SmartTec runs NVIDIA and Cerebras compute behind battery storage we engineer on z1power LFP. When the grid faults, AURA islands your cluster in under 10 milliseconds and rides through on batteries. Up to 73% modeled grid reduction. Built in the USA.

[ WHY SMARTTEC ]

Powered. Performant. Provable.

01[ RESILIENT ]

z1power LFP batteries, engineered by SmartTec into behind-the-meter storage. When the grid faults, AURA islands your cluster in under 10 milliseconds — no interruption, no diesel.

02[ PERFORMANT ]

NVIDIA for training and dense inference. Cerebras for the fastest tokens on earth. AURA tunes every rack for tokens-per-watt — the new efficiency metric.

03[ PROVABLE ]

Real-time telemetry, design-basis SLA targets, US-built hardware, and compliance built in from day one.

[ WHAT YOU CAN RESERVE ]

Compute that's already powered.

[ ON-DEMAND GPU ]

NVIDIA instances by the hour.

Spin up, train, tear down. Bare-metal or orchestrated.

Best for · Bursty training, experimentation.
Reserve
[ RESERVED GPU CLUSTERS ]

Dedicated nodes, monthly or annual.

Yours alone, on independent power.

Best for · Sustained training, production inference at scale.
Reserve
[ CEREBRAS INFERENCE ]

Wafer-scale endpoints for the lowest-latency tokens available.

Ideal for real-time and agentic workloads.

Best for · Real-time and agentic inference.

[ COLOCATION & BUILD-TO-SUIT ]

Bring your hardware onto our battery-backed power.

Or we build dedicated MW behind the meter for you.

Best for · Operators who have silicon but can't get power.

Scale

AURA optimizes tokens-per-watt automatically. Grow from one node to multiple megawatts with no re-architecture.

[ THE MOAT ]

We don't buy power off a strained grid. We build it.

z1power LFP battery systems, engineered by SmartTec into triple-redundant behind-the-meter storage with sub-10ms failover. Behind the meter means you're never in the queue and never at the mercy of a grid event.

  • No air permits, no fuel logistics — silent and modular.
  • Instant load-following for spiky AI workloads.
  • Clean: fed by on-site solar where available.
Inside the power stack
[ AURA ENGINE ]

Operations that think ahead.

Predictive load positioning

Reserves pre-charged capacity 72 hours before demand peaks.

Tokens-per-watt tuning

AURA balances compute and cooling for the best performance per megawatt.

Sub-10ms failover

Automatic routing across redundant battery banks.

Anomaly detection

Flags cell- and node-level issues before they become incidents.

[ RELIABILITY ]

Engineered to stay up.

01[ REDUNDANCY ]

Triple-redundant battery banks. If one fails, two take over in under 10ms. No single point of failure.

02[ COMPLIANCE ]

SOC 2 Type II [in progress]. Encryption at rest and in transit. Full audit logging from day one.

03[ SLA ]

A financially-backed 99.9_% uptime SLA on every reserved deployment. Targets we'll put in the contract.

[ DESIGN PARTNERS WANTED ]

Become one of our first three.

We're reserving discounted launch capacity for our first three design partners — teams with a serious training or inference workload who want to lock in early pricing and shape the platform. (Design partners get launch pricing + a co-published case study; standard reservations are also open — same hardware, list pricing, no case-study commitment.)

  • Launch pricing locked for the first 12 months.
  • Named case study + benchmark co-published at power-on.
  • Direct line to the engineering team — no support tiers in between.
