• Viadex GPS avoids operational and legislative obstacles via offering end-to-end support for the rollout of AI infrastructure across nations worldwide.
•The model exemplifies a broader shift: data centres are evolving from isolated sites to globally integrated, compliance-aware ecosystems.
What happened：Viadex GPS expands for global AI data centre deployment
UK-based infrastructure specialist Viadex has launched or expanded its Global Partner Services (GPS) division, aimed at solving the rising complexity of deploying AI and IT infrastructure internationally. Through GPS, Viadex guides clients across more than 190 countries in handling diverse and shifting trade rules, tariffs, duties, taxes and contractual frameworks.
Brian Dunleavy, Viadex’s chief commercial officer, emphasises that AI is reshaping data-centre projects into holistic journeys and that lack of control over the entire supply chain introduces costly delays. The GPS service offers practical end-to-end project orchestration, from cross-border logistics to compliance, enabling faster deployment for hyperscalers, enterprises or data-centre operators.

Why it’s important
AI is no longer a niche workload—it demands global scale, ultra-low latency, and distributed presence. This pushes data-centre infrastructure beyond local build and into a truly international ecosystem. But moving kit across borders is fraught with risk—customs, changing rules, taxes, import/export law. Viadex GPS emerges as a kind of ‘ecosystem integrator’, smoothing out those frictions so that deals don’t stall at docks or regulatory offices.
By effectively providing a “one-stop” global operational layer, Viadex is helping firms treat infrastructure not as discrete silos, but as parts of a connected, compliant, and scalable AI infrastructure network.
This reflects a broader sector dynamic. Cisco’s EMEA CTO recently warned that legacy data-centre networks are buckling under AI loads, with 70 % of UK IT leaders saying their facilities aren’t AI-ready and 83 % planning expansions elsewhere . Likewise, hyperscalers such as Meta and OpenAI are investing in massive global AI-optimised facilities—Meta by the hundreds of billions on “titan clusters”, and OpenAI targeting at least 1 GW in India alone.
