# GPU clusters, built and operated by folks you can trust Leverage our decades of experience, deep industry relationships, flexible platform, and operational muscle to accelerate your business. ## Like wealth managers, but for AI companies It's no easy task to assemble all the pieces of the digital infrastructure puzzle, and each situation at scale is unique. That's why we show up with a simple promise: put the work in, be honest and transparent, and do our best to help you win. - **Architecture & design** - Cluster topology, rack layout, and system design matched to your requirements. - **Supply chain** - Sourcing GPUs, servers, and networking gear from vetted hardware partners. - **Data center and power** - Facility capacity that fits your power, cooling, and location requirements. - **Beyond bare metal** - We deliver fully managed bare metal as well as the right connectivity and orchestration. - **Cluster Networking** - We follow best practices and can deliver either InfiniBand or Ethernet based deployments. - **Operations** - Day-to-day management, monitoring, and incident response once the cluster is live. ## 25 years in the trenches - **Not our first rodeo** - Our core team has been in the hosting, bare metal, global networks, and datacenter game since the early 2000's. We love this stuff! - **Transparent & honest** - Foundational infrastructure is all about trust, and we earn it by being upfront, showing the details behind the numbers, and showing up with integrity. - **Industry relationships** - Securing the supply chain for advanced GPU clusters involves agility and iteration. We orchestrate hardware, power and facility stakeholders so you don't have to. - **Technology & operations** - AI infrastructure requires advanced networking, platform automation, and operational muscle. That's where we earn our keep, and where we shine. ## We're operators at heart - **Zac Smith, Co-Founder, CEO** - Twenty years building bare metal and interconnected infrastructure for demanding customers. - **Megan O'Conner, Chief of Staff & Strategic Accounts** - Turns complex infrastructure into clear, human-led paths to what's next for our biggest accounts. - **Shelby Lindsey, Lead Network Engineer** - A physical networking guru who oversees our backbone, peering, and edge fabrics. - **Nicholas Schmidt, GPU Solutions** - Two-plus decades building internet infrastructure, now bringing that range to compute and capacity here at Datum. ## Talk to our team Let us know what you're building. We'll come back within 1-2 business days, arrange a scoping call, and bring the right folks to the table. ## Frequently asked questions - What NVIDIA GPU generations can I deploy with Datum? - What hardware and data center partners do you work with? - Why liquid cooling, and what does that mean for site selection? - What's the difference between choosing InfiniBand and Ethernet for my cluster? - Can I choose where my cluster is physically located? - How long does it take to go from configuration to a running cluster? - How is this different from renting GPU capacity from a hyperscaler? - Who operates the cluster once it's live: Datum, or my own team? --- Source:
