ResetData launches Aussie first sovereign public AI-Factory

Cloud services provider, ResetData, has launched Australia’s first sovereign public AI-Factory (AI-F1), and a business-focused online AI Marketplace. 

ResetData AI factories will feature high-density NVIDIA H200 GPU clusters and liquid cooling to deliver new artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and large language model (LLM) capabilities on-shore and on-demand. 

Located in Melbourne’s CBD and scheduled to begin operations in the second quarter 2025, the new multi-megawatt AI-F1 supercomputer represents a major step forward in Australia’s AI capabilities. 

Customers will be able to deploy AI in production using NVIDIA NIM microservices, as part of the NVIDIA AI enterprise software platform. 

“Our AI Factories will transform the competitive landscape for Australian businesses. Access to this technology was previously limited to a small number of private GPU clusters,” ResetData joint CEO Bass Salah said.

“Our AI Factory rollout opens up access to AI to accelerate Australia’s economic growth.”

The ResetData AI marketplace offers live NVIDIA-certified AI models for immediate deployment. 

At launch, the range of AI solutions will serve accounting, legal, retail, technology and engineering teams. 

“We developed the AI marketplace so that businesses can take on the best tools that are available in the market, but continually iterate the most current tools that become available and more efficient in terms of the cost,” Salah said.

ResetData co-CEO Marcel Zalloua added it was embarking on this journey to really solve the problems for businesses and simplify the ability for them to adopt AI sustainably.

“ResetData is putting Australian IT on a more energy-efficient and sustainable footing with 40 per cent lower costs, 45 per cent fewer emissions, and zero wastewater,” Salah said. 

“These efficiencies are of national importance, as data centres already use a twentieth of the nation’s power supply and are growing rapidly. 

“Ultra-high density, low-latency CBD AI factories are the industry’s future.”

To meet surging enterprise demand for AI computing, ResetData anticipates a potential pipeline of AI factories in the short-term with ten times the cooling efficiency and one tenth the floorspace requirements of legacy data centres.

“Our philosophy at ResetData is how can we actually make them smaller or repurpose existing facilities and make them more efficient, saving a hell of a lot of energy, carbon footprint and also putting spaces to work that are traditionally probably underutilised,” Zalloua said. 

“The technology, particularly the cooling, allows us to do that.”

ResetData is a member of the NVIDIA Cloud Partner program and has also reached Dell Technologies Titanium partner status.

In August 2024, Australian real estate funds manager, Centuria Capital Group secured a 50 per cent stake in ResetData as part of a dual PropCo (Property Company) and OpCo (Operating Company) strategy. 

Centuria aims to leverage ResetData to unlock value from vacancies within its office portfolio by establishing a network of CBD AI factories. 

“By democratising access to AI, we are leveling the playing field for businesses on all sides,” Centuria co-CEO Jason Huljich said. 

“ResetData is positioning our nation at the forefront of AI innovation, for too long Australia has lagged behind the large scale GPU cluster deployment, putting our businesses and economy at a disadvantage.

“We are changing that narrative. ResetData is elevating corporate Australia to a new level of competitiveness and technological progress.”
