Datacenter Supply Chain

How we secure the power, storage, and grid integration behind every InferaStack deployment.


Why supply chain matters for sovereign AI

Compute is only as sovereign and resilient as the power feeding it. Our supply chain partners extend the InferaStack platform from the rack out to the meter and into the grid.

🔋

Storage smooths the renewable duck curve

AI inference is 24/7. Solar isn't. BESS at the AI site bridges the gap — and CIMC's containerised systems drop in alongside NEXTDC and edge sites without site-specific civil works.

📡

Idle batteries earn revenue in the NEM

When inference load is low, batteries can sell capacity into AEMO's Frequency Control Ancillary Services market. Connect VPP's <100ms orchestration makes Very Fast FCAS participation viable.

🔌

Edge sites need modular power

InferaStack Local Client deploys close to data — sometimes off-grid. Victron's MultiPlus-II + lithium stack is the proven recipe for resilient edge-AI power, with Venus OS giving us the same telemetry surface as the central VRM.
