This work is in collaboration with Dell Technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headquartered in Europe and operating globally, Nscale is a vertically integrated AI cloud provider with owned and colocated data centres, GPU clusters, orchestration and AI services. By meeting the surging enterprise demand for GPUs \u2013 the engines driving artificial intelligence \u2013 Nscale is building advanced AI infrastructure platforms to provide customers the technology they need for future advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNscale is proud to partner with Microsoft on this historic AI infrastructure contract,\u201d said Josh Payne, founder and CEO, Nscale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis agreement confirms Nscale\u2019s place as a partner of choice for the world\u2019s most important technology leaders. Few companies are equipped to deliver GPU deployments at this scale, but we have the experience and have built the global pipeline to do so. The pace with which we have expanded our capacity demonstrates both our readiness and our commitment to efficiency, sustainability and providing our customers with the most advanced technology available. It\u2019s a clear signal that Nscale is setting a new standard for how the next wave of AI infrastructure will be delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTogether with Nscale, Microsoft is delivering cutting-edge AI infrastructure for our customers,\u201d said Jon Tinter, President, Business Development and Ventures, Microsoft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur agreement, announced today, demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that our products are available globally with sustainability and scalability in mind. Nscale is an ideal partner for this mission, given its deep expertise in providing AI infrastructure services at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nscale will deliver approximately 104,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs in a ~240MW hyperscale AI campus in Texas, supporting the phased delivery of NVIDIA AI infrastructure services to Microsoft from Q3 2026. The site is leased from Ionic Digital and Nscale plans to scale its footprint to 1.2GW over time, with Microsoft holding an option on a second phase of 700MW starting in late 2027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Q1 2026, Nscale will deliver approximately 12,600 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs at the Start Campus data centre in Sines, Portugal. This multi-year agreement will see Nscale deliver NVIDIA AI infrastructure services to Microsoft while providing European customers with sovereign AI solutions within the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This deal builds on plans announced by Nscale and Microsoft in September to deliver the UK\u2019s largest NVIDIA AI supercomputer at Nscale\u2019s Loughton AI Campus. The 50MW facility, scalable to 90MW, will house approximately 23,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs from Q1 2027 to power Microsoft Azure services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This builds on the recent announcement that the Aker-Nscale joint venture signed a multi-year agreement to deliver approximately 52,000 NVIDIA GB300 GPUs to Microsoft from its hyperscale AI campus in Narvik, Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement further strengthens the UK-US Tech Partnership, established during last month\u2019s US Presidential state visit to the UK, and Nscale says it looks forward to future milestones that will continue to build on this collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The large-scale agreement between Nscale and Microsoft marks one of the biggest AI infrastructure deals ever signed, expanding their partnership to deploy NVIDIA-powered hyperscale data centres across Europe and the US.
