Duos Edge AI is providing 2MW of AI data center capacity for aspiring neocloud Nistar.The modular data center provider will deploy the compute at its Columbus, Georgia, campus, taking the total billed capacity at the campus to 12MW as of the end of August.Nistar, which describes itself as an energy and digital infrastructure firm, will then rent the servers to its clients in the AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC) space. It intends to install up to 1,024 Nvidia B200 GPUs at the data center.The deal will see Duos provide a fully “ready for service” deployment designed to support high-density AI and HPC workloads, the company said. The exact leased footprint, deployment areas, and technical specifications have yet to be confirmed.“This important step with Nistar establishes a framework for material expansion of our existing compute footprint, and we look forward to advancing toward full deployment in the coming months," said Duos CEO Doug Recker. “The growing demand for AI infrastructure continues to create significant opportunities for scalable, Edge-focused data center deployments, and we believe our platform is well positioned to support these emerging requirements.”Duos Edge is a subsidiary of rail technology firm Duos Technologies. The company launched in 2024, with Recker at the helm, and raised $2.2 million in funding for the initial roll-out.It has since installed several Edge pods in rural locations across Texas, as well as sites in Westchester, Illinois, and Jacksonville, Florida. Its pods total 15 racks and 300kW per container, and can be deployed in as little as 90 days. The firm is also targeting a higher-density container offering 1-2.5MW.The most recent presentation from the company said it aimed to have some 65 pods and 20MW of capacity deployed by the end of 2026, and 250 pods totaling 60MW of capacity by 2028.It said it plans to install a further 10MW of capacity at the Georgia campus between October and November 2026.Founded in 2020, Nistar describes itself as an advisory and development platform focused on data center and energy projects. As well as AI and HPC, it targets cryptocurrency miners as potential data center customers. Its website lists power projects, served by grid and behind-the-meter natural gas energy, in planning across four US states, as well as a 500MW scheme in development in the Philippines.Jay Sivam, Nistar CEO, said: “This agreement represents an important step in Nistar’s broader strategy of delivering scalable, financeable AI and high-performance-computing infrastructure where speed to deployment, power availability, and high-density design are critical. We view this as the first of what we expect will be multiple deployments with Duos and plan to replicate this model at additional locations.”
