The complete journey from raw steel to a fully operational, power-secure, highly protected modular data centre – built faster, stronger, and more securely than traditional construction.
Planning permission delays, grid connection nightmares, on-site weather risks, labour shortages, and spiralling costs are killing data centre projects across the UK. While competitors wait years, you can have a complete, tested, power-secure, and highly protected DataCell™ or Data Pod™ up and running in weeks. Our UK factory process eliminates the chaos of traditional builds and bakes in world-class quality, resilience, and security from the very first step.
Every DataCell™ begins with premium high-grade structural steel from certified UK and European mills. Our engineers design frames for exceptional load-bearing capacity, vibration resistance, seismic performance, and decades of service life. Unlike converted shipping containers that rust, flex, and fail under real-world stress, our frames are precision-cut, welded, and assembled using Lean Six Sigma processes that keep waste under 2% and guarantee perfect alignment every time.
This off-site approach means your modules are structurally superior and ready while your site is still being prepared – slashing months off project timelines and delivering a rock-solid foundation you can trust with mission-critical workloads.
With the steel frame complete, skilled British technicians install raised access flooring, comprehensive cable management, fire suppression infrastructure, access control pre-wiring, and full electrical distribution in a controlled, weather-proof environment. High-density server racking is fitted and aligned to your exact requirements. Every system is integrated and documented before the unit ever leaves the factory floor.
This factory-first method eliminates on-site defects, reduces installation risks, and ensures consistent quality that on-site builds simply cannot match.
Cooling often represents 30–50% of energy consumption. DataCell™ and Data Pod™ offer flexible, future-proof options tailored to your location, workload, and sustainability goals.
Precise air-based control for mixed or legacy environments. Reliable, well-understood, and excellent baseline performance.
Leverages cool UK ambient air to slash mechanical cooling needs – often cutting energy costs by 30–60% for much of the year.
Liquid cooling directly at the rack for high-density AI/GPU workloads (30–50+ kW per rack) with exceptional efficiency.
Pre-engineered for single- or two-phase immersion – delivering the lowest PUE for extreme densities and enabling heat reuse.
We combine technologies (e.g., free cooling + RDHx) for optimal efficiency, redundancy, and scalability – all fully integrated and factory-tested.
Grid delays and outages kill projects. DataCell™ and Data Pod™ give you complete energy independence through intelligent multi-source architecture.
Standard utility feed with intelligent ATS – lowest cost when stable.
Roof-mounted 3D-tracking arrays + lithium storage. Can cover 60–100% of daytime load while providing instant UPS-level bridging.
Diesel or gas standby generators with automatic start, sized for days or weeks of runtime. Fuel polishing keeps them ready.
Pre-engineered connections for SMR/micro-reactors – constant clean baseload power.
The intelligent BMS constantly monitors all sources. If grid or solar drops, the system draws from batteries in milliseconds – zero interruption to your IT load. Batteries bridge the gap while the ATS signals the generator to start (typically 8–15 seconds). Once stable, the generator seamlessly takes the load and recharges batteries. When primary power returns and stabilises, the system smoothly transitions back. You achieve Tier 3/4 resilience with far less complexity and cost than traditional setups.
In 2026, data centres face physical intrusion, insider threats, cyber-physical attacks, and environmental risks. DataCell™ and Data Pod™ deliver layered, defence-in-depth security that meets or exceeds ISO 27001, TIA-942, LPS 1175, and NPSA guidance – all factory-integrated and tested.
High-security fencing, anti-climb barriers, motion-activated lighting, fibre-optic perimeter detection, and AI-enabled CCTV with video analytics. Licence plate recognition and anomaly detection alert security teams instantly.
Multi-factor entry: RFID badges + biometrics (fingerprint, iris, facial with liveness detection) + PIN. Mantrap airlock systems prevent tailgating. Granular role-based access limits who can enter specific zones.
24/7 high-resolution CCTV with AI analytics covering exterior, interior, and cabinet levels. Integrated with intrusion detection and power/cooling systems for correlated alerts.
Turnstiles, secure enclosures rated to LPS 1175 SR1–SR5 or higher, rack-level locks, and optional modular vaults for ultra-sensitive workloads. Network segmentation and zero-trust principles supported physically and logically.
Early-warning smoke/heat detection with clean-agent gas suppression (no water damage to equipment). Redundant systems, leak detection, and environmental sensors integrated into the BMS.
All security layers tie into the central BMS for real-time monitoring and automated response. Pre-wired for advanced systems including drone detection or robotic patrols if required. Meets UK government and military-grade standards where needed.
Unlike traditional builds where security is often an afterthought, DataCell™ embeds robust, tested protection at every layer – giving you peace of mind that your data, equipment, and operations are safeguarded against physical, insider, and cyber-physical threats.
Every module undergoes comprehensive electrical, thermal, structural, functional, and security testing in our factory. We simulate power failures, cooling scenarios, intrusion attempts, and environmental stresses. Only when a unit passes every checkpoint does it receive final approval.
Modules arrive on standard transport. Our experienced team manages offloading, final connections, commissioning, and full system handover. Because 95%+ of the work – including security integration – is already complete and tested, you are usually fully operational within days.
DataCell™ and Data Pod™ deliver the speed, quality, power resilience, cooling efficiency, and multi-layered security that traditional construction cannot match. From the first cut of steel to live operations – every detail is engineered for your success in 2026 and beyond.
