$950 million over five years will come from a cloud infrastructure agreement Sharon AI said it signed with a global technology company with a major Asia-Pacific presence.
The rollout will span multiple NEXTDC data centers in Australia, with Sharon AI using the Vast Data AI Operating System to combine storage, database, compute and real-time processing.
Revenue from the deployment is expected to begin by the end of Q3 and Q4 2026, tying the contract to Sharon AI’s near-term AI cloud expansion.
Sharon AI said the deal builds on earlier regional agreements as demand stays strong across enterprise, hyperscale, research and AI-native customers in Australia and wider Asia-Pacific.
