Lightstorm, Asia-Pacific’s leading digital infrastructure and connectivity provider, and Arrcus, the leader in distributed networking infrastructure, have announced a strategic partnership to deliver purpose-built networking solutions tailored for distributed AI inference and training workloads. The collaboration integrates Arrcus’ intelligent routing capabilities with Lightstorm’s Polarin Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform, enabling automated, policy-driven connectivity across geographically distributed data centers. This joint solution addresses key AI infrastructure challenges such as latency consistency for real-time inference, deterministic bandwidth for large-scale training, programmable provisioning, and compliance with regional data sovereignty requirements.
“Our partnership with Lightstorm enables AI operators across Asia-Pacific to optimize network performance and improve infrastructure efficiency,” said Shekar Ayyar, Chairman & CEO, Arrcus.
“AI infrastructure requires the network to behave like part of the compute fabric. By integrating Arrcus’ routing intelligence with our Polarin NaaS platform, we’re enabling inference and training workloads to scale across Asia-Pacific without compromising performance or compliance with data sovereignty requirements,” said Amajit Gupta, Group CEO & MD, Lightstorm.
As Asia-Pacific emerges as a critical hub for AI infrastructure investment, the partnership positions both companies to meet rising demand for scalable, high-performance connectivity. The integrated solution enhances inference response times, accelerates model training, simplifies operational complexity, and lowers total cost of ownership through better resource utilization—critical factors for AI operators managing distributed workloads at scale.
