Sharon AI Secures $1.7 Billion in Cloud Computing Contracts Starting 2027

Sharon AI and Rafay Systems Strike Five-Year Multi-Region Deal

Transitioning to a Unified International Operating Framework

The collaboration marks a structural shift for Sharon AI as the company transitions from managing individual cluster deployments to maintaining a consistent operating framework designed to support growth, particularly across the Asia-Pacific region and globally. According to the announcement, the Rafay platform supplies essential automation, observability, and secure multi-tenancy capabilities required to manage advanced infrastructure efficiently.

Sharon AI is delivering the trusted infrastructure and operational capabilities required to help customers realize measurable value, said James Manning, co-founder and chief executive officer of Sharon AI, as reported by PR Newswire. Our agreement with Rafay gives us a standardized platform for orchestrating and managing AI infrastructure across our expanding footprint. This should enable us to manage our compute capacity more efficiently, accelerate service delivery and provide customers with a consistent and secure experience as we scale.

Powering Massive GPU Fleets Through a Single Control Plane

The newly established architecture is built to orchestrate up to 150,000 graphics processing units over the course of the five-year agreement. This operational layer sits above the underlying physical infrastructure, offering infrastructure lifecycle management, workload orchestration, governance, and monitoring for both Kubernetes and virtual machine environments through a single control plane.

Abstracting Hardware Complexity for Enterprise Customers

By abstracting the complexity involved in procuring and deploying advanced compute resources, the setup allows customers to access necessary AI capabilities without owning or operating physical hardware. The agreement also aims to build Sharon AI’s internal expertise around the platform to maintain uniform operating standards.

Operating AI infrastructure at scale requires more than access to GPU capacity, said Haseeb Budhani, co-founder and chief executive officer of Rafay Systems, according to PR Newswire. Providers also need the orchestration, automation and governance capabilities required to transform that infrastructure into secure, reliable and production-ready AI services. Sharon AI is building a highly scalable AI infrastructure platform for customers across Asia-Pacific and beyond, and we are proud to provide an operational foundation that can support its continued growth.
