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.
Four solutions. What's right for you?
GPU / CPU as a service
Delivered as fully operated bare metal, this is the best approach if you want Datum to carry the server, network and datacenter CAPEX.
Your CAPEX
meets our expertise
We designed this solution to combine the experience of bare metal with the economics of colocation and the ability to depreciate server CAPEX.
Moving your data
to the compute
We help improve performance and lower costs with regional storage hubs and an optimized network backbone with smart caching. Et voila?
We'll leave the light on
Sometimes you need a helping hand, preferably with a lot of experience, including architecture, supply chain, procurement, deep WhatsApp connections and more.
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.

Questions we hear most often
Hopper (H200), Blackwell (B300), and Blackwell Ultra (GB300). B300 is where most current requests are landing; earlier generations remain available where supply and workload make sense.
We work across established hardware vendors (think Dell, Supermicro, Lenovo, Cisco) plus data center operators from Tier 1 through to single-tenant builds. We help to manage the technical and commercial aspects to ensure a smooth deployment.
Current-generation racks (like the NVL72) run at power densities that go beyond air-cooled environments. In this case, liquid cooling (direct-to-chip or rear-door heat exchange) is a requirement rather than an option. That’s why site selection is as much about a data center’s cooling readiness as its geography or economics.
InfiniBand is the easiest way to stand up a cluster but it is more expensive and locks you into a single vendor (this can mean long lead times). Ethernet is an open ecosystem, which brings a lot of choice. We can walk through the trade-off during scoping.
Yes. Tell us the region, jurisdiction, latency, or power requirements that matter for your workload, and we’ll do our best to fit your needs. We can guide you to appropriate options as well.
It depends mainly on GPU availability, whether you need liquid cooling, and whether an existing facility already fits or needs retrofitting. Obviously, deploying into ready capacity at a qualified site is far faster than standing up new capacity from scratch. As part of the sales process we’ll develop a firm timeline and be transparent about where the risks are likely to emerge.
A hyperscaler rents you shared, multi-tenant capacity. A Datum cluster is built and dedicated to you: GPU generation, networking, cooling, storage, and location are all chosen to fit your needs and economics. In other words, this is a white glove service for serious providers.
By default we handle day-to-day operations (e.g. monitoring, incident response, lifecycle management) so you don’t need to build out an ops team just to keep the cluster running.
