Two-year contract supports AI infrastructure demand from two high-growth AI inference platforms, marking a significant commercial milestone in QumulusAI’s hyperdistributed GPU build-out
ATLANTA, GA / ACCESS Newswire / May 28, 2026 / QumulusAI, a provider of GPU-powered cloud infrastructure for artificial intelligence, and Shadeform, a unified GPU platform connecting AI teams with compute resources, today announced a two-year contract for the deployment of two NVIDIA H200 clusters – a 61-node and a 24-node configuration – totaling 85 nodes at QumulusAI’s Kansas City location. The deployment supports compute demand from two high-growth AI inference platforms, including one of the fastest-scaling inference networks currently operating at production scale.
The partnership combines QumulusAI’s Hyperspeed Deployment capabilities and hyperdistributed data center footprint with Shadeform’s ability to connect and match enterprise demand to best-fit GPU infrastructure – delivering scalable, enterprise-grade H200 environments to AI platforms operating at production scale.
“This deployment reflects exactly how we want to grow – through strategic partnerships that tie long-term, high-quality demand to our expanding infrastructure footprint,” said Mike Maniscalco, CEO, QumulusAI. “Shadeform’s ability to bring committed, multi-year clients to the table accelerates our mission to transform how enterprises of any size can rapidly obtain access to the GPU-powered cloud infrastructure they need for production AI.”
“QumulusAI’s ability to deploy at hyperspeed and hold committed capacity is exactly what our customers need, said Ed Goode, CEO, Shadeform. “This deployment gives AI inference platforms on Shadeform access to dedicated, enterprise-grade AI infrastructure as they scale their businesses.”
For QumulusAI, the contract validates its capacity-forward model – purpose-built to match enterprise-grade infrastructure with committed, long-duration demand. The Kansas City deployment is supported by a $45 million convertible note facility from ATW Partners, announced separately, with $15 million funded to date.
For Shadeform, the partnership demonstrates its ability to deliver large-scale, dedicated GPU capacity at competitive economics — directly addressing the reliability and cost challenges AI platforms face when scaling inference workloads.
The Kansas City facility is part of QumulusAI’s hyperdistributed network of GPU clusters spanning U.S. colocation and company-owned data centers, with more than 150 MW of available capacity and sub-90-day deployment cycles for fully operational GPUaaS environments.
