OneQode's Strategic Move in AI Infrastructure
In a groundbreaking initiative, OneQode, a prominent provider of digital infrastructure, has announced its collaboration with AMD to deploy AMD Instinct™ GPUs. This partnership also outlines future plans for the AMD Helios rack-scale solution, which will serve as a crucial foundation for OneQode’s expansive global AI infrastructure roll-out.
The multi-phase approach to this rollout will see the initial deployments anchored by the AMD Instinct™ MI355X GPUs, with subsequent integration of the AMD Helios solution. This deployment will operate on the open-source AMD ROCm™ software stack, thereby offering customers a standards-based and vendor-neutral foundation for large-scale AI training and inference.
OneQode’s commitment is further emphasized by their recent 110MW AI infrastructure agreement with Bitzero in Norway, aligning with their broader strategy to enhance high-performance AI capabilities throughout Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions. Over the past seven years, OneQode has successfully built a robust cloud and telecommunications framework spanning five continents, uniquely positioned to support low-latency and sovereignty-focused product offerings.
Driving High-Performance AI Workloads
OneQode's ambitious plan aims to cater to a spectrum of demanding AI workloads powered by AMD's advanced AI solutions. This includes frontier-model training and inference, tailored enterprise AI applications, and sovereign solutions for governments, research institutions, and organizations prioritizing AI. As stated by Negin Oliver, AMD's Corporate Vice President of Business Development for AI, "Demanding AI workloads require high-performance compute, scalable infrastructure and an open software ecosystem. AMD Instinct GPUs and the unifying ROCm software stack are designed to facilitate large-scale AI tasks with the necessary performance and efficiency. We are excited to partner with OneQode to improve access to AMD's AI solutions worldwide."
A Vision for the Future
Matthew Shearing, the founder and CEO of OneQode, expressed the importance of strategically placing high-performing AI silicon to meet the needs of customers and organizations in sovereign environments. "After nearly a decade of constructing performance-oriented infrastructure across Europe, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets, our focus is on delivering uptime, low latency, and sovereignty where it matters most," he noted.
Echoing this sentiment, Joe Swinn, OneQode’s Head of Product, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, citing their past successes with AMD EPYC processor-based private cloud implementations. He stated, "The AMD Instinct MI355X is a formidable piece of technology, and with the AMD Helios designed for our customer's specific AI workloads, we anticipate substantial progress in our service offerings. The AMD team's responsiveness has been exceptional, and we are eager to introduce these technologies to our customer base."
