ResetData Partners with Nokia to Build Sovereign AI Data Centers Across Australia

ResetData, a rising Australian cloud service provider, has chosen Nokia to deliver the critical networking infrastructure for its nationwide rollout of AI-focused data centers—branded as “AI Factories.” This strategic collaboration is designed to meet the surging demand for sovereign AI capabilities in Australia while supporting high-performance and environmentally sustainable cloud operations.

As part of the initiative, ResetData will deploy Nokia’s FP5-based 7750 Service Routers across commercial sites, beginning in Melbourne’s central business district. These high-capacity routers will serve as key gateways to ResetData’s GPU clusters, enabling ultra-low latency, lossless connectivity, and data center-to-data center routing at speeds up to 800Gb/s. The routers form the backbone of a scalable, secure IP network tailored to the performance and precision timing demands of AI workloads.

The partnership aligns with the rapid growth of Australia’s cloud services market, which saw a 19% increase in 2024. By establishing a fully sovereign AI infrastructure, ResetData supports national priorities around data sovereignty and digital independence. The company aims to deliver onshore access to advanced AI workloads, including machine learning, large language models (LLMs), and other AI-driven applications.

“Sovereign AI is critical to Australia’s competitiveness,” said Karl Kloppenborg, Chief Technology Officer at ResetData. “This rollout marks the first time Australians will have on-demand, onshore access to core AI, ML, and LLM capabilities via our AI Marketplace. We needed a partner that could deliver on speed, scale, and sustainability—and Nokia has been with us every step of the way.”

Sustainable Infrastructure for AI Demands

A key differentiator in ResetData’s approach is its commitment to environmentally efficient operations. The company’s data centers employ advanced liquid immersion cooling, which offers up to 10 times the energy efficiency of traditional air-cooled systems. This technology enables a 45% reduction in carbon emissions and can lower cloud computing costs by as much as 40% compared to conventional setups.

Nokia’s networking platform further supports these sustainability goals. Its FP5 silicon technology delivers up to 75% energy savings over previous generations, making it an ideal fit for ResetData’s eco-conscious infrastructure strategy. The next-gen silicon is purpose-built to meet the growing bandwidth and performance demands of AI applications while minimizing environmental impact and operational costs.

“ResetData represents a new generation of AI-native cloud providers,” said Vach Kompella, Senior Vice President and General Manager of IP Networks at Nokia. “As they pioneer sovereign AI at scale in Australia, we’re proud to support them with a high-speed, secure, and sustainable IP backbone that’s built for the future.”

Supported by investment from Centuria Capital Group (ASX: CNI), ResetData’s expansion reflects a broader industry shift toward localized, sovereign AI infrastructure. This trend addresses not only the technical and legal requirements of modern digital operations but also the growing emphasis on environmental responsibility in cloud computing.
