TechFlow reports, June 30, according to The Information, the newly established AI infrastructure company Helix Infrastructure Partners, backed by private equity giant KKR, has officially entered the AI data center investment sector, planning to accelerate the provision of customized computing facilities for hyperscale cloud providers by acquiring existing data center developers.
Helix is led by former Amazon Web Services executive Adam Selipsky and has received support from industrial capital such as NVIDIA, aiming to quickly acquire mature assets rather than building data centers from scratch against the backdrop of continuously high AI computing demand.
It is reported that the company is evaluating the acquisition of data center companies focused on developing customized facilities for large cloud customers to alleviate the current market "data center supply bottleneck" and accelerate the pace of AI infrastructure deployment. Analysts point out that under the dual constraints of exploding AI computing demand and tight power resources, private capital is accelerating its intervention in data center asset consolidation, promoting a shift in AI infrastructure from development-driven to M&A-driven.
