IREN acquires Mirantis in $625M push to become a full-stack AI cloud platform
IREN has announced its plan to acquire Mirantis in a bid to strengthen its AI cloud delivery capabilities.
This acquisition aims to strengthen IREN’s deployment, operational awareness and visibility, customer support and market access.
Mirantis is a cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes solutions provider with more than 1,500 enterprise customers.
“IREN’s core advantage is execution from securing power to building data centers, deploying GPUs and bringing compute online at scale,” says Daniel Roberts, co-founder and co-CEO of IREN. “Mirantis builds on our existing capabilities and strengthens how that compute is deployed, managed and operated for customers.”
The deal enables IREN to get AI infrastructure up and running more quickly, while servicing current customers.
The consideration for the transaction will be made in IREN ordinary shares in a value of about $625 million. Mirantis will remain a standalone subsidiary.
Infrastructure providers are increasingly recognizing that orchestration, Kubernetes management, deployment automation, and enterprise-grade support are becoming strategic control points in the AI value chain.
By bringing Mirantis’ cloud-native and Kubernetes expertise in-house, IREN is positioning itself to evolve from a pure infrastructure provider into a vertically integrated AI cloud platform capable of accelerating customer onboarding and improving operational efficiency at scale. The move also underscores how AI infrastructure providers are racing to abstract growing infrastructure complexity for enterprises, particularly as hybrid, distributed, and inference-heavy AI deployments expand globally.
