A new AI data center will be developed in Toronto following an acquisition by BUZZ High Performance Computing. BUZZ HPC, a subsidiary of AI cloud provider HIVE Digital Technologies, purchased a 7.2-megawatt data center site in the Greater Toronto Area.
The company plans to establish a Tier III+ data center specifically designed for handling AI workloads. Alongside providing colocation services for enterprise and government customers, the center will deploy BUZZ HPC’s accelerated compute clusters. Ontatrio’s clean electricity grid will power the facility, and the center will implement liquid-cooling systems capable of supporting GPU racks of 150 kilowatts and higher.
The new center will be optimized for high-density AI training, fine-tuning and inference. Once complete, it will supply the power and infrastructure to support Canadian research, business innovation and secure, high-performance deployments, according to Craig Tavares, BUZZ HPC’s president and COO.
