AI Factories

Powering the AI Revolution with 20 years of NVIDIA Expertise

HELPING YOU ON YOUR AI JOURNEY

From deploying Europe’s first Tesla cards in 2007 to building today’s high-performance AI factories, OCF converts two decades of NVIDIA partnership into enterprise-scale outcomes.

At OCF, we recognise that AI’s transformative potential goes beyond advanced hardware. We provide a holistic service ranging from initial consultancy that identifies AI opportunities to the smooth integration of sophisticated software and solutions delivering large-scale compute capacity.   

Our distinctive mix of skills and strong partnerships, including a key relationship with NVIDIA, sets OCF apart. OCF Limited can guide you through every stage of AI adoption in your organisation, from early visionary ideas to full production.

Jensen's 5-Layer Cake

AI Factories
An “AI Factory” can mean many things to many different people. AT OCF, our philosophy aligns closely with Jensen’s “5 layer cake”. OCF Limited the ICING that turns 5 layers into one cohesive cake.

As a full-stack AI Factory integrator, OCF brings together the technology, expertise and partnerships needed to add value across every layer of the AI stack.

Energy
Starting at the foundation, OCF works at the critical interface between energy and compute. We collaborate with specialist partners to upgrade and deploy data centre infrastructure, while offering hosting options that provide the power, cooling and space required for systems built around the latest NVIDIA technology supplied by OCF.

Chips
At the chip layer, OCF maintains NVIDIA Partner Network (NPN) status. Through our extensive network of Tier 1 partners including Dell Technologies, Lenovo and Supermicro as well as NVIDIA, we can supply the latest NVIDIA GPUs in form factors ranging from desktop workstations to data centre-scale systems, tailored to each customer’s requirements.

Infrastructure
GPU servers depend on a robust infrastructure layer. Beyond the building, power, cooling and physical security of the data centre, OCF integrates the high-performance networking and storage that connect systems and services. This can include NVIDIA InfiniBand networking and scalable storage platforms from technology partners such as IBM and DDN, designed to manage the vast volumes of data consumed and generated by AI workloads.

This infrastructure must also be deployed, orchestrated and managed effectively. OCF combines deep technical expertise with our own management platform, OCF Steel, and partner technologies from providers such as Red Hat and Rafay. Together, these capabilities turn servers, network switches and storage systems into a consistent, unified AI supercomputing environment ready to support the model layer.

Models
The model layer may combine foundation models from technology providers such as OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta and Mistral AI with open-weight and domain-specific models available through platforms including Hugging Face and Fireworks AI. These models run on the infrastructure deployed and managed by the software stack beneath them.

Applications
At the top of the stack are the applications that convert infrastructure investment into business value: user-facing software, chatbots, AI agents, copilots, robotics and autonomous systems.

“The ICING”
Some clients need OCF to deliver infrastructure and model-hosting capabilities for an efficient AI token factory, others require support across the upper layers of the stack from compute and infrastructure to models and consultancy to develop AI applications that improve performance, reduce costs and create competitive advantage.

OCF provides the “icing on the cake” by simplifying a complex mix of physical infrastructure, hardware, software and services into one coherent AI Factory solution.

Whether you need infrastructure to train your own models, a secure environment in which to host models and build AI applications or agents, or consultancy to turn a specific use case into a business outcome, OCF brings every requirement into a single conversation. OCF’s role is to design and integrate the right technology stack to support your objectives and deliver measurable business value.

OCF broadly categorises our client AI Factory Requirements into 3 categories:

At OCF, we acknowledge that not everyone is looking for a full-blown AI factory today. Therefore, we offer e number of solutions that cater to these clients as well, assisting with just one or layers of the cake if required, or, offering smaller scale fully integrated agentic platforms, like Galene.ai that can offer similar outcomes at a lower scale, cost and complexity.

AI Factories

Also known as AI clusters

Designed for large-scale organisations that may require hundreds to hundreds of thousands of GPUs and support 500 to more than 5,000 users.

Typical use cases include frontier model training and sovereign AI, serving large enterprises, neocloud providers, university consortia and government-scale programmes.

AI Labs

Also known as AI servers or AI pods

Built for shared production environments serving approximately 10 to 500 users across 4 to 64 GPUs.

These platforms support enterprise AI projects, organisational agentic AI services and locally hosted, physically isolated deployments.

AI Makers

Also known as AI Desktop or AI Workstation Users

Ideal for start-ups, smaller organisations and pioneering teams developing AI capabilities quickly with their organsiations.

These environments typically support 1 to 10 users and up to 8 GPUs, often through desktop-based systems. They can also provide an accessible route to organisation-wide enterprise AI for SMEs.

Two key sectors for where AI has been employed for some time.

Higher Education

From search engines, to spelling and grammar checkers, to digital assistants, Artificial Intelligence already plays a big part in our day-to-day lives. And it’s going to get bigger.

In fact, it’s hard to imagine a future without AI. Discover why Higher Education needs AI - click here.
