BUZZ High Performance Computing<\/a> (BUZZ HPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of HIVE Digital Technologies<\/a> signed a preferred partnership with Bell Canada<\/a> to deliver advanced sovereign NVIDIA AI Infrastructure for Canada through Bell AI Fabric.<\/p>\n

BUZZ HPC will provide Bell\u2019s government and enterprise customers with access to NVIDIA Ampere, NVIDIA Hopper, and NVIDIA Blackwell GPU clusters, scalable over NVIDIA Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking. BUZZ HPC\u2019s large-scale NVIDIA accelerated computing infrastructure, purpose-built for AI, machine learning, and scientific computing, will be integrated with Bell AI Fabric\u2019s advanced fibre network, data centres, and partner ecosystem, including Cohere. This combined capability supports a range of use cases, including developing AI foundational models and fine-tuning existing models all within Canada.<\/p>\n

By expanding accelerated computing infrastructure across multiple provinces, the collaboration ensures true nationwide reach. Canadian innovators will gain access to high performing NVIDIA accelerated computing, hosted in secure, Canadian-owned facilities that comply with strict data residency and cybersecurity regulations.<\/p>\n

\u201cSovereign is the new standard for cloud computing, and this partnership with Bell marks the beginning of a new era for AI innovation in Canada, with NVIDIA-accelerated infrastructure deployed domestically and a global footprint serving international customers, we are uniquely positioned to help Canada lead in AI while protecting its digital independence.\u201d \u2013 Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman, BUZZ HPC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBUZZ and Bell are sovereign by design, built to protect privacy and deliver trusted performance for innovators of all kinds. As a sovereign AI provider and NVIDIA Cloud Partner, our integration with Bell AI Fabric ensures secure, scalable access to accelerated computing across Canada empowering innovators to build globally competitive AI while maintaining full control over their data.\u201d \u2013 Craig Tavares, President and COO, BUZZ HPC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cBUZZ HPC is one of the few Canadian cloud service providers with a purpose-built AI cloud that has experience operating GPU clusters at scale. We are excited to partner with BUZZ HPC for its AI infrastructure solutions \u2013 an important layer in the Bell AI Fabric ecosystem delivering the advanced workloads our customers need in a sovereign, private and secure Canadian facility.\u201d \u2013 John Watson, Group President, Business Markets, AI and Ateko, Bell<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSovereign AI infrastructure provides Canada\u2019s industries with essential computing to grow productivity, foster innovation and create economic opportunities. BUZZ HPC\u2019s NVIDIA infrastructure provides a high-performance AI computing backbone to drive innovation through Bell AI Fabric.\u201d \u2013 Dave Salvator, Director, Accelerated Computing, NVIDIA.<\/p>\n

Launching later this year, BUZZ HPC\u2019s infrastructure will begin with a 5 MW deployment in Manitoba, followed by expansion into other Bell AI Fabric data centres. These deployments are designed to support a wide range of national objectives:<\/p>\n

Secure, sovereign AI:<\/strong> Data and compute infrastructure remain entirely within Canadian-owned facilities, ensuring full compliance with national residency and privacy laws.<\/p>\n

Nationwide access to advanced AI tools:<\/strong> Cutting-edge NVIDIA accelerated computing and high-speed networking deployed across multiple provinces, starting with Manitoba.<\/p>\n

Enhanced innovation and competitiveness:<\/strong> Enables Canadian businesses, researchers, and governments to build world-class AI solutions locally while maintaining global competitiveness.<\/p>\n

Sustainable, scalable growth:<\/strong> Green energy-powered infrastructure designed for long-term expansion supports an eco-conscious path to AI development.<\/p>\n

This partnership forms a comprehensive AI solution for the Bell AI Fabric ecosystem. BUZZ HPC provides the foundational hardware layer for large-scale AI workloads; Cohere delivers customized large language models; Ateko brings specialized professional services; and Bell offers Canada\u2019s most advanced network and data centre backbone all working together to accelerate Canada\u2019s leadership in artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BUZZ High Performance Computing (BUZZ HPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of HIVE Digital Technologies signed a preferred partnership…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":364312,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3164],"tags":[3284,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-364311","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-computing","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115071749022429558","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=364311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/364311\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/364312"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=364311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=364311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=364311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
