The demand for efficient and scalable AI infrastructure is pushing innovation to the network edge. 365 Data Centers, a leading provider of network-centric colocation and cloud services, has announced a transformative partnership with Robot Network to meet this demand. The collaboration unveils a new AI-enabled platform that integrates colocation, cloud, and network capabilities to deliver intelligent, scalable infrastructure, effectively transforming data centers from passive hosting sites into an active optimization layer for artificial intelligence.
365 Data Centers partnered with Robot Network to launch a private cloud AI platform.
The solution leverages colocation facilities as an optimization layer for AI workloads.
It uses small-language models to handle over 90% of workloads locally at the edge.
The platform aims to reduce total AI operating costs and increase data center efficiency.
It is built on a stack optimized for AMD EPYC processors and NVIDIA GPUs.
The partnership enables secure, agentic AI to run in smaller, 10-50 kW footprints.
This partnership introduces a novel infrastructure pattern designed to optimize costs and performance. By leveraging Robot Network's proprietary AI stack within 365's data centers, the solution can process the vast majority of AI workloads entirely within the edge facility. This approach reserves high-density, core AI processing only for the most demanding tasks, significantly reducing latency and data transfer costs. The result is a new class of hybrid AI infrastructure that makes advanced AI more accessible and affordable for enterprises by maximizing revenue per watt for colocation providers.
The joint platform is designed to help enterprises transition confidently to an AI-enabled operational model. It provides integrated, private cloud AI solutions supporting small-language models, analytics, business intelligence, and custom capabilities. By hosting these services in a secure, colocated environment, the platform addresses key concerns around data sovereignty, security, and compliance. This allows organizations across finance, healthcare, and e-commerce to deploy governed and auditable AI workflows without the complexity and cost of hyperscale cloud providers.
The launch of this AI-enabled platform marks a significant evolution in the role of colocation data centers. By fusing robust infrastructure with intelligent AI software, 365 Data Centers and Robot Network are providing a practical, cost-effective path for enterprises to harness the power of AI, driving long-term value and accelerating digital transformation.
