Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud powering AI growth, has announced a partnership with Karman (formerly Utilidata) to maximize the utilization of available power in Aolani's AI infrastructure through advanced power orchestration. The collaboration aims to address the pressing challenge of power availability in AI data centers, where rising compute demands strain existing energy resources. By integrating Karman's dynamic power orchestration platform, Aolani expects to unlock up to 50% more AI compute capacity from the same provisioned power, significantly improving the economics of AI workloads.
The Karman platform combines high-resolution metrology with local processing and AI to measure and dynamically allocate power capacity across high-density GPU workloads. Built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, it actively manages rack-level energy consumption in real time, increasing infrastructure utilization within the facility's existing power envelope and lowering the cost per unit of compute. The joint proof of concept will be deployed on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform, showcasing how intelligent energy management can enhance AI scalability.
This partnership matters because power constraints have become a critical bottleneck for AI expansion worldwide. Data centers often struggle to secure additional grid capacity, delaying deployments and inflating costs. Karman's platform has already demonstrated its potential: in its first commercial deployment in North America, it unlocked 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure, translating to a potential $20 million increase in revenue per megawatt. By applying this technology, Aolani can help customers scale their AI ambitions without waiting for grid upgrades, reinforcing its position as a leading AI compute provider in Asia.
Nicholas Chia, Chief Executive Officer at Aolani, emphasized the strategic value: "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."
Karman CEO Josh Brumberger 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 extend beyond Aolani. As AI models grow larger and more power-hungry, the ability to extract more compute from existing power infrastructure becomes a competitive advantage. This partnership signals a shift toward smarter, software-defined power management in data centers, potentially setting a new standard for efficiency. For Aolani, which is headquartered in Singapore and backed by purpose-built infrastructure, the move strengthens its offering in the world's fastest-growing AI market.
