Aker BP and Armada have agreed to deploy Armada's Galleon modular data centre for offshore drilling operations on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The system will process and analyse drilling data directly on the rig, addressing connectivity limitations to shore-based infrastructure. The deployment aims to improve operational resilience by running AI models locally to predict equipment failures, reduce downtime and maintain operations during connectivity disruptions. The platform also enhances cybersecurity by minimising reliance on external networks and standardises vendor applications on a single edge architecture. Deployment will begin with one rig as a reference installation before expanding to additional assets. In 2025, Armada enabled the US Navy to deploy its first full-stack modular data centre at sea.

Armada has announced its Edge Platform will support NVIDIA AI Grid, enabling telecommunications operators and enterprises to deploy geographically distributed AI infrastructure for latency-sensitive workloads. The platform integrates with NVIDIA technologies including RTX PRO Servers, Blackwell GPUs, Spectrum-X networking and AI Enterprise software. The Armada Edge Platform provides unified control across distributed AI infrastructure, from centralised AI factories to edge locations, managing intelligent workload placement and resource optimisation across thousands of sites. It supports applications requiring low latency, such as conversational AI, AR/XR and real-time video generation. Armada is collaborating with Nscale to deploy sovereign GPU clouds globally using the platform. The company's Galleon modular data centres provide rapidly deployable infrastructure for AI Grid sites where existing facilities are unavailable.

Armada announced plans to use NVIDIA DSX Air to accelerate development and testing of its Bridge GPU management software through AI factory simulation capabilities. The company has been working with NVIDIA networking simulation technologies since late 2024 and will now extend usage to simulate GPUs, NVLink fabrics and Spectrum-X Ethernet switches. The simulation platform enables Armada to validate large-scale AI factory deployments without physical hardware constraints, compress proof-of-concept timelines from months to weeks, and create production digital twins for safer operational changes. Armada will also model its modular data centre, Galleon, within DSX Air. The full-stack edge infrastructure company serves sectors including energy and defence, delivering compute, storage and connectivity to remote industrial environments.
