00:00NVIDIA just announced a plan that could more than double Australia's entire computing power load.
00:05The company is partnering with eight Australian data center and cloud companies to expand AI
00:10computing capacity by up to 2 gigawatts by 2027. To put that in perspective, Australia's existing
00:17data center footprint currently sits at roughly 1.6 gigawatts, so this deal would more than double
00:23it. The eight partners include Firmus, Sharon AI, IRON, Megaport, Reset Data, CDC, NextDC, and AirTrunk.
00:31Under the deal, these companies will operate the AI factories, while NVIDIA supplies its DSX platform.
00:38Accelerated computing, networking, and software support, Sharon AI alone plans to deploy up to
00:4368,000 NVIDIA GPUs. While IRON is building an 800-megawatt campus in South Australia,
00:49what's still missing from the announcement is exactly where all that electricity will come from.
00:55A question analysts say looms over the entire build-out.
