Sentinum provides colocation facilities with adjustable space options, enabling cost-effective business growth. Sentinum is committed to providing physically and logically secure operations to its customers through multi-level electronic access, including biometrics and sophisticated surveillance systems. Sentinum’s on-site technical support team is ready to assist its customers, ensuring smooth operations.

Jay Looney, Sentinum’s Chief Operating Officer, commented on the launch, “Although our data center has mainly served Bitcoin mining up until now, we see a substantial demand for hosting and full-service operations in AI and cloud computing sectors. Our vision at Sentinum is clear: We aim to deliver trustworthy, scalable, and safe hosting solutions for AI-centric businesses and others in need of high-density power. As we plan our expansion from Michigan to Montana and Texas, our commitment to unparalleled security and service availability is strong.”

Milton “Todd” Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman added, “We are fortunate to have an accomplished data center expert in Jay, who joined our team earlier this year. I anticipate that Jay will have a tremendous impact on our continued success as we develop the build-out of our data center operations. I’m confident that Jay will focus on strategic and profitable expansion that will lead to our long-term stability and enhanced stockholder value.”

Michigan Data Center

Alliance Cloud Services, LLC (“ACS”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sentinum, owns and operates the Michigan Data Center, a 617,000 square foot energy-efficient facility, that boasts a power capacity of 28 megawatts (“MW”), 85% of which is green energy. The Michigan Data Center has the ability to scale to 300 MW, which would require additional capital and new power agreements with the existing utility company. ACS intends to undertake this expansion within the foreseeable future, subject to available financing and other conditions.

Montana Data Center

Sentinum’s wholly owned subsidiary, BNI Montana, LLC, has acquired land lease and power agreements to develop operational data centers in Montana, primarily for Bitcoin mining operations. The anticipated initial power capacity is up to 20 MW, for which construction and build-out have just been initiated. We believe the site has the potential to significantly expand, though a load feasibility study would need to be performed to determine the maximum expansion ability, and we would also require additional financial resources in order to increase the capacity.

Texas Data Center

The Company has agreements to operate a data center operation in West Texas. The current substation capacity is 12MW with the ability to scale to 78 MW through additional capital expenditures. We anticipate construction and build-out to begin within the next couple of months.

Leadership

Jay Looney, Sentinum’s Chief Operating Officer, with over 30 years of IT experience emphasizing data center services, is responsible for managing the data centers and associated services across all Ault Alliance companies. He has a global services perspective from time spent with Hewlett Packard and Accenture, was the founder and managing partner of a Texas based colocation/managed services company culminating in a successful exit for its equity holders.
