Tom Richer, Alpha Compute
This interview explores artificial intelligence factories, NeoCloud infrastructure and sovereign computing in modern data centers. Tom Richer of Alpha Compute appears in conversation with Dave Vellante of theCUBE Research at the NYSE studio. Richer explains Alpha Compute's mission-based NeoCloud approach, emphasizing sovereign-by-design and confidential computing. They discuss hardware-level enclaves, partnerships with Dell and NVIDIA, the 72-node St. Louis deployment, brownfield retrofits, direct liquid cooling and strategies for powering and scaling AI infrastructure. Key takeaways include Richer stating that designing for sovereignty starts at the chip and hardware attestation level and is enforced through enclave architectures and strict data residency controls. They highlight integrated Dell-NVIDIA reference architectures and managed services for day-2 operations. Amit Govrin of theCUBE Research frames sovereignty as a spectrum while Richer outlines behind-the-meter power, closed-loop cooling and non-recourse financing models for AI super factories.
