On August 10, 2026, Aether Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHR) announced that Aether Compute, its wholly owned AI infrastructure subsidiary, has completed the acquisition of a 60% equity interest in Noviant. Noviant is now a majority-owned subsidiary of Aether Compute. Existing shareholders retain the remaining 40%, and members of Noviant’s management team continue to lead the business.
Founded in 1997, Noviant provides enterprise infrastructure, cloud, cybersecurity and managed IT services to Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies and major financial institutions. Its work covers cloud and network administration, systems integration, backup and disaster recovery, and 24/7 technical support, together with data center design and AI infrastructure such as GPU server clusters, high-density data center environments and modular liquid-cooled systems.
The combination extends Aether Compute’s capabilities from infrastructure planning and deployment through ongoing security, management and technical support. Together, the companies plan to help enterprise and AI-focused clients deploy modular data center environments and meet growing demand for AI-ready infrastructure.
“We believe demand for AI-ready infrastructure is increasing and that clients need a partner that can design, deploy and manage that infrastructure end-to-end,” said Nicolas Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Aether. “Noviant’s engineers and nearly three decades of hands-on deployment experience help advance that vision and deepen our commitment to developing AI infrastructure solutions designed to support faster, more capital-efficient deployment.”
“For 29 years, Noviant has built and managed critical infrastructure in some of the most complex, highly regulated environments in the industry,” said Kevin Wang, Chief Executive Officer of Noviant. “We believe partnering with Aether provides a broader platform from which to scale that experience across the AI infrastructure sector and pursue the joint development and commercialization of modular AI infrastructure solutions.”
