CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — ThisWay Global Inc. (“ThisWay Global” or “TWG”), a company focused on sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure and the developer of the Amalgamy.ai™ orchestration platform (“Amalgamy”), today announced a strategic partnership with Ace Computers, the Chicago-area builder of custom computing systems since 1983. Under a reseller agreement, Ace will offer Amalgamy as a term license with the GPU systems it builds, and the two companies will jointly market and sell Amalgamy to government, academic and enterprise customers.
The partnership pairs Ace’s decades of systems engineering with TWG’s orchestration software. Ace will provide first-line support for Amalgamy on the systems it builds, backed by TWG for advanced technical support and software updates.
Research computing centers and agencies invest heavily in accelerators, yet much of that capacity goes unused even while schedulers report it as busy. TWG calls this the Utilization Illusion™: allocation looks high, but in TWG’s analysis of research and enterprise clusters productive output often lands between 30 and 50 percent, largely because conventional schedulers are not designed to balance security, data requirements and available compute together. Amalgamy is built to close that gap, and it measures success in goodput: the useful work delivered per GPU dollar.
Amalgamy works with existing schedulers such as Slurm and Kubernetes. Users describe the work, and Amalgamy selects the accelerator, stages the data beside it and runs the job. It is designed to place each workload on the hardware that best fits its requirements, whether that calls for high precision, low precision or another specialized capability. As new accelerator generations arrive, customers can add them to the same fabric while earlier generations stay in productive use.
Amalgamy is vendor-agnostic and is designed to work with the hardware and tooling each operator selects, reducing the risk of vendor lock-in. Beyond scheduling, it supports policy administration, data-access controls, metering and evidence management. These capabilities work in coordination with TWG’s Sovereign Blueprint™, an evidence-based framework designed to help organizations identify and document controls over their data, models, computing resources and access. Policy controls are designed to keep the right people on the right data and the right silicon across sites, including air-gapped deployments.
“Ace has built the systems government and research teams have depended on for more than 40 years,” said Angela Hood, Founder and Executive Chairman of ThisWay Global. “This partnership lets those customers buy Amalgamy with hardware they already trust, get more productive work from every accelerator they own, and show who controls their data, models and computing resources.”
“Our customers want systems that deliver results,” said John Samborski, Chief Executive Officer of Ace Computers. “Partnering with ThisWay Global lets us offer Amalgamy with our GPU systems, so customers can run multiple accelerator generations as one fleet and get more work from the hardware they already own.”
Availability. Proof-of-concept engagements are available now through Ace and TWG, with general availability of Amalgamy v1.0 planned for Q1 2027. TWG also plans to deploy Amalgamy at the Reveille AI Compute Center (RACC), which TWG is developing at the Texas A&M RELLIS campus in Bryan, Texas. SC26 attendees can see Amalgamy running on Ace systems at the companies’ shared booth, #2534, at McCormick Place. Information on Amalgamy and the Sovereign Blueprint is available at www.thiswayglobal.com; information on Ace is available at www.acecomputers.com.
