The MDC is adaptable, deployable in weeks, and can operate in remote areas using alternative energy sources like stranded natural gas, solar, or nuclear.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leviathan aims to advance U.S. leadership in energy and AI by enabling distributed AI training and inference in contested and communication-challenged areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerican energy and AI dominance hinges on one thing: moving massive compute to the edge fast where data and low-cost power live,\u201d says Dan Wright, co-founder and CEO of Armada. \u201cLeviathan, the newest member of our Galleon product line, does exactly that. Each unit delivers megawatt-scale performance in a fraction of the time and much more flexibly than traditional data centers, due to their ability to rapidly adapt to changes in AI chips and cooling, and co-locate with all available land and energy, regardless of its form or location. This latest product launch and funding further accelerate our mission to bridge the digital divide and ensure that the world runs on the American AI stack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The product is part of Armada\u2019s Galleon product line and is powered by the Armada Edge Platform (AEP), delivering scalable, autonomous compute capabilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Armada emphasizes the importance of coupling energy and compute to maintain U.S. dominance in the global AI race, countering China\u2019s efforts in AI and energy supply chains.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Strategic partnerships with organizations such as Fidelis New Energy and Bakken Energy will help deploy Leviathans in key U.S. locations with surplus power.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Armada\u2019s vision is to provide sovereign, distributed AI infrastructure, enabling rapid deployment and bridging the digital divide in industrial and remote environments.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tArticle Topics<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/ai-infrastructure\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI infrastructure<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/ai-ml\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AI\/ML<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/armada\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Armada<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/edge-ai\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">edge AI<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/edge-data-center\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">edge data center<\/a> \u00a0|\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edgeir.com\/tag\/modular-data-centers\" rel=\"tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">modular data centers<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Armada, an edge computing infrastructure company, announced a $131M strategic funding round with new and existing investors to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29323,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[18144,4566,13993,4323,4567,18145,18146,86,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-29322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-computing","8":"tag-ai-infrastructure","9":"tag-ai-ml","10":"tag-armada","11":"tag-computing","12":"tag-edge-ai","13":"tag-edge-data-center","14":"tag-modular-data-centers","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
