Frequently Asked Question?

What is a “micro data center” and why not just use the cloud??

A micro data center (MDC) is a complete, self-contained computing solution that you deploy locally at your site that operates on the edge and has ties to a larger cloud but can stand independent. For AI, this is critical because it processes data at the source, eliminating the latency and high data-transfer costs of sending massive datasets to a remote cloud, enabling true real-time decisions.

What are the site requirements for one of these units?

Our MDCs are designed to be “plug-and-play.” Because they feature integrated, high-efficiency cooling, you don’t need a special server room or dedicated HVAC. You just need a stable, level surface, a standard power connection, and a network link.

How long does it take to deploy?

Deployment is in weeks, not months or years. Our units are pre-integrated and factory-tested before they arrive. This allows you to bypass the complex design and construction phases of a traditional data center and get your AI applications running almost immediately after production is completed. Lead time on production is 6-9 Months.

How do you handle security, especially at a remote or edge location?

Security is layered. Physically, the units are housed in rugged, tamper-proof with biometric and facial technology integrated into a sophisticated door lock system. The facility includes 24/7 environmental monitoring from our integrated AI and remotely from your device. Digitally, our modular facility supports modern network security protocols and data encryption, ensuring your sensitive data remains secure and on-premises.

What kind of AI workloads can this run?

These are built for high-performance “Compute for AI.” They are configured with powerful, server-grade GPUs and processors, making them ideal for demanding workloads like AI model training, real-time video analytics, machine vision, and large language model (LLM) inference.

How does this solution scale as our AI needs grow?

Our solution is modular, allowing you to scale easily. Instead of over-provisioning a large data center, you can start with the compute power you need today and simply add more all-in-one units as your AI demands increase, following a predictable, pay-as-you-grow model.

What is the specific Uptime Institute Tier rating (or equivalent reliability standard) of our modular micro data centers?

Tier IV (Fault Tolerant): 2N or 2N+1 redundancy; allows any single failure to be automatically isolated without impacting the IT load. • Tier IV: 99.995% Uptime

What is the guaranteed annual uptime of our modular micro data centers?

Our AG-40 modular micro data centers are engineered and designed to meet the Uptime Institute Tier IV classification, featuring N2+1 redundancy across power and cooling. We understand that third-party validation is non-negotiable for critical infrastructure. Therefore, we will include both the Tier Certification of Design Documents (TCDD) and the Tier Certification of Constructed Facility (TCCF) from the Uptime Institute as a formal, mandatory deliverable in our contract. The completed TCCF will be provided and validated prior to the facility’s final acceptance and delivery, ensuring you receive unbiased, third-party proof of the physical asset’s reliability.

What is the guaranteed operational Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) under projected AI loads?

While the exact annual average PUE depends on the specific operational set point and the local weather data, the Free-Air/Closed-Loop design targets a best-in-class operational PUE. We guaranteed Annual Average PUE of approximately <1.2.
