California-based GMI Cloud, a trailblazer in AI-native GPU cloud services, has entered into a strategic partnership with OPTAGE Inc., a leading information and communications provider under the Kansai Electric Power Group, to establish its Japan region.
This collaboration marks a significant step toward accelerating AI adoption in Japan. Leveraging GMI Cloud’s proprietary virtualization technology, the “GMI Cluster Engine,” the partnership will focus on infrastructure deployment and operational validation within Japan. The initiative will utilize GPU servers powered by NVIDIA’s cutting-edge B200 chips.
The GMI Cluster Engine is designed to enable high-efficiency multi-tenancy within GPU clusters, operating on an InfiniBand environment that ensures high bandwidth and low latency. This technology helps quickly acquire GPU resources. It also improves how GPU servers are managed.
As demand for generative AI continues to surge across sectors such as image generation, natural language processing, and data analytics, the need for robust and scalable GPU cloud solutions is growing rapidly. GMI Cloud’s services address this need by offering flexible access to GPU resources — from multiple physical servers to single GPUs billed hourly. Users can reserve resources instantly or schedule them for future use through a streamlined management interface.
