Karman (formerly known as Utilidata), a leader in embedded AI for power infrastructure, has enabled NexGen Cloud, a leading European AI cloud provider, to unlock 60% more AI compute capacity within the same provisioned power budget through its power orchestration platform. The successful deployment has led to the two companies extending their partnership for broader rollout across NexGen Cloud's European operations.
Karman enabled NexGen Cloud to unlock 60% more AI compute capacity within the same provisioned power budget.
In the deployment, Karman enabled 16 NVIDIA B300 servers to operate within the power budget provisioned for 10 servers.
The deployment delivered 60% more nameplate compute capacity and token throughput while maintaining inference quality and reliability.
The deployment took place in a commercial data center cluster managed by NexGen Cloud in Montreal.
Karman maintained performance across power profiles, from steady moderate loads to sustained high-power loads.
The Karman platform responds within 20 milliseconds to continuously optimize power and acts within 2 milliseconds to limit power when demand threatens to exceed the budget.
"The fastest, low-cost way to scale AI today is by getting more compute out of the infrastructure already built," said Josh Brumberger, Karman CEO. "Data centers hold power in reserve for worst-case scenarios that rarely happen. Karman turns that stranded capacity into usable compute. We're excited to bring this value to NexGen Cloud and their customers."
"As demand for AI compute continues to accelerate, efficiency is becoming just as important as capacity. The results we've achieved with Karman demonstrate that we can deliver significantly more compute from our existing infrastructure without requiring additional provisioned power," said Chris Starkey, CEO of NexGen Cloud. "This creates a compelling opportunity to improve infrastructure utilization, accelerate deployment and ultimately deliver greater value to our customers. We're excited to build on these results as we expand our partnership across Europe."
The results demonstrate a scalable solution for addressing the biggest constraint facing the AI and energy sectors today. As demand for AI compute continues to soar, data center operators face a mismatch between available AI infrastructure and the power capacity needed to run it. Adding new electrical capacity can require significant time and investment, while Karman is designed to address that constraint today by unlocking trapped capacity.
The Karman platform, powered by a custom NVIDIA module, provides the visibility, controls, and safety mechanisms data center operators need to fully utilize their provisioned power capacity.
About Karman
Karman is an AI company providing dynamic power orchestration for AI data centers, enabling operators to better utilize the power already available to them. By embedding real-time visibility and millisecond control directly into power distribution equipment, Karman increases tokens per watt by at least 50% by unlocking stranded power. The Karman platform is built on a custom NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano, and was previously embedded into smart meters to bring real-time visibility and power-flow control to the electric grid.
