Aolani, a Singapore-founded neocloud provider, has announced a partnership with Karman (formerly Utilidata) to deploy advanced power orchestration across its AI infrastructure. The collaboration, reported via Media OutReach Newswire, seeks to maximize the use of available power in Aolani's data centers, a critical factor as AI compute demand surges globally and grid capacity struggles to keep pace.
The Karman platform combines high-resolution metrology, local processing, and AI to dynamically allocate power across high-density GPU workloads. Built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, it measures and manages rack-level energy consumption in real time, increasing infrastructure utilization within existing power envelopes and lowering the cost per unit of compute. The joint proof of concept will run on the NVIDIA Blackwell Platform.
Karman's technology has already demonstrated significant results. At its first commercial deployment in North America, the platform unlocked 33% more compute capacity from existing power infrastructure, a gain that could translate into a $20 million increase in revenue per megawatt. For Aolani, this partnership represents a strategic move to improve the economics of AI workloads without waiting for grid expansions. "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," said Nicholas Chia, CEO of Aolani.
The implications extend beyond Aolani's bottom line. As AI models grow more demanding, access to power has become a defining constraint for data center operators and cloud providers. Karman CEO Josh Brumberger noted, "Access to power is one of the defining factors in supporting AI adoption and the growth of increasingly demanding AI workloads." By extracting more compute from existing power, the partnership could ease pressure on electrical grids and accelerate AI deployment in Asia, where Aolani aims to be a leading compute provider. The company, founded in 2023, operates AI factories designed for next-generation workloads. More information is available at www.aolani.com.
If successful, the proof of concept could set a precedent for data centers worldwide, showing that intelligent power management is as crucial as raw hardware for scaling AI. With energy costs and availability increasingly shaping the AI landscape, Aolani and Karman's collaboration highlights a path to sustainable growth.
