AI-Ready Data Centres

To meet the high-power density demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI) infrastructure, purpose-designed data centres are essential.

At Colt DCS, we are ready to cater to the AI surge. Our hyperscale data centres currently under construction, in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Mumbai, Chennai, Tokyo, and Yoshikawa will provide the power, cooling, and infrastructure to support AI workloads.

AI is not a new technology. A key component, Machine Learning, has existed for many years. However, the developments of Generative AI in 2023 and beyond have significantly accelerated the AI ecosystem and its growth. Generative AI, which can create new content by learning patterns from existing data, has transformed various industries and applications.

According to IDC, the annual growth rate of AI is projected to exceed 55%, with the market valued at over €150 billion by 2027. This rapid expansion is driven by the increasing adoption of AI technologies across different sectors, necessitating robust data centre infrastructure to handle the demanding workloads. Our hyperscale data centres are designed to meet these needs, ensuring reliable, secure, and efficient operations for AI applications.

How we can support your AI workloads?

High capacity sites

Colt DCS has procured large land parcels with significant power contracts in our targeted cities. This enables us to deliver multiple data centres in each campus. With up to 50MW or more of IT power per building, you can be confident that our sites can accommodate large AI nodes at high-power densities.

Efficient cooling

We can provide a hybrid cooling solution using both, traditional air and liquid-to-chip cooling. Therefore, our customers can be sure that the increased heat generated from high-density AI infrastructure will be efficiently managed in a mixed-use data hall.

High capacity AI nodes

Our new data centres support high-capacity AI nodes. You can rest assured that our sites are designed to accommodate the dense power, data hall configuration and dense networking requirements of multiple AI nodes.

Management of high-weight loads

The added weight of introducing liquid cooling systems within data hall floors is no obstacle. Our new data centre architecture has been designed to ensure our customers that their IT infrastructure will be placed in facilities that can accommodate cabinets designed to accommodate GPU dense server equipment and integrated liquid cooling elements.

“For some time, Colt DCS has been prepared for an increase in high-performance computing (HPC) and a growing requirement for power-dense rack solutions. With the advent of AI, the capability to serve market demand has been achieved, where all our new hyperscale data centres in development are now AI-ready and offer very high-capacity and super-efficiency hybrid cooling to meet customer expectations."
