Hyperscale Data Executes First Master Services Agreement with California-Based Neocloud Provider for 20 Megawatts of Critical AI Compute Capacity at Michigan Data Center Campus Expected to be Worth Approximately $1.2 Billion

Published

on

Expansion to 52 Megawatts Could Result in an Increase of the Total Value to over $3.0 Billion Utilizing Approximately 17% of the Potential 300 Megawatts of the Total Eventual Power Capacity at the Michigan Campus

LAS VEGAS, June 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), an artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company anchored by Bitcoin (“Hyperscale Data” or the “Company”), today announced the signing of a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) to provide colocation and related data center services (the “Services”) between Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and a California-based neocloud provider (the “Customer”) at its Michigan data center campus (the “Michigan Campus”). The Customer’s offerings include cloud and managed services dedicated to providing tailored, state-of-the-art compute resources and high-speed storage solutions at scale with industry leading partners.

The MSA provides for the deployment of 20 megawatts (“MW”) of critical AI compute capacity that is expected to be operational during the fourth quarter of 2026. Further, the MSA provides for ACS’ grant of an option to the Customer to expand up to a total of 52 MW of critical AI compute capacity. The MSA has an initial term of 10 years with two five-year extension options that may be exercised by the Customer (collectively, the “Maximum Term”). If exercised for the Maximum Term, the MSA is expected to generate in excess of $1.2 billion in revenue. The MSA also provides the Customer with a right to an additional 32 MW of critical AI compute capacity which, if exercised within the first two years of the initial term and continues through the two five-year extension options, would be expected to result in total contract revenue in excess of $3.0 billion.  

ACS is actively working on the procurement of key electrical and infrastructure equipment to support the rapid deployment and has begun the process of retrofitting approximately 60,000 square feet of its Michigan Campus to support the Customer’s operations at an estimated cost of between $100 million and $120 million for the initial 20 MW deployment.

As AI compute capacity is commissioned and the Customer’s workloads are deployed, the Company expects to progressively reallocate portions of the power at the Michigan Campus currently utilized for Bitcoin mining. The Company currently anticipates continuing to operate Bitcoin mining capacity at its Montana facility and may maintain certain mining operations at the Michigan Campus during the transition period.

“I am pleased by the progress that we have made as we continue the evolution of our Michigan Campus from a Bitcoin mining-focused facility into a next-generation AI and high-performance computing campus,” said William B. Horne, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. “We believe our Michigan Campus is positioned to offer a top-tier AI compute environment, and these Services are expected to begin generating material, high-margin revenue upon deployment, which may begin as soon as late September 2026.”

“The signing of an MSA represents a significant milestone for the Company,” said Milton “Todd” Ault III, Executive Chairman of Hyperscale Data. “We currently operate approximately 28 MW of Bitcoin mining capacity at the Michigan Campus. As the Customer’s deployments are brought online, we expect to allocate an increasing portion of the Michigan Campus to AI and high-performance computing workloads. We believe this strategy positions us to maximize the long-term value of the Michigan Campus as we work toward developing more than 300 MW of total power capacity.”

Hyperscale Data believes that the Michigan Campus may support phased long-term expansion opportunities, subject to regulatory approvals, financing, infrastructure availability, engineering studies, utility agreements and other factors. The Company believes the Michigan Campus may ultimately have the potential to support over 300 MW of total power capacity.

The Company cautions you that these expansion concepts remain preliminary and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that such expansion capacity will ultimately be available, developed, financed, approved, economically viable or otherwise initiated or continued.

VITG Unveils Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response as Part of a Broader AI and Cybersecurity Transformation across ANZ

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As organisations across Australia and New Zealand navigate the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence, increasingly sophisticated cyber threats, and growing governance requirements, Virtual IT Group   (VITG) has announced the launch of Modern Managed Services  (MMS)  and Managed Detection & Response  (MDR) , that are next-generation managed services and managed security offerings designed to help organisations remain secure, resilient and ready for what’s next.

Modern Managed Services delivers a Modern Defensible Architecture framework for managed IT operations, ensuring security controls, governance frameworks and operational best practices are embedded and continuously maintained. Complementing this, Managed Detection & Response provides organisations with 24×7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) capability, actively monitoring, investigating and responding to threats using advanced security analytics and response technologies.

Jeremy Nees , Chief Product Officer, VITG , said:

“Too often, organisations purchase managed services only to discover they do not have the standard level of security they need. As businesses adopt AI, the old-world IT solutions that Managed Service Providers (MSP) are selling are simply not going to cut it. We’ve baked common security requirements into the MMS service from day one, applying the key principles of Modern Defensible Architecture: Secure-by-Design, Defense in Depth, and Zero Trust.

MDR and ZDR   can be layered on top or are available independently if you have your own IT service or team. The push to adopt AI is leaving security gaps across the ANZ mid-market. Our goal is to provide customers with technology that is secure, resilient, and ready for what’s next.”

The launch marks VITG’s second major solution release of the year, following the introduction of its Zero Trust Consulting Practice  and Zero Trust Detection & Response  (ZDR)  offering earlier in 2026. It is also the Group’s first launch since acquiring cybersecurity outfit Security Centric , building on the addition of Auckland based The Instillery  in 2025 and further strengthening VITG’s capabilities across managed services, cloud, cybersecurity, data and AI. VITG is also advancing a dedicated Data & AI Practice and Momentum, a continuous improvement framework currently being piloted with customers ahead of a market launch later this year.

Since joining VITG  at the start of the year, Maurice McCarthy , Chief Executive Officer , is committed to moving at pace to meet the demand that has been created off the back of the market’s rapid adoption of AI.   

McCarthy said, “The traditional managed services model was built for a different era. Today’s organisations need partners that can help them unlock the value of data and AI while strengthening cybersecurity, managing risk, and continuously evolving their technology environment.

Through the acquisition of Security Centric and The Instillery we have brought together market-leading expertise across managed services, data and AI, and cybersecurity. This launch is the first of several innovations we will introduce as we help organisations accelerate transformation and realise greater value from AI.”

Sash Vasilevski , Chief Security Officer, VITG , said:

“The technology businesses are using to unlock the value of AI, integrate systems, and build strong data foundations, is rapidly introducing new risks and attack surfaces.

As business leaders accelerate their adoption of AI, the gap between the threats they face and the security capabilities they have in place is growing faster than many businesses realise.”

Modern Managed Services and Managed Detection & Response are available immediately.
