The part that decides whether AI fits
A rack that was fine at 8kW is not fine at 60kW. Power distribution, containment and liquid cooling designed for what you actually intend to put in it.
What it is
Power and cooling, in plain terms
A rack that was fine at 8kW is not fine at 60kW. Power distribution, containment and liquid cooling designed for what you actually intend to put in it.
Power distribution
Feeds, redundancy and headroom for high-density rows.
Liquid and air
Direct-to-chip, rear-door or contained air, chosen on the numbers.
Rack and floor layout
Weight, access, aisle discipline and where growth goes.
Thermal modelling
What happens at full load, before you find out live.
How it works
How power and cooling is delivered
- 01Follow the power inUtility, transformer, UPS and generator sized as one path, with the redundancy level costed rather than assumed.
- 02Busway to the rackDistribution designed for the density you intend to sell, with headroom for the second phase.
- 03Contain before you chillCold aisle containment first. It is the cheapest capacity you will ever add.
- 04Liquid where air runs outRear-door heat exchangers, then direct-to-chip, chosen on the thermal numbers and not on fashion.
- 05Model it at full loadAirflow and thermal modelling before commitment, so the failure mode is found on a drawing.

Common questions
How is it priced?↓
Fixed price against a defined scope. Ongoing operation is quoted separately as a monthly service.
Do you supply the hardware?↓
We specify it and can procure it, but it stays on your balance sheet.
Can a partner sell this under their own name?↓
Yes. Design and build are delivered white-label where a partner holds the customer.
