Cato Digital

Cato Digital is a sustainable bare metal cloud provider that repurposes large-scale, second-life servers from hyperscalers like Meta and NVIDIA to deliver AI & GPU servers (up to 512GB VRAM), ephemeral application servers, and build-your-own storage arrays at 60-75% below major cloud providers. Led by CEO Dean Nelson, the company operates on a "use what we have before we build more" circular-economy principle, tapping underutilized data center capacity and clean energy, and is a founding member of the Infrastructure Masons Climate Accord. Customers provision and manage infrastructure through the Cato console rather than a public developer API.
