IREN Ltd. announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Mirantis, Inc., a provider of cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes-based orchestration and enterprise support services.The acquisition of Mirantis builds on IREN’s existing software, engineering and customer support capabilities, enhancing how compute is deployed, managed and operated for customers.

IREN is delivering AI Cloud services at scale across a range of workloads. As deployments grow, ensuring reliable provisioning, monitoring and support becomes increasingly important. Mirantis strengthens these capabilities with deep experience in cloud infrastructure and enterprise operations.

Mirantis has a track record of serving over 1,500 enterprise customers globally and is a founding Independent Software Vendor partner of the Nvidia AI Cloud Ready Initiative. Its k0rdent AI platform is designed to help manage AI infrastructure across bare metal, virtual machines and Kubernetes environments.

The acquisition is expected to enhance IREN’s platform across four key areas:

“IREN’s core advantage is execution – from securing power to building data centers, deploying GPUs and bringing compute online at scale,” said Daniel Roberts, co-founder and co-CEO, IREN. “Mirantis builds on our existing capabilities and strengthens how that compute is deployed, managed and operated for customers.”

“Mirantis has spent more than a decade helping enterprises deploy and manage cloud infrastructure. AI is creating a new set of customer requirements, and customers need platforms that are open, flexible and built for scale,” said Alex Freedland, founder and CEO, Mirantis. “IREN brings infrastructure at scale and proven delivery capability.
