STN

What STN does

STN Incorporated is a California-based, privately held managed infrastructure provider founded approximately in 1991 and headquartered in Pleasanton. The company delivers enterprise IT, private cloud, cybersecurity, compliance, and technology procurement services under a one-partner operating model, with its strategic focus centered on private GPU cloud infrastructure for AI workloads through its GPU One platform. GPU One is built on NVIDIA's AI infrastructure reference architecture and supports multi-generation NVIDIA GPUs (H200, B200, B300, GB300), offering dedicated GPU servers, GPU-aware managed Kubernetes, a 12.8 Tbps east-west / 800 Gbps north-south networking fabric, NVLink interconnects, and tiered storage.

Revenue mechanics combine reserved multi-year GPU subscriptions (NVIDIA B200 at $3.75/GPU/hr and B300 at $4.25/GPU/hr on 3-year terms), consumption-based CPU compute, usage-based storage ($25–$60/TB/month), per-seat managed security ($45/seat/month via STN One Security Plus), and VAR-based technology procurement. STN holds SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001 certifications, with FedRAMP authorization in progress. The customer base spans AI labs, frontier model developers, enterprises modernizing infrastructure, high-growth SaaS, healthcare, regulated industries, and physical AI / robotics companies, with Skild AI as the publicly named flagship reference.

STN distributes exclusively through direct enterprise sales, supported by NVIDIA NCP Preferred Partner status and a curated technology ecosystem including CoreSite (colocation), HPE, Palo Alto Networks, NetApp, Pure Storage, Cloudflare, Arista, Supermicro, and NinjaOne. Active data centers are in Silicon Valley, Los Angeles, and Chicago (CoreSite CH2 with 1,500+ B200 GPUs), with Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas under development. Project Landman, a modular data center initiative, targets 400MW initial capacity scaling to 1.6GW. The leadership team is led by Founder & CEO Sabur Mian, Co-Founder & CRO Tom Genn, and Co-Founder & Chief Architect Armar Reggans, supported by a recently expanded executive bench including a Chief AI Officer, three VPs, and a Director of Business Development.

Direct peers

• CoreWeave: Largest independent GPU cloud specialist built on NVIDIA reference architectures, offering reserved GPU compute, managed Kubernetes, and AI infrastructure at scale. Most direct comparable in product, customer segment, and NVIDIA-aligned go-to-market.
• RunPod: GPU cloud provider offering reserved and on-demand GPU instances for AI training, inference, and workloads. Comparable in NVIDIA GPU cloud offering, though more self-service and less enterprise/compliance-oriented than STN.
• Lambda Labs: GPU cloud provider offering reserved H100/B200 instances, on-demand GPU workstations, and private cloud for AI labs and enterprises. Directly comparable in targeting AI builders and regulated enterprises with NVIDIA GPU capacity.
• Crusoe: GPU cloud provider pairing NVIDIA hardware with stranded/renewable power for AI training and inference. Directly comparable as a privately held NVIDIA-aligned GPU cloud targeting AI labs and frontier-model customers.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Azure: Hyperscaler offering ND H100/B200 VM series, Azure Kubernetes Service, and FedRAMP/ HIPAA / PCI / SOC compliance. Comparable as the largest enterprise alternative with the deepest compliance portfolio and Azure AI Foundry integration.
• Vultr: Global cloud provider offering GPU instances alongside general-purpose compute, storage, and bare metal. Comparable in private-cloud GPU offering and consumption pricing, though broader portfolio dilutes AI-infrastructure specialization.
• DigitalOcean (with Paperspace): Public cloud provider serving SMBs and developers with GPU compute via Paperspace plus managed infrastructure. Comparable as alternative GPU cloud and managed infrastructure provider, though serving a smaller and less regulated customer base.
• AWS (EC2 / Neuron / Bedrock): Hyperscaler offering NVIDIA GPU EC2 instances (P5/B200), managed Kubernetes (EKS), and compliance certifications across every major framework. Comparable as the dominant alternative buyers evaluate, with massive scale and procurement inertia.

Emerging players

• Together AI: AI-focused cloud offering reserved GPU clusters for training and inference, with deep focus on open-source model hosting. Comparable in serving AI builders with reserved NVIDIA GPU capacity, though narrower in enterprise managed services.
• Modal Labs: Serverless AI compute platform running on GPU clusters for inference and batch workloads. Adjacent in GPU cloud for AI workloads but more developer-focused with less emphasis on dedicated private-cloud enterprise deals.
