Kardwell, CEO of Vultr. “As we continue our global expansion, LuminArx’s collaborative, innovative approach and AMD’s strategic impact enable Vultr to further accelerate growth in AI infrastructure and cloud computing, creating the category-defining independent cloud infrastructure company.”

With its latest infusion of capital, Vultr plans to expand its global cloud GPU fleet—which currently resides at 32 cloud data center regions across six continents—as well as further solidify its position as an enabler of AI-native applications and accessible, global cloud infrastructure.

“We are excited to partner with Vultr to accelerate the growth of a standout leader in the cloud infrastructure industry,” said Tanisha Keshava Bellur, partner at LuminArx. “Among the many management teams and companies we’ve evaluated in the AI infrastructure space, Vultr distinguishes itself through exceptional leadership, outstanding execution, and a proven track record of delivering high-performance cloud infrastructure for over a decade.”
