In this episode of Clean Integration, Soluna CEO John Belizaire sits down with Jamie McAvity, Founder and CEO of Cormint Data Systems, to talk about what really powers modern compute: infrastructure.

From early missteps to a refined, infrastructure-first model, Jamie shares how Cormint is rethinking how data centers are designed, built, and deployed. Together, John and Jamie break down why energy, not hardware, is quickly becoming the defining constraint in scaling AI and Bitcoin infrastructure.

The conversation also dives into Soluna and Cormint’s collaboration on Project Kati 1, and what it reveals about the future of modular, renewable-powered data centers.

In this episode, they cover:

Why an “infrastructure-first” approach is critical to avoiding risk and building durable, scalable systems
How zero-based design helps eliminate unnecessary complexity and accelerate deployment
The strategic advantage of colocating with renewable energy, especially within ERCOT
What Project Kati 1 reveals about the future of modular data center builds
