Taiwan-based artificial intelligence (AI) data center infrastructure firm Zettabyte has raised new strategic funding from Lam Capital, the corporate venture arm of U.S.-based semiconductor equipment supplier Lam Research Corp.
The funding round also included participation from major Taiwanese electronics manufacturers Foxconn, Pegatron, and Wistron, the company said.
The funding will support Zettabyte’s product development and international expansion, as it aims to scale its proprietary platform offerings amid rising global demand for high-performance AI computing infrastructure, according to the announcement.
Founded in Taipei, Zettabyte provides turnkey GPU cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) for enterprise and public-sector clients operating large-scale AI workloads.
Its core product, Zware, integrates infrastructure orchestration, cluster management, and software-defined networking with in-house designed hardware and advanced liquid cooling systems.
The company is also developing a new product line, Zsuite, which aims to deliver end-to-end infrastructure optimization.
Zettabyte said Zsuite is designed to lower the total cost of ownership and operational complexity for organizations building sovereign or large-scale AI compute environments.
Kevin Chen, managing director at Lam Capital, said:
Zettabyte operates at the intersection of two megatrends: AI and infrastructure. This investment highlights the importance of supporting the advancement of next-generation AI data center infrastructure solutions to enable the next wave of innovation across the semiconductor ecosystem.
As demand for GPU resources continues to outpace supply due to the rapid growth of generative AI, companies operating AI data centers are under pressure to improve efficiency, scalability, and security.
Zettabyte said its vertically integrated approach addresses these constraints by optimizing both the software and hardware layers of the compute stack.
“We are honored to welcome Lam Capital as a strategic investor,” said Kenneth Tai, chairman of Zettabyte. “Their support validates our mission to reimagine AI infrastructure from the ground up.”
Zettabyte did not disclose the amount raised or its post-funding valuation. The company remains privately held and is expanding operations across multiple global markets.
