FTI launches Nol8 AI Data Plane Version 1.0, delivering real-time streams of data at wire speedNeoCloud providers can begin customer testing and proof-of-concept workPlatform targets governed, low-latency data delivery for agentic AI workloads Special Report: FortifAI has launched Version 1.0 of its Nol8 AI Data Plane, moving the platform from development into customer testing with NeoCloud providers and early design partners.FortifAI (ASX:FTI) has built Nol8 for demanding agentic AI workloads, where large numbers of autonomous AI agents require unique real-time streams of data delivered quickly and governed according to compliance rules.The company said Version 1.0 exceeded its planned functionality and was delivered ahead of the roadmap target outlined in February.Nol8 CEO Kelly Herrell said specific data is essentially the fuel AI agents run on.“It must be curated to each agent's needs while adhering to discrete compliance policies, at wire speed,” he said.“We built the AI Data Plane to address this critical requirement, ensuring every agent gets precisely the right governed data at millisecond speed and at a lower cost than alternative approaches.“Through this unique combination of capabilities, Nol8 is designed to increase GPU utilisation and speed agentic actions, benefiting both NeoClouds and Enterprises."Completing the AI stackNeoCloud providers are building infrastructure around storage, compute, GPUs, CPUs and high-speed networks.FortifAI is positioning Nol8 as the “fourth layer” in that stack: an AI Data Plane designed to control and deliver data between systems and AI workloads.In practical terms, Nol8 is designed to make sure each AI agent receives the right data for its job, while sensitive information is classified, governed or withheld before it reaches the model.The platform combines software algorithms with industry-standard accelerated hardware to deliver governed data at low latency, high throughput and lower total cost of ownership.FortifAI said the product can benefit NeoClouds by reducing idle GPU cycles, improving capital payback and increasing margins on existing infrastructure.For enterprises, the value is in fast, governed data delivery for agentic AI workloads without exposing sensitive information or losing control over compliance.Nol8 founder and chief technology officer Alon Rashelbach said agentic AI is creating a new infrastructure requirement, demanding a continuous flow of petabytes of data at the highest speeds.“The AI Data Plane is built for that requirement, delivering wire-speed governance for AI data with breakthrough algorithms accelerated by specialised cloud hardware,” he said.“We are now testing it with our first design partners.”This article was developed in collaboration with FortifAI, a Stockhead advertiser at the time of publishing.
