Canal-Cooled AI Data Centre

Sustainable, high-density GPU compute cooled by canal water—built to power Media Stream AI, IntuiTV personalisation, and your cloud workloads.

Sustainable by Design

Our canal-side facilities use closed-loop heat exchange with canal water to remove heat from high-density GPU racks, reducing grid strain and fresh-water usage. Waste heat can be repurposed locally for ecology projects and buildings.

  • • Canal water heat-exchange with low ecological impact
  • • High-density racks for modern GPU clusters
  • • Renewable-ready power integration
  • • Built for AI training, fine-tuning, and real-time inference

FAQ

How does the canal cooling work?

A closed-loop heat exchanger transfers heat from data hall water to a secondary circuit interacting with canal water, with filtration and temperature safeguards to protect canal health.

Can we colocate private, sovereign clusters?

Yes. We offer dedicated cages and private subnets with compliance roadmaps for ISO 27001 and SOC 2.

What GPUs are available?

Inference (L4/A10G), fine-tuning (A4000/A5000), training (A100/H100), and media (L40/A6000) tiers depending on workload.

Do you offer managed services?

We provide managed model hosting, inference APIs, burst rendering, and integration with Media Stream AI / IntuiTV.
