reservations@nordarc.aiQuestions
Where will the servers be?
In Québec, at sites where the power is already allocated. The site is named in your agreement.
When can I get a server?
The first release is planned for 2027–2028. Your agreement sets a firm delivery deadline. If we are late you receive credits, and if we miss it by the agreed margin you can cancel at no cost.
Do I have to take a whole rack?
No. The smallest order is one 8-GPU server. You can add servers later; if you need them on the same high-speed fabric, tell us up front so we place them together.
What is the minimum term?
Twelve months. Terms of 24 and 36 months are also available.
Who can access my server?
You have full root access, and no other customer uses it. Our operations partner manages the hardware through its out-of-band controller for monitoring and repairs; that access is logged and limited to what the work needs. Physical access is limited to our staff, our operations partner and the manufacturer's technicians.
Does my data leave Québec?
No. Your server, its storage, backups and logs stay in Québec, and we never move your data out of the province.
How am I billed?
Monthly, in Canadian dollars, from the day you accept the server. GST and QST apply.
Who supports the servers?
Monitored 24/7 by our Québec operations partner, with technicians on site. Uptime and response times are written into your agreement.
What is the internet connection?
1 Gbps dedicated internet on a 10 Gbps fibre access, upgradable within that access. More bandwidth or a second carrier can be added in your agreement.
Can I resell hours I don't use?
Later, as an option. Once the first servers are running we plan to resell released hours and credit you 80% of the net revenue; the terms will be set out in writing. It is off by default.
Darren K. Reid
Founder & Principal
Darren has spent his career where land, power and capital meet. As a Québec developer he has built warehouses and multi-unit residential buildings, carrying them through zoning, financing, utility connections and construction, and he has led concept and land planning for master-planned communities of more than 1,000 homes.
In British Columbia he developed a proposal for a 100 MW sovereign AI data centre under Canada's AI Sovereign Compute Strategy, developed with First Nations partners. Earlier, he led predictive machine-learning development through affiliated companies, work that qualified under Canada's SR&ED research program.
Nordarc brings those disciplines together: development, utilities, construction and AI.
