Cornerstone today announced a partnership with Stonesthro, a U.K.-based edge cloud provider, and Zadara, a global fully managed cloud services firm, to explore new ways of bringing compute and data closer to where they are created and used.
The partnership aims to provide solutions for national challenges, from improving data sovereignty and security to supporting low-latency AI applications and strengthening the U.K.’s digital backbone.
By combining Cornerstone’s national infrastructure, Stonesthro’s sovereign edge capability and Zadara’s cloud technology, the partnership will examine how edge computing can unlock new performance, sustainability and resilience benefits across industries.
As demand for data-intensive and AI-driven services grows, organisations across sectors, including public sector, healthcare, finance and critical national infrastructure, face mounting pressure to balance latency, sovereignty, scalability and sustainability.
This partnership aims to provide solutions that:
- reduce latency by processing data closer to the source for faster, real-time insights,
- support sovereignty and compliance by ensuring data is governed under UK law,
- enable scalability through flexible, distributed infrastructure that adapts to demand,
- advance AI-readiness with NVIDIA GPU-optimised multi-tenant platform for emerging workloads,
- improve sustainability through more energy-efficient, lower-carbon edge deployment models and
- enhance resilience by distributing workloads to reduce single points of failure.
“This partnership brings together three complementary strengths: national infrastructure, digital innovation and artificial intelligence, to explore how the UK can build greater trust and resilience into its digital systems,“ said CEO of Cornerstone Pat Coxen. ”It’s about finding practical solutions to some of the UK’s most pressing connectivity and compute challenges.”
