian IT on a more energy-efficient and sustainable footing with 40% lower costs, 45% fewer emissions, and zero wastewater. These efficiencies are of national importance, as data centres already use a twentieth of the nation’s power supply and are growing rapidly. Ultra-high density, low-latency CBD AI factories are the industry’s future.” – Joint CEO of ResetData, Bass Salah
ResetData is a member of the NVIDIA Cloud Partner program.
“ResetData’s supercomputer-scale AI Factories and AI marketplace are making unprecedented sovereign AI capabilities available to the Australian government and enterprises. With the NVIDIA H200 AI system, ResetData helps organisations to accelerate digital transformation and capitalise on AI investments.” – Sudarshan Ramachandran, Country Manager for Enterprise, ANZ region, NVIDIA.
The announcement comes at a crucial time, as Australia starts to scale GPU cluster deployments for AI that were previously limited a select few private enterprises, universities and government clusters.
To meet surging enterprise demand for AI computing, ResetData anticipates a potential pipeline of AI factories in the short-term with 10 times the cooling efficiency and one tenth the floorspace requirements of legacy data centres.
ResetData is SOC2 and ISO27001 certified, ensuring data integrity and protection at the highest standards.
