BUZZ HPC expands with new cluster in Quebec, acquires Toronto facility to fuel growth

‍

BUZZ HPC’s President and COO Craig Tavares joined Steve Darling from Proactive to unveil a major expansion in the company’s high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure.

‍

BUZZ has launched a new NVIDIA Hopper GPU cluster in Quebec, the latest addition to its growing supercomputing network that now spans three clusters across Canada and Sweden.

‍

The newly deployed Quebec cluster is equipped with NVIDIA Hopper GPUs and powered by NVIDIA’s Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking platform, delivering exceptional processing speed and data throughput.

‍

Tavares confirmed that the system is already operating near full utilization—a strong signal of market demand and operational readiness.

‍

“This cluster is a big step forward in our mission to provide accessible and scalable AI compute infrastructure across Canada,” Tavares noted.

‍

Since 2023, BUZZ HPC has focused on building a pan-Canadian HPC footprint, establishing state-of-the-art data centers in Quebec and New Brunswick. These facilities span multiple time zones and languages, enabling localized support and broader accessibility for Canadian businesses and institutions.

‍

In a move to lower entry barriers, BUZZ is offering free and subsidized HPC credits to Canadian startups, research institutions, and companies, empowering more organizations to harness advanced compute power for AI development and innovation.
