Problem
Enterprises that rent GPU compute from hyperscalers must route every query, training run, and data set through infrastructure outside their legal jurisdiction, exposing sensitive data to foreign legal regimes and limiting control over AI assets. This model also creates unpredictable performance, scaling constraints, and compliance gaps for regulated sectors that require strict data residency and guaranteed service levels.
Solution
Net Zero Compute delivers a self‑service AI Factory that combines 100 % renewable Norwegian hydropower with a full‑stack NVIDIA AI Enterprise environment. The offering bundles high‑performance Hopper and Blackwell GPUs, managed Kubernetes with GPU‑native orchestration, and the complete NVIDIA software suite (NeMo, NIM, RAPIDS, TensorRT, Triton) into a single, production‑ready service. All layers—from energy supply to model deployment—operate under Norwegian jurisdiction, providing GDPR‑native data residency and immunity from extraterritorial statutes such as the US CLOUD Act. Customers receive reserved baseline capacity with elastic burst capability, SLA‑backed availability, and isolated namespaces for each workload, enabling continuous, secure AI operations without the need to build or maintain their own infrastructure.
Target Audience
The service targets enterprise AI teams, regulated industries (finance, healthcare, energy, public sector), and AI‑native product companies that require production‑grade compute, strict data residency, and predictable SLA guarantees.
Features
- Renewable hydropower supply from an on‑site Norwegian hydro plant, ensuring stable, carbon‑free baseline power for compute workloads.
- Latest‑generation NVIDIA Hopper (H100) and Blackwell GPUs with NVLink high‑bandwidth interconnect, optimized for training, fine‑tuning, and high‑throughput inference.
- Managed Kubernetes cluster with GPU‑aware scheduling, namespace isolation, and automated SLA monitoring to guarantee predictable performance.
- Full NVIDIA AI Enterprise stack (NeMo for conversational AI, NIM model hub, RAPIDS data science acceleration, TensorRT inference optimization, Triton serving) delivered as an operational service.
- Sovereign data architecture: all data, model weights, and inference results remain within Norwegian infrastructure, complying with GDPR and avoiding US CLOUD Act exposure.
- Capacity model featuring reserved baseline throughput plus on‑demand elastic scaling, available across Startup, Enterprise, and Pro Cluster tiers.
- Integrated monitoring and support portal providing real‑time health metrics, incident response, and compliance reporting for regulated environments.
