Company Description

Aranya converts bare metal into custom, production-ready clusters in under 48 hours for fast-growing inference providers, AI startups, and data centers. Powered by clusterdOS, Aranya's open-source distributed OS engine built on top of Kubernetes, which turns any quantity of raw bare metal servers into a self-healing, enterprise-grade, cohesive whole, reducing average downtime by 90%. Its proprietary technology, the AI-native multicluster operating system, gives teams direct, plain-language control over how inference or training is designed, scaled, and operated.
