PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Smartbird, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIRD), the enterprise AI infrastructure company, today announced a collaboration with Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) (Supermicro) to deliver dedicated, fully managed AI infrastructure tailored to enterprise workloads. Combining Supermicro’s broad portfolio of computing platforms and rack-scale solutions with Smartbird’s infrastructure capabilities, the collaboration aims to support customers with varying processor, capacity, performance, and deployment requirements, from targeted AI applications to large-scale computing environments.
The collaboration advances Smartbird’s strategy to build a network of leading technology partners, working to integrate proven technologies into purpose-built AI infrastructure solutions. Smartbird will draw on Supermicro’s expertise in high-performance computing and integrated infrastructure to design, deploy, and operate dedicated AI clusters optimized for each customer’s requirements. For Supermicro, the collaboration creates additional opportunities to bring its advanced computing technologies to enterprise customers through fully integrated, managed AI infrastructure solutions.
Bringing Enterprise AI to Production Scale
As enterprises move from AI experimentation to production, infrastructure requirements are becoming increasingly complex. Large-scale inference, model training, and agentic AI applications demand more than GPUs. They require integrated compute, storage, networking, power, cooling, and specialized operational expertise.
These requirements vary significantly across organizations and workloads. Different applications demand different processor architectures, computing capacities, and infrastructure configurations. For organizations in regulated industries, these demands are compounded by requirements for data security, infrastructure control, and sovereignty.
Smartbird addresses these challenges by delivering dedicated, sovereign-by-design AI infrastructure as a fully managed service. Through its collaboration with Supermicro, Smartbird can incorporate a broad range of computing technologies and rack-scale infrastructure solutions, enabling customers to select architectures suited to their workloads without building and operating the underlying infrastructure themselves.
The collaboration brings together complementary capabilities:
- Flexible, AI-optimized computing: Supermicro’s portfolio of GPU-accelerated and other processor platforms supports diverse AI workloads, including training, fine-tuning, and inference, with configurations matched to customer requirements.
- Scalable, integrated infrastructure: Supermicro’s rack-scale expertise enables coordinated compute, storage, networking, power, and cooling designs, supporting deployments of varying sizes and complexity.
- Fully managed, end-to-end delivery: Smartbird oversees infrastructure design, procurement, integration, deployment, and ongoing operations, providing customers with a single accountable partner.
- Sovereign-by-design infrastructure: Dedicated, single-tenant clusters deployed on-premises or in colocation environments support customer requirements for data isolation, security, and operational control.
Infrastructure Designed Around Customer Requirements
The collaboration is intended to support a broad range of enterprise AI infrastructure needs, from dedicated systems optimized for specific applications to large-scale, high-density computing environments.
“The challenge for enterprises isn’t simply acquiring compute. It’s bringing together the right technologies and operating them reliably at scale,” said Dr. Nadia Carlsten, president and CEO of Smartbird. “Our collaboration with Supermicro strengthens our ability to deliver complete AI infrastructure tailored to each customer’s workloads, regardless of the scale or computing architecture required. This is central to Smartbird’s strategy: combining the best technologies in the market with the expertise to deploy and operate them as a fully managed service.”
“Enterprises need secure, compliant AI infrastructure that delivers performance, flexibility, and scalability,” said Ray Pang, senior vice president, Technology Enablement, Supermicro. “Our collaboration with Smartbird combines Supermicro’s Data Center Building Block Solutions® (DCBBS), application-optimized platforms, and rack-scale expertise with Smartbird’s managed infrastructure model, enabling enterprises to rapidly deploy and scale AI environments tailored to their specific needs.”
Launched in June 2026, Smartbird designs, builds, and operates dedicated AI infrastructure tailored to enterprise workloads. The collaboration with Supermicro expands Smartbird’s partner network and reinforces its commitment to delivering production-ready AI infrastructure through proven technologies and end-to-end managed operations.
