Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud provider powering AI growth, has announced a partnership with Karman, formerly Utilidata, to maximize the utilization of available power in its AI infrastructure through advanced power orchestration. The collaboration aims to unlock up to 50% more AI compute capacity within the same provisioned power, a significant development as global demand for AI compute intensifies and energy constraints become a defining challenge for data center operators and cloud providers.
The partnership will see Aolani integrate the Karman platform, a dynamic power orchestration system that combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI, into its infrastructure stack. Built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, the platform measures and dynamically allocates available power capacity across high-density GPU workloads, actively managing rack-level energy consumption in real time. This increases infrastructure utilization within the facility's existing power envelope and lowers the cost per unit of compute.
The joint proof of concept will be deployed on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform. Karman's technology has already demonstrated its potential: at its first commercial deployment in North America, it unlocked 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure, potentially translating into a $20 million increase in revenue per megawatt. This track record suggests that the partnership with Aolani could yield even greater gains as they target 50% improvement.
Nicholas Chia, Chief Executive Officer at Aolani, commented, "We are excited to be partnering with Karman to leverage their innovative technology and deliver greater value from existing energy resources. 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 optimising 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."
Josh Brumberger, CEO of Karman, 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 implications of this announcement extend beyond Aolani's operations. As AI models grow in size and complexity, the ability to extract more compute from existing power infrastructure becomes critical for economic and operational viability. By unlocking stranded power, Aolani and Karman are addressing a key bottleneck in AI scalability—power availability—without requiring new energy sources or grid upgrades. This could accelerate AI adoption in Asia, where Aolani is positioned as a leading provider. For more information, visit www.aolani.com.
