SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28, 2026 - Zettabyte, an AI computing company delivering GPU infrastructure software for large-scale AI deployments, today announced a strategic investment from Headline Asia. The investment will support Zettabyte’s expansion in Japan, including customer development and industry partnerships across the country’s telecom and data center ecosystem.
The partnership will accelerate adoption of zWARE™, Zettabyte’s GPU infrastructure software, and advance TITAN, the company’s AI data center expansion initiative in Japan. zWARE™ enables GPU operators to improve visibility, utilization, and operational control across large deployments, including power-aware operations and intelligent infrastructure management.
“Japan is entering a new build cycle for AI infrastructure, driven by power constraints, operator requirements, and enterprise demand,” said Akio Tanaka, Founding Partner at Headline Asia. “We invested in Zettabyte because their software layer improves visibility, utilization, and operational control in large GPU environments. We will support the team as they expand in Japan through industry relationships and execution support.”
“Zettabyte helps GPU owners manage and operate their most valuable infrastructure while optimizing AI computing performance,” said Sam Lawn, Global CFO at Zettabyte. “We are excited to partner with Headline Asia to support the rollout of TITAN in Japan and to work alongside Japanese telecom carriers and data center operators to meet the growing demand for AI compute.”
“Zettabyte sits at the intersection of Taiwan’s AI hardware and supply chain strength, Japan’s rapidly growing infrastructure demand, and U.S. hyperscale expectations,” said Joseph Huang, Partner at Headline Asia. “We’re backing the team to execute at scale and establish that bridge.”
The investment positions Zettabyte to deepen partnerships across cloud, telecom, and data center infrastructure, while accelerating its go-to-market efforts in Japan.
Zettabyte is a leading provider of GPU infrastructure software for AI data centers, delivering solutions that maximize performance, efficiency, and scalability across large-scale deployments. Its platforms enable operators to manage, optimize, and scale next-generation AI workloads through intelligent GPU utilization and infrastructure control.
