ECOBLOX and Aethir Partner for Distributed Cloud Access to GPU Compute Power

March 17, 2025 | Theo Valich, CEO

Creating and deploying AI-native applications is transforming the way business is conducted worldwide. In order to deploy these native applications, today’s businesses need access to reliable, secure, and cost-effective GPU computing services that scale easily with their applications and workloads

AI-native applications are processing enormous amounts of data. Many businesses require the data to be processed close to the customer for real-time response, high-speed transfer, or regulatory compliance. With high-end computing capabilities coming at a premium, having access to compute power via a distributed cloud infrastructure is a necessity even if you operate your own data center infrastructure.

Aethir, the world’s first enterprise-grade decentralized GPU cloud for AI and gaming and ECOBLOX have established a partnership to meet customer’s needs for enterprise class GPUs that can be distributed anywhere in the world. For ECOBLOX customers, this means we can design and deploy a data center solution that can take advantage of GPU compute power in any location, processing data locally for fast access, security, and privacy while utilizing other locations when those factors are not at play.

Those who have invested in Aethir’s technology now have access to one of the most disruptive solutions for data center operation. Aethir delivers a wide range of GPU solutions for different workloads, including bare-metal GPU cloud computing powered by NVIDIA H100s and H200s, ideal for compute-intensive tasks like AI model training, fine-tuning, and inference. By utilizing a decentralized network, Aethir Earth ensures high performance without the overhead of virtualization. These data centers deliver unmatched efficiency, balancing total cost of ownership (TCO) with the fastest return on investment (ROI). They provide businesses with transformative services while maintaining the highest level of data privacy, thanks to advanced encryption technologies enabled by the blockchain protocol.

With data center demand continuing to grow, businesses must employ data center solutions that are flexible, scalable, and cost-effective. With ECOBLOX’s expertise in data center design and Aethir’s distributed cloud infrastructure, businesses have near-unlimited potential to scale their data center processing needs in a flexible and cost-effective way.

ECOBLOX offers a full turnkey AI/HPC solution including data center location assistance, efficient data center design, hardware procurement, installation and optimization, and full DCIM and GPUaaS software stacks – partnerships with leading edge infrastructure providers such as Aethir enable ECOBLOX to offer a wide range of solutions.

Additionally, the partnership ensures customers that both Aethir and ECOBLOX work seamlessly together throughout the optimized design and implementation of a data center build.

“Our partnership with ECOBLOX merges their data center design expertise, and modular data center build know-how with our scalable, distributed GPU cloud computing infrastructure to provide premium enterprise-grade GPU resources for the most demanding AI workloads,” said Arpit Sharma, Head of Ecosystem at Aethir.

Additionally, the two companies will collaborate with financial firms looking to invest in data center development, and to identify ideal data center locations and co-locations.

“GPU computer power on demand is a powerful advantage. With over three thousand NVIDIA H100 GPU chips deployed in more than 15 countries, we are designing and deploying modular data centers that can process AI and data locally and through Aethir’s distributed cloud node network,” said Theo Valich, ECOBLOX CEO and Co-Founder. “Based on the current deployment roadmap with exciting NVIDIA H200, B200 and GB200, as well as AMD and Tenstorrent designs, AI infrastructure is becoming accessible to all. We are starting to see a number of exciting LLM and LMM engines coming to the market, and our partnership with Aethir enables mutual customers and investors to deploy those engines to the worldwide market.”
