The company plans to invest A$350 million into an on-demand GPU pool, offering it to enterprise customers. Megaport CEO Mike Reid emphasized the significant opportunity in AI inference infrastructure. The firm, which utilizes Nvidia and AMD chips, aims to leverage its network of over 1,100 data centers in 31 countries to deliver AI compute closer to end users. Additionally, Megaport tightened its 2026 revenue guidance to A$307 million-A$315 million, reflecting strong business momentum.
