Ori deploys first NVIDIA H200 AI cloud at Kao Data in UK

The collaboration enables Ori to deliver secure, scalable, and sustainable AI-optimised cloud infrastructure for AI training and inference workloads. 

Kao Data‘s Harlow campus offers high-density infrastructure, renewable energy, and proximity to London and Cambridge’s AI ecosystems. 

“We are delighted to partner with Kao Data for our UK expansion, and its Harlow campus offers us the perfect mix of high-density data center infrastructure, renewable energy, and close proximity to London and Cambridge’s thriving AI and tech ecosystems,” says Mahdi Yahya, Founder & CEO of Ori. “As demand for AI continues to surge, it was imperative to find a specialist data center operator that understood AI and could support the scalability, performance and sustainability requirements of our GPU-powered cloud.”

Ori’s deployment reinforces Kao Data’s position as a leader in AI and high-performance computing (HPC) colocation solutions in the UK. The infrastructure includes NVIDIA H200 Tensor Core GPUs, ideal for generative AI and large language models (LLMs). 

This initiative aligns with the UK Government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan, promoting AI adoption and investment in the Cambridge-London “UK Innovation Corridor.” 

Kao Data specializes in sustainable, high-capacity data centres for AI and advanced computing, with a portfolio of over 160 MW of IT load across the UK.

Saudi Aramco’s Wa’ed Ventures also recently backed Ori to drive edge AI expansion in Middle East.
