DigitalOcean disclosed a multi‑year partnership with Persistent Systems that will make the cloud provider the exclusive AI infrastructure partner for Persistent’s SASVA platform. The deal, valued at an eight‑figure average per annum, positions DigitalOcean as the sole supplier of GPU‑enabled compute, platform services and agent‑development tools for all SASVA AI workloads.
SASVA is an AI‑powered software‑engineering platform that stitches together code, documentation, architecture diagrams and executive summaries into a single, searchable knowledge graph. Persistent will run every SASVA deployment on DigitalOcean’s Gradient AI Agentic Cloud, leveraging the company’s GPU Droplets, Bare‑Metal GPUs and the Gradient AI Platform’s agent‑building framework.
The partnership is expected to cut AI infrastructure and operational costs for Persistent’s customers by more than 50%, a figure that underscores the value of DigitalOcean’s cost‑effective GPU architecture and transparent pricing. The eight‑figure annual commitment also represents a significant new revenue stream for DigitalOcean’s AI business, which has already seen AI/ML revenue double year‑over‑year and incremental ARR hit a record high.
DigitalOcean’s Q3 2025 earnings showed revenue of $230 million, up 16 % YoY, and adjusted EBITDA of $100 million, up 15 % YoY. The company raised its full‑year revenue guidance and highlighted the momentum behind its AI platform, noting that the new partnership will accelerate the rollout of Gradient features and deepen its presence among digital‑native enterprises.
Paddy Srinivasan, DigitalOcean’s CEO, said the deal “underscores how leading technology services companies are choosing DigitalOcean to power next‑generation AI workloads.” Sandeep Kalra, CEO of Persistent, added that the collaboration “simplifies how organizations build, deploy and scale AI, strengthening the foundation of the next wave of intelligent, platform‑driven innovation.”
By securing a multi‑year, high‑value contract with a global digital‑engineering leader, DigitalOcean is cementing its position as a preferred partner for enterprise AI deployments. The partnership not only boosts the company’s AI revenue trajectory but also validates the scalability of its Gradient platform, positioning DigitalOcean to capture a larger share of the growing AI infrastructure market.
