Nvidia said on Thursday it has entered a set of partnerships with Australian data centre and cloud operators to scale up AI cloud capacity in the country over the next several years. The company specified that it will roll out infrastructure based on its Nvidia DSX platform in collaboration with Australian firms including Firmus, Sharon AI, IREN, ResetData, Megaport, CDC, NextDC and AirTrunk.
In a statement, Nvidia outlined plans to build roughly 2 gigawatts of capacity by 2027. The statement did not include details on the financial arrangements underpinning the partnerships.
"Expanding capacity in Australia will enable local innovators to develop models, applications and agents while supporting additional power generation projects to support regional and global demand for AI compute," Nvidia said.
The new agreements add to existing data centre buildouts already underway in Australia by partners in Nvidia’s AI ecosystem. Nvidia has previously signaled the need to increase data centre capacity worldwide to keep pace with rapidly rising demand for AI computing resources. The company is noted in the announcement as a producer of advanced AI processors.
The announcement lists multiple Australian partners by name. Those partners are expected to host infrastructure built on the Nvidia DSX platform, though the company did not provide granular timelines for individual projects beyond the broader 2027 capacity goal.
Key factual points in the release include the list of named partners, the technology platform to be used, the stated capacity target and the absence of disclosed financial terms. The statement also linked the capacity expansion to support for local development of AI models, applications and agents and to additional power generation projects intended to meet AI compute demand both regionally and globally.
Observers and market participants will be watching how these partnerships translate into deployed capacity and how quickly the targeted 2 gigawatt figure can be realized. The announcement emphasizes infrastructure and power-generation aspects as part of the broader effort to accommodate increasing AI compute requirements.
Summary: Nvidia announced partnerships with multiple Australian data centre and cloud companies to deploy infrastructure on its DSX platform, aiming for about 2 gigawatts of capacity by 2027. Financial terms were not disclosed. The company said the expansion will support local innovation and additional power generation projects to meet AI compute demand.
