By combining Forfusion’s deep expertise in IT architecture, cloud and managed services with Stellium’s highly resilient, high-density data centre platforms, the partnership will enable organisations across the region to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and high-performance computing (HPC). Businesses will benefit from enterprise-grade infrastructure engineered specifically to support the demanding requirements of AI workloads, while maintaining robust security, compliance and operational resilience.
The joint offering will provide organisations with end-to-end managed services, from design and deployment through to ongoing optimisation of AI-ready environments.

The scalable platform has been tailored to meet the needs of hybrid cloud, HPC and AI-driven applications, offering flexibility as businesses grow and innovate.
Security and compliance remain central to the solution, with facilities aligned to stringent industry standards and equipped with advanced disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities. By enabling faster, more secure adoption of emerging technologies, the partnership supports the AI Growth Zone’s wider mission to drive digital transformation and fuel economic growth in the North East.
