Companies to roll out AI services to Available Infrastructure micro data centers in New York and Philadelphia.
IBM is partnering with a Web 3.0 startup to roll out blockchain technology to two micro data centers in the US.
IBM and Datavault AI Inc. this week announced plans to “deliver enterprise-grade AI performance at the Edge in New York and Philadelphia,” using the SanQtum AI platform operated by Available Infrastructure.

IBM said SanQtum AI is a fleet of synchronized micro-Edge data centers running IBM’s watsonx portfolio of AI products on a zero-trust network. Further details on the deployments weren’t shared.
“By unifying speed, resilience, and trusted protection in a single platform, SanQtum AI provides a powerful new foundation for AI and computing safety, reliability, and performance,” said Daniel Gregory, CEO of Available Infrastructure. “Datavault AI’s deployment of this technology, in collaboration with IBM, will help bolster enterprise-grade AI in the Northeast in ways that we believe will set the bar higher than ever for others to follow.”
The network of Edge facilities will run Datavault AI’s Information Data Exchange and DataScore agents – built with watsonx – to help clients process and tokenize data for cybersecure data storage and compute.
“We now have the infrastructure to deliver what the market has only talked about,” said Nathaniel Bradley, CEO of Nasdaq-listed Datavault AI. “New York and Philadelphia represent a cornerstone of our national rollout, where SanQtum’s unmatched cybersecurity foundation allows us to deliver what enterprises in insurance and finance have demanded for years: instant, protected, data monetization at scale. With this deployment, we’re not just processing data-we’re creating a new asset class with national security-grade protection, opening revenue streams that could potentially exceed $2 billion annually in this market alone.”
The companies aim to launch in Q1 2026, with plans to expand into multiple metros in the future.
Biz Dziarmaga, head of Americas AI partnerships at IBM, added: “Our work with Datavault AI and Available Infrastructure demonstrates the power of IBM’s ecosystem approach — leveraging watsonx to deliver scalable AI that helps enterprises drive smarter operations and faster business outcomes.”Datavault announced earlier this week that it was partnering with AP Global Holdings LLC (d/b/a Available Infrastructure) to deploy the latter’s Edge facilities across 100 cities across the US.
Available Infrastructure was founded out of Available Power, which develops, owns, and operates fleets of battery assets.
