Scaling for the AI Future
BUZZ recently achieved Bronze status in the Semi-Analysis ClusterMax™ rankings—surpassing numerous publicly traded peers in the AI cloud sector and validating its technical leadership.
In addition to the Bell AI Fabric facility, BUZZ has proprietary high-efficiency liquid-cooled data center designs in Canada and Sweden, and BUZZ is procuring long-lead components for go-live in the second half of calendar 2026. Each Canadian and Swedish site, alongside the Bell AI Fabric facility, will support 2,000 additional latest generation GPUs to expand the BUZZ AI Cloud for 2026. In total, BUZZ targets a fleet of over 6,000 latest generation GPUs for AI cloud by the end of 2026. This is projected to generate an additional $120 million in annual run-rate revenue ("ARR"), with an operating margin of 80% after electrical and data center costs, for BUZZ's AI Cloud business once deployed. This estimated increase is in addition to the Company's current $20 million ARR.
Combined with over 5,000 GPUs already in operation, this would bring the BUZZ AI Cloud to a total of over 11,000 GPUs by the end of 2026.
Furthermore, the HIVE 70 megawatt ("MW") operation Tier I data center in Grand Falls, New Brunswick with 32.5 acres of land enables BUZZ to upgrade the facility for hyperscaler colocation in a Tier III+ (PUE
