Iozera has announced the acquisition of a fully operational 4.5-megawatt data center in Houston, Texas, which it plans to expand and modernize into a 10-megawatt, AI-ready multi-tenant hub. The facility marks the first in Iozera’s planned network of AI factories—data centers engineered to deliver real-time inference, fine-tuning, and deployment capabilities directly where enterprises need them most.

Building the Foundation for AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS)

Iozera’s approach introduces a new operational model for compute: AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS). Unlike traditional cloud providers that merely rent capacity, Iozera’s AI factories combine high-density GPU infrastructure with human expertise, enabling a closed-loop system where every model learns and adapts continuously.

Each site integrates trained human teams who supervise, label, and refine models in production—a rare “humans-in-the-loop” design that ensures AI systems align with real-world context and enterprise goals. This combination of automation and human oversight bridges the gap between research and reliable production-scale intelligence.

“Compute isn’t just leased—it’s orchestrated,” Iozera’s leadership noted, framing AI infrastructure as an intelligent service rather than a static resource.

Technology, Cooling, and Global Partnerships

The Houston facility will leverage NVIDIA Blackwell GPUs on a Rubin-ready roadmap, offering next-generation performance for advanced workloads in inference, training, and fine-tuning.

Iozera has partnered with ZutaCore to deploy its HyperCool® direct-to-chip, waterless liquid-cooling system, capable of delivering up to 140 kW per rack. The system’s efficiency allows for dense GPU configurations without compromising sustainability.

Schneider Electric will provide value engineering and system optimization, ensuring efficiency and scalability in power and energy design, while Pegatron (Taiwan) will supply GPU servers and integrate hardware for rapid global deployment.

Together, these partnerships reinforce Iozera’s goal: delivering GPU-dense, sustainable AI infrastructure built for real-world, enterprise-scale use cases.

Why Houston Matters

Houston is emerging as the AI capital of the United States, attracting over $3 billion in tech investment from companies such as Apple, NVIDIA, and Foxconn. Anchored by the Texas Medical Center (TMC)—the world’s largest medical complex—Houston combines rich clinical data, advanced research ecosystems, and high-volume decision-making, making it a prime hub for AI innovation.

For Iozera, the location aligns strategically with Kriss.ai, its healthcare large language model (LLM) deployed across hospitals and clinics worldwide. The platform is evolving into the Doctor Digital Twin LLM, designed to capture medical reasoning, empathy, and communication style—pushing AI closer to human-centered care and clinical trust.

Ecosystem and AI Portfolio

Iozera’s AIaaS backbone powers an expanding portfolio of ventures, from healthcare to digital engagement, including:

  • Kriss.ai – Healthcare LLM platform for clinical intelligence

  • Chatli.ai – Conversational AI for enterprise engagement

  • AI Mate – Companion intelligence platform

  • $AIMAtoken – Ethereum-based digital asset for AI ecosystems

In partnership with MCV Group, one of Southeast Asia’s largest creator networks, Iozera is developing AI Mate and Kickit.ai, platforms merging emotional intelligence with scalable creator monetization. This ecosystem demonstrates Iozera’s ability to translate compute power into cultural and commercial intelligence—bridging infrastructure with human experience.

Efficiency as the New Scale

As the AI industry transitions from experimental development to mass deployment, Iozera’s acquisition strategy stands out. By upgrading existing operational facilities rather than building new ones—each typically costing $10–12 million per megawatt—Iozera achieves capital-efficient expansion and faster market readiness.

The Houston site, currently leased back to Men’s Wearhouse (Tailored Brands) during retrofit preparation, underscores this efficiency-driven model. By repurposing active infrastructure into AI factories, Iozera is pioneering a more sustainable, distributed path to large-scale intelligence.

An Open Invitation

Iozera is inviting AI developers, investors, and enterprises to collaborate through upcoming joint-innovation discovery sessions, aimed at co-developing next-generation AI infrastructure, applications, and partnerships.

 

As the company scales its network of AI factories, one thing is clear: Iozera isn’t just building data centers—it’s constructing the operating system for the AI economy.
