Aligned Data Centers has announced a significant partnership with Lambda, the AI Developer Cloud, aimed at delivering advanced data center infrastructure and cloud solutions tailored for the next generation of AI workloads. This collaboration is centered around Aligned’s latest facility, DFW-04, located in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, a region experiencing a surge in demand for AI computing resources.
Designed as a liquid-cooled data center capable of handling the highest-density GPUs, DFW-04 will become a key location for Lambda’s expanding AI cloud platform.
Andrew Schaap, CEO of Aligned Data Centers, emphasized the importance of this collaboration in meeting the growing needs of AI developers and companies integrating AI into their business models. He noted that combining Lambda’s specialized GPU cloud with Aligned’s AI-ready data centers will play a critical role in supporting the compute-intensive workloads driven by AI innovations, particularly as demand surges in competitive markets like Dallas.
Aligned has positioned itself at the forefront of adaptable and sustainable data center development. Its facilities are designed to support a wide range of workloads, from traditional enterprise applications to the high-density demands of modern AI environments. The company’s use of advanced air, liquid, and hybrid cooling systems, alongside its Adaptive Modular Infrastructure (AMI), allows for flexible and future-proof IT deployments. These technologies maximize the lifespan of infrastructure assets while enabling rapid scaling to meet evolving business needs.
For over a decade, Aligned has been an industry leader in energy-efficient and sustainable data center solutions. Its patented Delta3 air-cooled system and the new DeltaFlow liquid cooling technology have been recognized for enabling high-performance, high-density environments critical for AI workloads. DeltaFlow, in particular, is engineered to support nearly any density requirement, providing optimal conditions for AI innovation. This commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainability made Aligned a natural partner for Lambda’s continued growth.
AI-Optimized Workload Solutions
Lambda’s AI Developer Cloud is trusted by leading AI engineers and institutions shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Its client portfolio includes some of the largest technology firms, trillion-dollar corporations, global research organizations, and promising AI startups. By integrating its AI Cloud platform into Aligned’s DFW-04 facility, Lambda aims to provide its clients with access to infrastructure that not only supports today’s AI models but is also ready for the next generation of AI technologies, including those powered by NVIDIA Blackwell and NVIDIA Blackwell Ultra platforms.
Ken Patchett, Vice President of Data Center Infrastructure at Lambda, highlighted the significance of Aligned’s capabilities in supporting large, flexible deployments tailored to the unique demands of AI workloads. He praised Aligned’s ability to quickly deliver AI-ready infrastructure and its focus on providing a world-class, high-touch customer experience. Patchett noted that deploying AI at scale presents considerable challenges, and Aligned’s commitment to innovation, energy efficiency, and rapid deployment is critical in helping Lambda meet the scale, performance, and speed requirements of its public and private cloud offerings.
This partnership would reflect a broader trend among technology infrastructure providers to align their offerings with the rapidly evolving needs of AI-driven industries. By leveraging each other’s strengths, Aligned and Lambda aim to create a robust, scalable foundation for AI innovation, enabling faster, more efficient deployment of AI applications across a range of sectors.
