Data Launches Vertical Edge, a North American Edge Data Center Platform

Equity

Ownership Across North American Data Centers Advances Vertical Data’s Fully Integrated AI Infrastructure Platform

LAS

VEGAS, NV / ACCESS Newswire / June 1, 2026 / Vertical Data Inc. (OTCQB:VDTA) (“Vertical Data” or the “Company”),

operator of VerticalData.io and GPUfinancing.com, today announced the launch of Vertical Edge, an edge data center platform through which

the Company will hold direct equity ownership in the data center assets it sources, develops, leases and manages across North America.

The

launch and implementation of Vertical Edge marks the completion of a three-platform model by Vertical Data that integrates owned data

center infrastructure alongside its existing operating businesses. VerticalData.io is the Company’s enterprise GPU provisioning

and managed infrastructure business. GPUfinancing.com is its structured GPU financing platform. Vertical Edge is the data center ownership

platform. Together, these three platforms will seamlessly deliver GPU hardware, financing and the physical facilities to house them under

one company.

Platform Built Around Ownership

Vertical

Edge is developing a network of edge data centers near major North American metropolitan areas, targeting sites with existing power agreements

and a clear path to revenue within 12 to 24 months. The platform intends to pursue retrofits, new builds and acquisitions, with an active

pipeline of sites under evaluation across multiple markets.

The

Company’s first Vertical Edge project is in active development, with additional sites in the pipeline at varying stages of evaluation

and negotiation. Site selection criteria prioritize power availability, proximity to enterprise demand centers and speed to deployment.

These are the factors that differentiate edge facilities from large-scale hyperscale campuses and positions Vertical Edge to serve the

growing segment of AI and enterprise workloads that require low-latency, regionally distributed compute.

The

Strategic Logic: Owning What You Build

Through

VerticalData.io, we believe the Company has built a proven capability in GPU provisioning and managed infrastructure services for enterprises,

financial institutions and government customers. Through GPUfinancing.com, the Company has developed structured financing products purpose-built

for GPU deployments, enabling customers to acquire and scale compute infrastructure without large upfront capital commitments.

Vertical

Edge closes the loop. By owning the data center facilities that house the GPU infrastructure it provisions and finances, we believe that

Vertical Data will position itself to capture asset value across the full infrastructure stack rather than generating fees alone. Existing

GPUfinancing.com customers and VerticalData.io enterprise customers are expected to be natural candidates for capacity within Vertical

Edge facilities, creating a built-in demand channel that strengthens the economics of each new site.

This

integrated model across hardware, financing, and owned facilities positions Vertical Data as a differentiated platform in the AI infrastructure

market, where most participants operate in only one layer of the stack.

“The

launch of Vertical Edge is the natural next step in building Vertical Data into a fully integrated AI infrastructure platform,”

said Deven Soni, CEO of Vertical Data. “We provision GPUs through VerticalData.io. We finance them through GPUfinancing.com.

Now, with Vertical Edge, we will own the facilities that house them. We expect that integration will create a durable competitive advantage.

Our financing customers need a place to land their hardware, and our data center customers need GPU supply and financing. We built the

platform to serve both. We have an active pipeline of sites under evaluation and intend to expand Vertical Edge as a recognized edge

data center network across North America.”

Vertical

Edge’s site selection and network strategy are central to the platform’s differentiation. The Company evaluates fiber routing,

interconnection density and proximity to enterprise demand as core criteria for each new site, in addition to power and physical capacity.

“Edge

computing performance depends on network design as much as physical capacity,” said Dave Crowley, Network and Site Evaluation.

“At Vertical Edge, we are selecting sites with direct access to major fiber routes, carrier-neutral interconnection points and

dark fiber connectivity. Combined with direct ownership of the underlying data center assets, this approach is designed to support the

latency and throughput requirements of AI and real-time enterprise workloads.”

About

Vertical Data Inc.

Data Inc. is an AI infrastructure platform focused on the development and operation of high-density data centers and the financing and

deployment of GPU-based compute infrastructure. The Company integrates hardware procurement, structured financing, managed services,

and data center ownership to support large-scale AI deployments for enterprises, financial institutions, and government customers. Vertical

Data’s strategy is to use financing as a catalyst to originate deployments while building long-term asset value through owned infrastructure.
