Avant Technologies Enters Co-Development Agreement for High-Density Compute Infrastructure and Supercomputer Network Software

February 28, 2024

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 28, 2024 — Avant Technologies, Inc., an artificial intelligence technology (AI) company specializing in creating and developing innovative and advanced AI infrastructure solutions, announced that the company has entered into a technology co-development partnership with Wired4Tech, Inc., a Florida-based information technology development company, to aid in the design, development, and initial implementations of Avant’s planned high-density compute infrastructure and distributed supercomputing solutions.

Late last year Avant announced that it planned to build the nation’s first supercomputing network to provide big data and AI software companies with a faster, more powerful, and more cost-effective compute infrastructure that would help unlock the full potential of AI.

The Wired4Tech collaboration is intended to help support “last mile” development and testing of Avant’s new high-density private cloud infrastructure solution, while also beginning to lay the foundation for Avant’s planned AI supercomputing network. Avant anticipates initial launch of its next generation infrastructure solution sometime in the first half of 2024.

Avant’s Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Lantz, said of the partnership, “Avant Technologies is excited to partner with Wired4Tech as we continue to progress into the next phase of our AI journey. The technological innovations that we expect this collaboration to yield will help to usher in a new era of performance, cost efficiency and environmental sustainability for AI and Big Data. We have made exciting progress in the past several months, and we believe this partnership will further help to accelerate speed-to-market of our next generation solutions.”

Avant recognizes that growing discontent with big cloud providers combined with the explosive growth over the entirety of the industry provides an opening to disrupt the market with its next generation infrastructure solution and state-of-the-art distributed supercomputer network. The global cloud computing market size was valued at $545.8 billion in 2022, and it is projected to reach $1.24 trillion by 20271.

Within that broader landscape, private cloud and AI are two of the fastest growing subsegments with rapidly increasing demand for better, more cost-effective solutions. The private cloud market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 29.7% – growing to more than $528 billion by 20292, while the global cloud AI market is estimated to grow to $647 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 39.6%.

“We’re at an inflection point where accelerated computing and generative AI have come together to speed innovation at an unprecedented pace,” said Paul Averill, Founder and CEO of Wired4Tech. “Our partnership with Avant Technologies will help AI companies accelerate their work with infrastructure, software and services that drive efficiency and reduce costs. There is no AI without the right infrastructure and Avant will lead the way with its unique and innovative and cost-effective AI platform.”

By leveraging high-performance technologies to deliver superior value and reduce customer operating costs, Avant is well-positioned to exploit the emerging AI cloud infrastructure market growth and opportunities, and with the technology development agreement with Wired4Tech, Inc., innovative technologies are available to Avant to build a next generation supercomputer network for AI companies and disrupt the existing cloud computing marketplace.
