Nvidia's Americas channel chief highlighted the rise of AI-focused neocloud companies as a significant growth driver for solution providers within the AI data center infrastructure market.
Context
Nvidia Americas Channel Chief Craig Weinstein recently identified AI-focused "neocloud" companies as the primary growth engine for the next phase of data center expansion. These specialized providers, such as CoreWeave, Nebius, and Lambda Labs, offer GPU-centric infrastructure that often undercuts traditional hyperscalers. As enterprises scale AI training and inference, these platforms are becoming essential vehicles for adoption, especially as they move quickly to implement advanced liquid-cooled systems to bypass the power and real estate limitations found in legacy facilities.
Market data suggests this sector is expanding rapidly, with neocloud revenues on track to exceed $23 billion for 2025 and projected to reach $180 billion by 2030. They currently account for 17% of global AI infrastructure investment, a share forecast to grow to 30% within the next decade. This shift provides a massive tailwind for Nvidia partners tasked with integrating new hardware like the Blackwell Ultra and the upcoming Rubin platform, which is expected to reach the market in late 2026.
