SambaNova’s 90 Day Deployment Solution for AI Data Centres
The next-generation AI infrastructure company SambaNova has announced the industry’s first inference-optimised data centre product offering.
Deployable in just 90 days – which is much faster than the typical 18 to 24 months – the modular product is designed for rapid deployment and hopes to enable existing data centres to immediately stand up AI inference services with minimal infrastructure modification.
This comes during a time where, as global AI inference demands soar, traditional data centres are struggling with lengthy deployment timetables, excessive power requirements and costly facility upgrades.
SambaManaged aims to address these mission-critical barriers and instead enable organisations to quickly launch profitable AI inference services leveraging existing power and network infrastructure.
“Data centres are struggling with power, cooling and expertise challenges as AI demand grows,” explains Abhi Ingle, Chief Product and Strategy Officer at SambaNova.
“SambaManaged delivers high-performance AI with just 10kW of air-cooled power and minimal infrastructure changes – making rapid deployment simple for any data centre.”
Maximising inference revenue
Demand for AI inference is surging worldwide, which inevitably requires greater capacity and more efficiency. With this in mind, SambaNova is eager to use SambaManaged to power ahead with digital transformation efforts.
Having already been adopted by a major US public company with a large power footprint, SambaManaged expects to deliver the highest throughput on DeepSeek and similar models, empowering them to maximise inference revenue while optimising Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE).

The key advantages for data centres and cloud providers include:
Unmatched Efficiency
It sets a new industry benchmark for performance per watt, maximising return on investment (ROI) and reducing total cost of ownership.
Rapid Deployment
Launching a fully managed AI inference service in as little as 90 days, minimising integration challenges and accelerating time to value.
Open Model Flexibility
Achieving lightning-fast inference with leading open-source models, ensuring no vendor lock-in and future-proof operations.
Modular, Scalable Design
Scale from small to large deployments with ease, including the capability to build a 1 MW “Token Factory” (100 racks or 1,600 chips) or larger that scales with evolving business needs.
Managed or Self-Service Options
Choose a fully managed service or take over operations as internal expertise grows, supported by a customisable developer/enterprise UI and flexible pricing models.
“While others talk about the future of AI, we’re delivering it – today,” says Rodrigo Liang, CEO and co-founder of SambaNova.
“SambaManaged is a game-changer for organisations that want to accelerate their AI initiatives without compromising on speed, scale, or efficiency. Anywhere you have power and networking, we can bring your AI infrastructure online in record time.”
Rapidly scaling data centre operations
As a platform, SambaNova seeks to enable enterprises to rapidly deploy state-of-the-art generative AI (Gen AI) capabilities.
Headquartered in Palo Alto, California, SambaNova was founded in 2017 by industry veterans from Sun/Oracle and Stanford University. It is backed by top-tier investors including SoftBank Vision Fund 2, BlackRock, Intel Capital, GV, Walden International, Temasek, GIC, Redline Capital, Atlantic Bridge Ventures and Celesta.
In May 2025, the company launched its AI platform in AWS Marketplace to allow organisations more availability to seamlessly purchase and deploy SambaNova’s fast inference services alongside their existing infrastructure in AWS.
