    hosted·ai and Maerifa form strategic partnership to provide a one-stop shop for Neocloud creation at scale

    Santa Clara, CA – 30th September 2025 hosted·ai has signed a strategic partnership with Maerifa Solutions, a leading digital infrastructure company focused on the provision of technology design, deployment and supply chain management services. The partnership aims to facilitate the rapid creation and scaling of Neoclouds – cloud services built around GPU infrastructure for AI – by providing a one-stop shop for infrastructure advice, hardware, procurement and finance, and efficient, profitable GPU orchestration using hosted·ai software.

    Maerifa simplifies Neocloud creation through its relationships with AI cloud infrastructure OEMs such as NVIDIA, Supermicro and Lenovo, and supply chain and finance partners who can support hardware procurement and purchasing. With hosted·ai, Maerifa can now also provide turnkey software for Neocloud orchestration and monetization, with easy-to-use tools for GPU cloud service design, pricing, metering, billing and self-service.

    “The demand for GPU infrastructure is growing by leaps and bounds, however, there remains little focus developing multi-faceted Neoclouds with the ability to deliver the full catalogue of this infrastructure to end customers in a way that is economically viable long-term. Together with hosted.ai we have a solution that enables rapid scalability and will provide these companies with a way of focusing on what they are best at, attracting customers and providing innovative software solutions. We are already working on a number of projects together and invite others looking to grow their platforms to see how we can help,” said Rahul Kumar, Senior Executive Officer, Maerifa Solutions.

    “There is huge demand for AI training and inference infrastructure, but Neoclouds face quite a few challenges to deliver the scale that the market needs,” said Narendar Shankar, Chief Commercial Officer at hosted·ai. “Our partnership with Maerifa is exciting news for companies in this space, because they now have one expert partner for sourcing and delivering GPU infrastructure, and getting help with financing; and combined with hosted·ai, the software to manage, provision and bill for AI cloud services while making those services efficient and profitable.”

    hosted.ai was founded to make GPU cloud efficient, easy and profitable for service providers, by creating a turnkey GPUaaS platform designed specifically for companies in this market. hosted.ai was launched in 2024 by a team with deep experience of owning, running, and building solutions for AI and for service providers, at businesses including VMware, Nvidia, Expedia, XenSource, OnApp, Sunlight and UK2.

    Maerifa Solutions was conceived, incubated and launched by Aethlius Holdings to create an ecosystem of Tier-1 partners across Digital Infrastructure and related financing solutions delivered by its partners to address the funding gap of acquiring hard-to-access GPU server technology. Since its launch in Q3 2024 it has already partnered with leading players in the industry and is in discussions to deliver multi-million dollars’ worth of hardware and associated solutions to projects in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Southeast Asia.

  • FuriosaAI and hosted·ai Form Strategic Partnership to Deliver Industry-Leading AI Infrastructure Powered by Tensor Contraction Processors

    FuriosaAI and hosted·ai Form Strategic Partnership to Deliver Industry-Leading AI Infrastructure Powered by Tensor Contraction Processors

    Redefining price/performance/power for AI cloud deployments with next-generation inference hardware

    Santa Clara, CA – 8th July 2025 – FuriosaAI, a pioneering leader in next-gen AI semiconductor, today announced a strategic partnership with hosted·ai to deliver ultra-efficient, high-performance AI infrastructure built on Furiosa’s Tensor Contraction Processor (TCP) architecture. The hosted·ai cloud platform will fully support Furiosa’s flagship RNGD (pronounced “Renegade”) processors, enabling service providers to leverage TCP-powered infrastructure for hosting AI workloads. 

    hosted·ai is a turnkey AI cloud platform for service providers. It delivers multi-tenant virtualization of infrastructure for AI inference and training, with full software-defined control and oversubscription of hardware accelerators such as RNGD and GPUs. This enables service providers to pool the resources of multiple accelerators, provision those resources on demand to multiple clients, and sell 4x-10x the physical capacity available. As a result they can price their offerings competitively and improve unit economics, achieving higher revenue with an increasing average margin.

    The new partnership will add support for Furiosa’s flagship RNGD Processor for LLM and agentic AI inference to the hosted·ai platform. RNGD leverages Furiosa’s Tensor Contraction Processor (TCP) chip architecture, which solves the fundamental hardware challenge of running AI algorithms: providing not just raw compute power, but also using that compute effectively and efficiently to deliver excellent real-world performance. 

    “We’re excited by this partnership and its potential to transform the cost and impact of AI infrastructure,” said Furiosa’s SVP of Product and Business, Alex Liu. “Furiosa’s processors are purpose-built for AI and represent a huge leap forward in performance per watt compared to GPUs thanks to our Tensor Contraction Processor (TCP) architecture. hosted·ai has the same devotion to efficiency and performance in its AI cloud software stack, enabling service providers to properly virtualize the accelerator and maximize utilization. This unique combination delivers the best solution for sovereign service provider AI clouds.” 

    “This partnership is an important step in our mission to make AI infrastructure accessible and affordable for service providers and their customers,” said Ditlev Bredahl, CEO of hosted·ai. “Together we’ll bring new ways for service providers to accelerate AI workloads with reduced hardware CAPEX and OPEX, optimal utilization, sustainable profitability for their business, and the best price/performance for their customers.”

    Availability of Furiosa RNGD support in the hosted·ai platform is expected by the end of 2025. Looking ahead, the two companies plan to develop an off-the-shelf appliance for service provider AI cloud, combining hosted·ai software, Furiosa accelerators, and rack server modules for easy turnkey adoption by service providers.
