In a significant move to reshape AI infrastructure across the U.S., Hypertec Cloud has officially acquired 5C Data Centers and launched a standalone entity, 5C Group. This newly formed company aims to revolutionize next-gen data infrastructure by combining advanced AI compute capabilities with large-scale colocation services.
Strategic Acquisition to Power AI at Scale
The acquisition signals the official spin-off of Hypertec Cloud from its parent organization, Hypertec Group. With Jonathan Ahdoot stepping in as CEO of 5C Group, the organization is set to become a dominant force in AI digital infrastructure across North America.
By merging Hypertec Cloud’s high-performance computing with 5C Data Centers’ expansive footprint, the 5C Group now operates one of the largest and most versatile AI infrastructure platforms in the region. The partnership is focused on building state-of-the-art AI factories to meet evolving enterprise demands.
Three Pillars of the 5C Group Strategy
1. Unified AI Infrastructure Ecosystem
5C Group plans to deliver a fully integrated platform that supports everything from AI-native startups to large-scale enterprise deployments. This ecosystem consolidates data center architecture and AI compute under one roof, streamlining operations for clients with complex AI workloads.
2. Rapid Deployment in a Capacity-Constrained Market
With data center availability tightening due to growing AI adoption, the new entity is poised to reduce deployment timelines significantly. Integrated solutions will allow for synchronized rollouts of compute and hosting infrastructure, accelerating time-to-market for AI clusters.
3. Optimization of Performance and Cost
Leveraging Hypertec’s extensive legacy in hardware innovation, 5C Group will implement cutting-edge cooling technologies like direct-to-chip liquid cooling and immersion cooling. These innovations are designed to handle higher rack densities while maximizing energy efficiency and cost savings.
A Future-Ready Infrastructure Vision
“We’ve closed the gap between AI compute needs and physical hosting capabilities,” said Jonathan Ahdoot, CEO of 5C Group. “Our merger enables us to deploy faster, scale smarter, and meet the most demanding AI infrastructure requirements of today and tomorrow.”
Simon Ahdoot, CEO of Hypertec Group, emphasized that the formation of 5C Group is a milestone event. “This marks a new era for our organization. Together, we’re building infrastructure that is purpose-built for the speed, scale, and sophistication of future AI innovation.”
Massive Capacity Ready for Deployment
5C Group’s combined assets include more than 600 megawatts (MW) of deployable capacity within the next 6 to 18 months, contributing to a roadmap of over 2 gigawatts (GW). These facilities are engineered to meet the high-density, high-power, and high-efficiency demands of AI-specific colocation and compute workloads.
As digital transformation accelerates across industries, the need for secure and robust AI infrastructure is more critical than ever. Companies like ePlus are also reinforcing AI infrastructure leadership, further validating the importance of scalable and specialized solutions.
With the launch of 5C Group, the AI infrastructure landscape is set to evolve rapidly—driven by innovation, speed, and the capacity to support AI at industrial scale.
