That opened the door for Verne Global to provide what others couldn ’ t . Tate explains , “ And so , establishing ourselves as a leader in technology innovation allowed NVIDIA to partner with us and allowed us to become a viable location where NVIDIA ’ s customers can deploy its DGX equipment . And not only a viable location , but one that can fuel the compute with 100 % sustainable power .”
Ward jumps in to emphasise the point , “ This is a really perfect example of what sets us apart because the horsepower behind this box makes it very different from a lot of other servers that you might see in a data centre . It is effectively what would be regarded as a supercomputer in one small box , around
25cm high . It draws a huge amount of power , and because it ' s so dense , highly capable and in such a small form , there are only a few data centres in the world that are capable of housing even just a few of these .”
High density , high-performance computing requires the right infrastructure , which is exactly what Verne Global has done , designing the necessary environment from the ground up to ensure it can cater for all its customers ’ needs and scale their compute on demand . Its capability to handle high density compute capability at scale is what secured Verne Global its preferred partner status with NVIDIA .

Although , as of late , the company has begun seeing increasing competition , it very much remains highly dominant in the industry , and as such , makes for an integral partner and valued trusted advisor . “ Intel caters to the vast majority of server chip technology and architecture that sits inside most data centres ’ compute capability . As a result , we naturally have a very close relationship with the company because so much of that hardware
