Sharon AI Announces Five-Year Cloud Computing Infrastructure Agreement

Key Terms

cloud computing infrastructure technical

Cloud computing infrastructure is the network of remote servers, storage, and basic software that companies rent over the internet instead of owning physical data centers. Think of it like leasing electricity and office space on demand: it lets businesses scale capacity up or down, cut upfront costs, and run services from anywhere. Investors watch it because it affects a company’s expenses, growth speed, reliability, and exposure to outages or security problems.

data centers technical

Large facilities that house rows of computer servers, storage devices, and networking equipment that store, process and move digital information for websites, cloud services and companies. Like a warehouse filled with powerful computers instead of boxes, they keep online services running around the clock. Investors care because demand, location, energy use and reliability drive revenue, costs, growth prospects and regulatory or operational risks for businesses that own or lease them.

real-time processing technical

Real-time processing is the immediate handling and analysis of data as it arrives, producing outputs, alerts or automated actions without noticeable delay. For investors it matters because companies that operate in real time can execute trades faster, spot risks and customer issues sooner, and respond to market changes like a live control room rather than a delayed report—improving efficiency, revenue opportunities and risk management.

regulation fd regulatory

Regulation FD is a rule that prevents company insiders, like executives, from sharing important information with some people before others get it. It matters because it helps ensure all investors have equal access to key news, making the stock market fairer and reducing chances of insider trading.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Today, SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:SHAZ) and its subsidiaries (“Sharon AI” or “the Company”), a leading Australian Neocloud, announced the signing of a cloud computing infrastructure agreement with a global technology company with major Asia-pacific presence, valued at approximately US$950 million over five years.

Under the terms of the contract, Sharon AI expects to deploy cloud computing solutions across multiple NEXTDC data centers in Australia, with revenue expected to commence by the end of each of the third quarter and fourth quarter of 2026.

These solutions are expected to utilize the Vast Data AI Operating System, unifying storage, database, compute and real-time processing into a single system. The Vast Data architecture collapses traditionally separate layers of the stack, which should enable Sharon AI’s customers to perform workloads more efficiently.

James Manning, Co-Founder and CEO, Sharon AI said, “We are thrilled to continue to expand our AI Cloud business, building and deploying the latest cloud computing infrastructure in Australia with NEXTDC and Vast Data. This contract follows on from our previously announced agreements in the region, and our customer pipeline continues to grow. We continue to see strong demand across enterprise, hyperscale, research and AI native sectors throughout Australia and Asia-Pacific.”

David Dzienciol, Chief Customer Officer & Chief Commercial Officer, NEXTDC said, “We are pleased to strengthen our partnership with Sharon AI, and to see compute infrastructure deployed across our facilities in Australia.”

Sunil Chavan, Vice-President Asia-Pac & Japan, Vast Data said, “These deployments require more than accelerated compute; they demand a reliable data foundation that can support their workloads. That is the role the VAST AI Operating System was designed to play, and we look forward to continuing to support Sharon AI as it expands across the region.”
