Provisioning, billing, fleet monitoring, and lifecycle management. Everything you need to run and optimize your AI factory. Brokkr OS is not a clunky repackage and repurpose of cloud tools; it is a comprehensive platform, custom built from the ground up, optimized for running AI Factory operations. All accessed from a single API. Data centers house hardware. An AI factory makes it a business. Provisioning, tenant management, billing, fleet monitoring, demand routing. Building that in-house means years of development and a full engineering team, with no guaranteed demand on the other side. Brokkr OS is years ahead and is optimized across hundreds of hardware configurations and OEM combinations with off-take tenants on the same platform. #### Platform Capabilities - Automated Provisioning: Fully automate deployments with a choice of OS or custom Cloud-init or iPXE images, plus choice of disk and network configs. Support for hundreds of configurations and multi-OEM environments. - Hydra Commerce: Auto billing, metering, invoicing and payments processing across all contract types. Revenue reporting and utilization broken down by GPU, cluster, and location. - Fleet Performance Monitoring: 40+ visual dashboards and a 5-second BMC refresh, built to quickly get to root cause for operators and optimize ROI for investors and lenders. - Lifecycle Management: Automate GPUaaS lifecycle stages and management plus demand routing systems, with one standardized API across every cluster, data center, and region. - 24/7 HPC Engineering Support: 24/7 first-call on failures and diagnostics, operating in partnership with your on-site ops, with SLAs monitored by Hydra's engineering team. #### Who It's For - Operators: Full fleet control. Hydra's engineering team takes first call on failures, with monitoring and diagnostics to see problems coming. - Investors & Lenders: Real-time insights into per-GPU earnings, contract performance, and facility-level margins in a single dashboard. - Tenants: Consistent and secure. Every Brokkr-powered environment runs on the same API, the same security standard, and the same SLAs. #### Global Footprint - 5 years in development across hundreds of configurations. - 50,000+ GPUs under management across Americas, APAC & EMEA. - 50+ data centers globally. - 5 continents of sovereign AI and regulated builder coverage. #### Partnership & Certifications NVIDIA Cloud Partner, Dell Gold Partner, Lenovo, Supermicro, HPE.

Sovereign AI means the computing infrastructure that powers your country's AI sits inside your borders, follows your laws, and is operated by your people: the hardware, the data centers, the AI factories running national workloads. Sovereign AI infrastructure is becoming the next strategic utility. #### What It Is / What It Is Not - It is the physical foundation and trained workforce to operate it, kept under national control, and an AI Factory that earns real revenue from global AI demand: a national asset, not a cost center. - It is not a national language model (models are software; sovereign AI is the infrastructure that runs them), not a ban on foreign cloud providers, and not a multi-billion-dollar megaproject: it can start small, prove value, and scale on your country's terms. #### Why Hydra Builds Sovereign AI Differently - Your country keeps the revenue: the economic value of the AI factory stays at home. Server-layer rental returns significantly exceed colocation utility margins. - Hydra brings the customers: a global pipeline of paying customers (leading AI companies, research institutions, and cloud providers), so the AI factory earns from day one, not year two. - One trusted partner, end to end: sovereign AI architecture, deployment, operations, scaling, and monetization. - Export control compliance, built in: a dedicated export compliance team works directly with GPU manufacturers, US embassies, and the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). Hydra's Proof of Presence framework maintains verified proof of GPU location and use. #### One Operating System Multiple investors and operators can finance independent AI factory projects across the same AI Factory Operating System platform, accessing the same global customer base, provisioning tools, monetization channels, and export compliance framework. Nations running on Hydra build cohesive national infrastructure instead of fragmented, siloed data centers. #### Sovereign AI in Action: El Salvador El Salvador became the first country in the Western Hemisphere to deploy sovereign national AI infrastructure. Hydra Host built it with them, including the world's first sovereign deployment of NVIDIA B300 GPUs. Established a new AI Office, launched a National AI Lab, deployed the country's first GPU cluster, brought the first HPC OEM partners into El Salvador, and is developing greenfield and brownfield AI Factory capacity with the national power company.
