AI Data Centers

Deft/Summit sells dedicated, single-tenant GPU infrastructure rather than shared cloud AI capacity, offering direct access to NVIDIA H200, H100, and L40S GPUs with cabinets rated up to 30kW of power density for training and inference workloads. For customers with European data-residency or EU AI Act obligations, the company specifically points to its Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Bucharest data centers as EU-resident locations for running AI workloads under data processing agreements that keep data inside the EU. The AI push is layered onto Deft's existing colocation and dedicated-server facilities rather than being delivered from purpose-built AI-only sites.
