Five-year strategic agreement establishes a standardized orchestration and operations platform across Sharon AI's expanding AI Factory environments NEW YORK , Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- SharonAI Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: SHAZ ) ("Sharon AI" or the "Company"), a leading Australian Neocloud delivering trusted AI infrastructure, today announced a five-year strategic agreement with Rafay Systems, a leading platform provider for modern infrastructure and AI workloads. Under the agreement, Sharon AI will use the Rafay platform as a centralized orchestration and operations layer across its AI Factory environments. The platform standardizes how Sharon AI's accelerated computing infrastructure is provisioned, governed, monitored and made available to customers across different locations, tenants and workloads. The agreement formalizes Sharon AI's use of Rafay across its expanding AI infrastructure platform, moving from individual cluster deployments to a consistent operating framework designed to support the Company's growth across Asia-Pacific and globally. The Rafay platform provides the automation, observability, governance and secure, multi-tenancy capabilities required to operate advanced AI infrastructure at scale. It is designed to help Sharon AI manage compute capacity efficiently, respond to different customer workload requirements and deliver secure, reliable access to the infrastructure customers need to build, train and run AI.
"Sharon AI is delivering the trusted infrastructure and operational capabilities required to help customers realize measurable value," said James Manning, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Sharon AI. "Our agreement with Rafay gives us a standardized platform for orchestrating and managing AI infrastructure across our expanding footprint. This should enable us to manage our compute capacity more efficiently, accelerate service delivery and provide customers with a consistent and secure experience as we scale."
The Rafay platform acts as a centralized control plane across Sharon AI's AI Factory environments, providing operational guardrails above the underlying physical infrastructure. Its capabilities include infrastructure lifecycle management, workload orchestration, governance, monitoring and support for Kubernetes and virtual machine environments through a unified platform. This operating layer abstracts the complexity of procuring, deploying and managing advanced AI infrastructure. It is intended to enable Sharon AI to provide customers with access to the AI capabilities they require without those customers needing to own or operate the underlying physical infrastructure.
The architecture established through the agreement is designed to support the orchestration of up to 150,000 GPUs over the five-year term, illustrating that Sharon AI intends to build platform components for larger-scale GPU deployments over time.
"Operating AI infrastructure at scale requires more than access to GPU capacity," said Haseeb Budhani, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Rafay Systems. "Providers also need the orchestration, automation and governance capabilities required to transform that infrastructure into secure, reliable and production-ready AI services. Sharon AI is building a highly scalable AI infrastructure platform for customers across Asia-Pacific and beyond, and we are proud to provide an operational foundation that can support its continued growth."
The agreement is also expected to support the development of Sharon AI's internal capabilities and expertise around the Rafay platform, establishing consistent operating practices across its AI infrastructure deployments. The collaboration is expected to strengthen Sharon AI's ability to automate service delivery, improve infrastructure utilization and reliability, maintain consistent governance and accelerate access to advanced AI capabilities for customers.
