Armada RAISES $131M TO BRING AI COMPUTE TO THE EDGE

Big news from the edge computing world, Armada just secured $131 million in strategic funding to scale production of Leviathan, their new megawatt-scale modular data center (MDC).

Led by CEO Dan Wright, Armada is tackling one of the biggest challenges in AI infrastructure: bringing massive compute power closer to data and cheap energy sources.

What’s Leviathan?
A rugged, full-stack MDC that delivers 10x more compute than previous models. It can be deployed in weeks, powered by stranded natural gas, solar, or even nuclear and it adapts rapidly to AI chip and cooling tech changes.

The Mission?
To maintain U.S. dominance in AI and energy by enabling distributed AI training and inference, especially in remote or contested areas.

Backed by strategic partners like Fidelis New Energy and Bakken Energy, Armada is helping the U.S. bridge the digital divide with sovereign, distributed AI infrastructure.

Powered by the Armada Edge Platform (AEP) and part of the Galleon product line, Leviathan is a game-changer in the global AI race.

A massive leap forward in building the American AI stack.
