American Marconi Wireless News - Vertical Data Secures $192 Million AI Infrastructure Commitment for Global AI Developer

LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / September 15, 2026 / Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB:VDTA) ("Vertical Data" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated AI infrastructure company providing GPU financing, AI hardware, sovereign cloud and edge data center solutions, today announced it has signed a Letter of Intent ("LOI") with a global AI developer (the "Customer") for the deployment of a dedicated, single-tenant NVIDIA B300 Blackwell Ultra GPU cluster to be deployed at an AI ready data center in Western Europe. The LOI contemplates an aggregate contract value of approximately $192.1 million over a five-year initial term on a take-or-pay basis, with initial service commencement targeted for the first quarter of 2027.

"Foundation model developers require infrastructure partners who can deliver purpose-built, high density compute on their exact timelines," said Deven Soni, Chief Executive Officer of Vertical Data. "This $192 million commitment proves that our strategy of delivering turnkey capacity is exactly what the market needs. Securing a binding take-or-pay structure for a Blackwell Ultra cluster, backed by a contractual deposit, validates our corporate growth strategy and allows us to turn our maximum attention to a rapid Q1 2027 delivery."

Under the terms of the LOI, Vertical Data will leverage its priority hardware pipeline to deploy and operate 128 of the latest generation NVIDIA HGX B300 servers. This dedicated, single tenant cluster of 1,024 NVIDIA B300 Blackwell Ultra GPUs is targeted for service commencement in Q1 2027. The enterprise grade deployment is engineered specifically for sovereign AI workloads within the European Economic Area, featuring complete physical and network isolation, multi petabyte storage, and 24/7 managed engineering support. By aligning with strict data residency requirements and SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance standards, the turnkey infrastructure provides the absolute security and governance controls required by top tier foundation model developers.

The LOI includes binding take-or-pay and deposit obligations covering the full contracted compute and storage capacity for the five-year initial term, at a fixed rate. The remaining commercial, operational and delivery terms of the transaction are non-binding and remain subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive Master Services Agreement, which the Company expects to finalize in the near term.
