Zettabyte and Taiwan's Institute for Information Industry Join Forces to Advance the Intelligent Operation of AI Data Centers

TAIPEI, July 9, 2026 — Zettabyte, a global AI computing company, today announced a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Taiwan's Institute for Information Industry (III) to make AI data centers more reliable, secure, and efficient to run.

As AI systems scale, running the data centers behind them reliably and efficiently has become as critical as the hardware itself. Zettabyte's software operates on top of the compute stack, giving the teams that run AI data centers greater reliability, visibility, and control.

Under the MOU, the two organizations will explore collaboration in three areas:

• Software that automates the day-to-day operation of AI data centers.

• The security and trustworthiness of AI systems, drawing on III's expertise in testing and standards.

• The evaluation of emerging AI applications that expand what AI platforms can do.

"Taiwan has the talent, the ambition, and the ecosystem to lead in AI," said Kenneth Tai, Chairman of Zettabyte. "The software and operations layer is redefining what usable AI looks like, and it is where Taiwan's combined strength in hardware and software will be decided. We are honored to bring Zettabyte's software and operational experience together with III's national research mission, and we look forward to a long and in-depth strategic collaboration."

"III has long served as a bridge between research and industry, helping advanced technologies move from the lab into real, testable use," said Huang Chung-Ming, Chairman of III. "Working with Zettabyte builds practical experience in operating, securing, and applying AI, and supports Taiwan's industry in developing AI that is more capable, trustworthy, and scalable."
