Enterprise customers can now commission paid proof-of-value engagements before moving to full commercial contracts.
The company will pursue joint go-to-market activity with Megaport and Equinix and will update the market as paid engagements are secured.

FortifAI Limited (ASX:FTI) announced on 20 October 2026 the commercial launch of NOL8 AI Data Plane Version 2.0, which it describes as the production, revenue and enterprise-ready release of its platform. The version is generally available on Amazon Web Services and is open to enterprise customers for paid proof-of-value engagements that can transit Megaport and Equinix networks globally.

Delivery against the roadmap

The company's February 2026 roadmap set out three stages: a Demonstration Engine, a Customer Benchmarking Engine targeted for July 2026 and a revenue-ready Commercial Engine by the end of calendar year 2026. Version 1.0, the Customer Benchmarking Engine, launched on 29 June 2026. Version 2.0, the Commercial Engine, arrived more than two months ahead of the year-end target and in line with the late-October availability flagged to the market on 12 October 2026. The company said the enhanced features were built in under four months, half the build cycle of Version 1.0.

Production features

Version 2.0 adds features intended for running on live production data. The release lists resilience and hardening for continuous operation and peak load, deployment across every region served by AWS, Megaport and Equinix, capacity that scales from a single workload to enterprise-wide use, and a complete user interface for configuring policies, deploying, monitoring and managing the platform. The company also stated that it has put in place the monitoring, support and operating processes needed to run paying customer workloads.

Availability through Megaport and Equinix

NOL8 joined the Megaport AI Exchange in June 2026 and is now offered as a service in the Megaport Marketplace, alongside compute, connectivity and storage that customers already use. Megaport's private network spans more than 1,100 data centres. Equinix customers can reach NOL8 over an existing Fabric connection in any of more than 60 metros, without per-site deployment. The company states that the platform can transit those networks to any region its customers serve, so that data is governed where it is created and where it is used.

Paid engagements and go-to-market

General availability moves NOL8 from proof-of-concept access for selected customers to paid customer engagements. Enterprise customers can commission paid proof-of-value projects, running NOL8 on their own production data to measure its impact before entering full commercial contracts. The company also plans joint go-to-market activity with Megaport and Equinix, focused on enterprise sales execution and the development of joint architectures that combine NOL8 with each partner's network for enterprise AI deployments. The announcement does not state any contract value, customer name or revenue figure, and FortifAI said it will update the market as paid engagements are secured.

Version 1.0 background

Version 1.0 was described as having proved NOL8's performance on customer data, and Version 2.0 takes the same engine into production with the features enterprises need to run it every day. The company says Version 2.0 is now generally available on AWS and deployable across AWS global regions through Megaport and Equinix, which moves the platform from select-customer access to broader commercial availability.

What the release does not disclose

The announcement does not state pricing, the number of enterprise customers evaluating the platform, contract values or revenue from the commercial release. Paid proof-of-value engagements are described as the step before full commercial contracts, so the move from proof of concept to paid projects does not itself represent contracted revenue. FortifAI, a Sydney-based company, said it will update the market as paid engagements are secured.

Summary of the launch

The release records the delivery of Version 2.0 ahead of schedule, availability on AWS and through Megaport and Equinix, and a shift to paid proof-of-value engagements, with no revenue from those engagements reported at this stage.
