Kaseya and OmniOn open local hubs

Two infrastructure players—Kaseya and OmniOn—said they’re opening Silicon Valley offices this week to support AI product development and data‑center customers, signalling demand from AI‑stack enablers for local R&D and customer hubs. Kaseya positioned its hub around agentic automation R&D, while OmniOn highlighted support for AI data‑center clients. (kaseya.com)(thefastmode.com)

Kaseya and OmniOn open local hubs as AI buildout pulls more infrastructure work into Silicon Valley Two very different infrastructure companies picked the same place this week for the same reason. Kaseya said on April 7, 2026 that it is opening a new Silicon Valley research and development hub for artificial intelligence work, and OmniOn Power said it has opened a Silicon Valley office in Milpitas, California to support customers building artificial intelligence data centers. (kaseya.com) The pairing is notable because Kaseya sells information-technology management and cybersecurity software, while OmniOn sells power-conversion hardware that keeps critical systems running. What connects them is the same customer trend: companies racing to build and operate artificial intelligence systems now want nearby engineering, product, and support teams. (kaseya.com) Kaseya framed its move as a product-development bet. In its April 7 announcement, the Miami-based company said the new office will accelerate investment in artificial intelligence and next-generation product innovation, with a specific focus on “AI-driven IT operations and agentic automation.” (kaseya.com) In plain terms, Kaseya is trying to build software that can do more of the repetitive work now handled by human information-technology teams. The company said the Silicon Valley hub will bring together engineers, product leaders, and artificial intelligence specialists to work more closely with the startup ecosystem and with customers testing new automation tools. (kaseya.com) That fits Kaseya’s broader business. On its company page, Kaseya says it was founded in 2000 as a remote monitoring and management company and now has more than 40 products, including its Kaseya 365 platform, aimed at managed service providers and internal information-technology teams. (kaseya.com) OmniOn’s announcement came from a different part of the artificial intelligence stack. The company said its new office is located at 400 North McCarthy Boulevard, Suite 200, in Milpitas, and that the site will serve as a hub for its artificial intelligence data-center initiatives. (omnionpower.com) That matters because artificial intelligence data centers are not just software projects. They need dense racks of chips, power shelves, converters, backup systems, and cooling equipment, and those systems have to run continuously even as electricity demand rises. OmniOn describes itself as a provider of power-conversion products for data center, wireless, and industrial applications where reliability and efficiency are critical. (omnionpower.com) OmniOn has been building toward this push for months. In January 2026, the company appointed Philip Zuk as senior vice president and general manager of a newly formed artificial intelligence and data center business unit, signaling that the new Silicon Valley office is part of a larger organizational shift rather than a one-off real-estate move. (markets.financialcontent.com) The office opening also puts OmniOn physically closer to the companies designing and operating the systems it wants to serve. In its announcement, OmniOn said the Silicon Valley location will help it support one of the world’s biggest clusters of artificial intelligence and data-center development, and the opening included a ribbon-cutting ceremony with president and chief executive officer David French. (omnionpower.com) For Silicon Valley, neither move is surprising on its own. What stands out is that both a software automation vendor and a power-equipment supplier decided local presence matters at the same time, suggesting that the artificial intelligence boom is rewarding not only model builders and chipmakers, but also the companies that help customers deploy, manage, and power the systems around them. (kaseya.com) The subtext is that artificial intelligence spending is spreading outward from headline-grabbing model companies into the less glamorous layers of the stack. Kaseya is chasing demand for software that can automate information-technology operations, while OmniOn is chasing demand for the electrical backbone that lets high-density computing run without interruption. (kaseya.com) Neither company disclosed the size of its new Silicon Valley operation in the materials reviewed, and neither announcement included hiring totals or capital-spending figures. But both statements were explicit about purpose: Kaseya wants a local base for artificial intelligence research and development, and OmniOn wants a local base for artificial intelligence data-center customer support. (kaseya.com) Taken together, the two openings are a small but clear signal about where the artificial intelligence market is heading in 2026. As more enterprises move from experimenting with artificial intelligence to running it in production, the winners may include the nearby specialists who can help write the software, automate the operations, and keep the power on.
