Value proposition

End-to-end "compute as a service" — from data center construction and GPU cluster delivery to per-second-billed cloud access and enterprise AI usage governance — so enterprises get compute itself rather than an engineering program to obtain it.

Products and solutions

One KONST group with three brands: Konstra AI (data center infrastructure, GPU cluster deployment, 24/7 operations, colocation), Glows.ai (GPU cloud platform with per-second billing, K8S scheduling, public/private/hybrid cloud), Horizon AI (k) ATP Token platform for AI governance — single-key multi-model access, quota controls, audit logs, unified billing. Bare-metal GPU rental (H100–GB300, Vera Rubin), data center digital twin (Omniverse/CAE).

Unique value

Full-stack, three-layer compute delivery (infrastructure + cloud + governance) that turns compute into enterprise infrastructure, leveraging Taiwan's hardware/supply-chain strengths.

Target customer

Large enterprises and business groups, government agencies, publicly listed companies, educational/research institutions, and developers.

Industries served

High-end manufacturing, biotech, gaming, finance, government, education/research

Technology advantage

Owns full compute service chain (site selection, MEP, cooling, GPU cluster tuning, 24/7 ops); resource virtualization supporting multi-brand GPUs (NVIDIA/AMD); cross-network file system storage; automatic elastic scaling ("Tripods") with cross-regional migration; 15 MW liquid-cooling capacity at SMX01 Jakarta; own 1,024 B300 GPU cluster in Cyberjaya, Malaysia with ADATA.

How they differentiate

Only player combining self-built data center construction + GPU cloud + enterprise AI governance in one stack; positions compute as production equipment with tokens as output ("Token Factory"); leverages Taiwan hardware/supply-chain advantages to move up the value chain.

Main competitors
