BUZZ HPC, an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, has selected VAST’s AI Operating System as the foundational data layer for its AI cloud, enabling secure and high-throughput access to training data and model artifacts. This partnership supports advanced AI workloads, including training, inference, real-time reasoning, and agentic computing, while maintaining full data sovereignty. BUZZ HPC’s infrastructure serves a global community of enterprises, government agencies, startups, academic institutions, and research teams, driving innovation in AI and high-performance computing (HPC).
The VAST AI Operating System enhances BUZZ HPC’s capabilities through:
Sovereign Data Control: VAST’s Zero Trust architecture ensures compliance with local data residency and national regulations, offering end-to-end auditability and strict access governance for government and enterprise clients.
Global Namespace: VAST DataSpace provides developers with consistent, high-speed access to training data and model artifacts across distributed environments, simplifying collaboration and accelerating AI development.
Multitenant Scalability: VAST’s Disaggregated, Shared-Everything (DASE) architecture separates compute from data while maintaining a unified namespace, enabling BUZZ HPC to scale performance and capacity independently with secure tenant isolation.
Agentic AI Enablement: The VAST AgentEngine supports autonomous agents and reasoning-based workloads, allowing BUZZ HPC customers to transition from static storage to intelligent, real-time computing.
BUZZ HPC’s adoption of VAST’s AI OS strengthens its position as a leader in Canada’s sovereign AI ecosystem. With operations expanding across Canada and the Nordics, BUZZ HPC supports a wide range of use cases, from scientific research to enterprise AI development. The partnership aligns with BUZZ HPC’s mission to provide secure, scalable, and sustainable AI infrastructure powered by renewable energy, as seen in its Tier 3+ data centers with ultra-low Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).
“Our mission is to empower innovators across Canada and beyond with the tools they need to build the future of AI – securely and independently,” said Craig Tavares, President and COO at BUZZ HPC. “The VAST AI OS lets us scale effortlessly while delivering the security and performance our customers demand, and VAST’s AI-native architecture aligns perfectly with our vision of a flexible, sovereign, multitenant AI cloud.”
“BUZZ HPC is laying the groundwork for the next generation of intelligent systems by giving Canadian government agencies, organizations, and model builders a sovereign cloud they can trust,” said Pezhman Sharifi, Director at VAST Data Canada Inc. “With the VAST AI OS at the core of their infrastructure, we are unlocking new capabilities in secure, agentic AI – helping innovators to build and train models with unprecedented speed, scale, and control.”
As the parent company, HIVE Digital Technologies supports BUZZ HPC’s growth through its expertise in sustainable blockchain and AI infrastructure. With a global footprint across Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay, HIVE’s commitment to renewable energy and operational excellence enhances BUZZ HPC’s ability to deliver high-performance computing solutions.
