In a strategic shift towards enhancing edge computing, Armada recently completed a significant funding round of $131 million. The infusion came from new strategic investors, such as Pinegrove, Veriten, and Glade Brook, along with existing ones.
The funding milestone aligns with the unveiling of Leviathan, claimed as a groundbreaking and ruggedised Mobile Data Center (MDC). Dubbed as a leap in technology, Leviathan delivers intense computing power to areas burdened with challenging communication landscapes. It is designed for rapid deployment and boasts a compute capability at a megawatt-scale.
“American energy and AI dominance hinges on one thing: moving massive compute to the edge—fast—where data and low-cost power live,” said Dan Wright, Co-Founder and CEO of Armada. “...Each unit delivers megawatt-scale performance in a fraction of the time and much more flexibly than traditional data centers, due to their ability to rapidly adapt to changes in AI chips and cooling, and collocate with all available land and energy, regardless of its form or location..”
Leviathan marks a pivotal advancement in Armada's Galleon product range, overshadowing previous technologies with 10 times the compute power. Its design facilitates distributed AI training and inference, contributing substantially to America’s energy and AI supremacy.
Unlike conventional data centres, Leviathan's adaptability allows it to thrive in remote and mission-critical settings, utilising stranded natural gas, solar, or nuclear energy. Its modular nature ensures the infrastructure advantage needed for the U.S. to lead not just in AI software but in foundational systems supporting AI growth.
In a competitive global race, where nations like China increasingly focus on controlling compute and energy chains, the swift operational capabilities of Leviathan ensure the U.S. remains ahead. By providing sovereign and adaptable infrastructure, Armada strengthens the alliance of the U.S. and its partners in AI leadership.
Leveraging the Armada Edge Platform (AEP), Leviathan empowers organisations with autonomous compute capabilities characterised by resilience and adaptability. In collaboration with entities like Fidelis New Energy and Bakken Energy, Armada seeks to deploy this technology in power-abundant U.S. locales, marking a new era of national sovereignty in compute and AI infrastructure.
Pradeep Nair, Armada’s Founding CTO, reiterates that Leviathan represents the ideal belief: hardware should mimic software’s deployability and upgradability. Its integration with the Armada Edge Platform hastens the bridging of digital divides, ensuring AI and data can thrive together at the edge.
