ROSELAND, NJ and ST. LOUIS, MO (July 27, 2023) – TierPoint, a leading provider of high-density infrastructure to companies that are enabling the development and operation of artificial intelligence (AI) tools and applications, has signed a long-term agreement with CoreWeave, a specialized cloud provider built for large-scale, GPU-accelerated workloads.
Under the agreement, TierPoint will deploy high-density colocation services in one of its state-of-the-art data centers.
