HIVE Digital, through its subsidiary BUZZ HPC, acquires a site in Toronto to establish its first Tier 3 data center focused on AI infrastructure.
The facility will undergo upgrades to accommodate liquid cooling systems and house up to 5,000 high-performance GPUs to support large-scale AI training and inference operations for clients in Canada.
Craig Tavares, president and COO of BUZZ HPC, highlights the significance of building AI infrastructure within national borders to meet the increasing demand for HPC and AI compute capacity.
The project aims to ensure data residency and digital sovereignty by maintaining ownership and control of AI infrastructure in Canada.
The data center will have the capability to handle sensitive government and enterprise workloads, contributing to Canada's AI leadership and innovation.
