What is AIZ?
AIZ (Aotearoa Intelligence Zone) Ltd is building New Zealand’s sovereign AI compute infrastructure, combining renewable power, modular data-centre design, and high-performance GPU clusters.
We are currently in the fundraising and pre-deployment phase, preparing for pilot installation in Christchurch.
Why will AIZ be more affordable than AWS or Azure?
Our pricing advantage comes from engineering efficiency and sustainability, not compromise.
Reliable global supply chain – enterprise-grade hardware sourced via trusted international channels.
Modular deployment design – efficient, easily scalable Phase 1 architecture.
Future immersion cooling – Phase 2 will adopt water-exchange immersion systems, targeting PUE ≈ 1.07–1.15.
Renewable energy – more than 50% solar and hydro, cutting long-term costs.
Result: comparable performance, local control, and roughly one-third of global cloud pricing (based on current projections).
Are the listed prices accurate?
All projected prices on this site are based on detailed cost analysis and feasibility evaluations conducted by the AIZ engineering and financial teams.
The same data and models have been submitted to investors for verification during our fundraising process.
Actual operational pricing may vary slightly due to factors such as:
energy market fluctuations,
hardware procurement costs, or
exchange rate changes.
However, these differences are expected to remain within a controlled and reasonable range.
Our goal is to maintain long-term price stability while ensuring sustainable operations.
What stage is the project at now?
AIZ is in the fundraising + infrastructure design stage.
We are finalising property, energy, and network partnerships in Christchurch and preparing for Phase 1 deployment (planned for late 2025).
How stable will the system be?
Reliability is central to our design. Each compute node will run with redundant power and networking, and local monitoring from Christchurch ensures fast response.
Target uptime: 99.9%, achieved through modular redundancy and local control.
Where will my data be stored?
All client data will be processed within New Zealand.
We comply with the Privacy Act 2020 and design for strict physical and network isolation per tenant.
Your data will never leave the country unless you authorise it.
How does AIZ ensure performance and security?
Each node is built with enterprise-grade GPUs and ECC memory.
Security measures include encrypted networking, VLAN isolation, and container-level access control.
AIZ will also offer optional private clusters for sensitive workloads.
How can my organisation participate?
