One startup, Internet Backyard, allows data center providers to provide real-time quotes, billing, payments, and reconciliation for GPU capacity. The white-label software is embedded in data center providers’ systems.
“From the tenant side of the data center, we have the tenant portal, where you can see real-time GPU pricing and energy matching with your actual consumption,” said Mai Trinh, CEO of Internet Backyard.
The startup isn’t yet collaborating with hyperscalers; for now, it focuses more on emerging data centers that need to standardize billing, quoting, and payment processing. “When we talk to people who build a data center, they tell us that everything’s happening on Excel — there’s no real-time pricing there,” Trinh said.
