Tech partnership set to power AI growth

A North East technology partnership is set to boost artificial intelligence adoption by strengthening digital infrastructure and managed services across the region.

IT and digital transformation specialist Forfusion has partnered with Stellium Data Centres to support the ambitions of the North East AI Growth Zone. 

Bosses say the collaboration brings together Forfusion’s expertise in IT architecture, cloud and managed services with Stellium’s high-density, carrier-neutral data centre platforms, with an aim to support digital transformation and drive long-term economic growth across the North East.

They add that the joint offering will provide organisations with AI-ready infrastructure and end-to-end managed services, designed to support demanding AI, machine learning and high-performance computing workloads. 

Businesses will benefit from a single point of contact, scalable platforms and enterprise-grade security and resilience.

Ian Musgrave, chief technology officer at Forfusion, said: “Our focus is on helping organisations turn technology ambition into operational reality. 

“AI places unique demands on infrastructure, from performance and latency through to resilience and governance. 

“Our partnership with Stellium Data Centres gives our customers access to robust, AI-ready platforms, underpinned by managed services that remove complexity and enable them to innovate with confidence.”

James Cooper, sales manager at Stellium Data Centres, added: “Our partnership with Forfusion is a strong example of how the AI Growth Zone at Cobalt Park is enabling genuine collaboration between infrastructure providers and AI-led businesses. 

“By working closely with fellow Cobalt Park residents, Stellium Data Centres is helping to create an ecosystem where scalable power, advanced connectivity and applied AI innovation can develop side by side. 

“This partnership reflects our shared ambition to support high-growth AI workloads and reinforces Cobalt Park’s position as a key hub for the UK’s AI and digital infrastructure strategy.”
