Helix Infrastructure Partners, an AI infrastructure company backed by private equity firm KKR, has entered the AI data center investment market and plans to accelerate delivery of customized computing facilities for hyperscale cloud providers by acquiring existing data center developers.
According to Odaily, Helix is led by former Amazon Web Services executive Adam Selipsky and is supported by industry investors including Nvidia.
The company aims to obtain mature assets quickly rather than building data centers from scratch amid sustained demand for AI computing power.
Helix is evaluating acquisitions of data center companies that focus on developing customized facilities for large cloud customers, with the goal of easing what it described as a market “data center supply bottleneck” and speeding up AI infrastructure deployment.
Analysts cited in the report said that, under constraints from surging AI computing demand and tight power resources, private equity capital is accelerating involvement in consolidating data center assets, shifting AI infrastructure development from a build-driven approach toward an acquisition-driven model.
