AI-ready facilities planned for high-density GPU environments — with power redundancy, liquid-cooling readiness, multi-layer security and disciplined site selection that prioritises engineering reality over marketing claims.
The data centre is the physical foundation of AI infrastructure. GPUs consume radically more power and generate more heat per rack than traditional IT equipment — a single H100 server can draw over 10 kW, and a rack of eight such servers exceeds 80 kW. Conventional data centres designed for 5–10 kW per rack cannot accommodate this density without fundamental redesign of power distribution, cooling systems and structural load-bearing. NOVACORE data-centre development starts from these first principles: the facility is designed for the thermal and electrical profile of GPU compute, not adapted from a general-purpose template. Every aspect — rack density, power architecture, cooling technology, network topology, physical security and expansion phasing — is specified against validated demand forecasts, not speculative assumptions. The result is infrastructure that is fit for purpose from day one, with no costly retrofits required when GPU densities increase.
High-density racks designed specifically for GPU thermal and power profiles — not retrofitted general-purpose cabinets. Rack densities from 20 kW to 80+ kW with structured cabling pathways, enhanced structural loading, direct-to-chip liquid cooling distribution and hot-aisle containment designed for exhaust temperatures that exceed traditional data-centre norms.
Planned N+1 or 2N power redundancy with diverse utility feeds, on-site generation, rotary or static UPS and battery energy storage. Direct-to-chip liquid cooling readiness with facility water loops sized for 100% liquid-cooled GPU deployment. Free cooling, adiabatic and mechanical cooling tiers selected based on local climate analysis to optimise PUE without compromising reliability.
Multiple carrier entry points with physically diverse fibre routes into the facility. Meet-me rooms providing neutral interconnection for customers, carriers, cloud providers and internet exchanges. Redundant backbone connectivity with diverse paths to major European internet exchange points. Carrier-neutral model that allows customers to bring their own network providers.
Multi-layer physical and logical security zones that separate public areas, staff areas, operations centres, data halls, loading bays and building services. Biometric access control, continuous video surveillance, mantrap entry points, visitor escort policies and security operations centre with 24/7 monitoring. Security design follows defence-in-depth principles.
Utility power diversity with feeds from separate substations where grid topology allows. On-site generation with fuel storage, delivery contracts and regular load-bank testing. UPS systems sized for full IT load with battery autonomy sufficient for generator start and stabilisation. Energy storage systems for peak shaving and grid frequency response where economically viable.
Data halls built and commissioned in phases that align with validated demand — not speculative pre-building of empty capacity. Each phase adds incremental IT load and is triggered when the preceding phase reaches a defined utilisation threshold. This approach matches capital deployment to revenue generation and avoids the financial drag of underutilised assets.

| PUE target | <1.2 | Design target, measured post-commissioning |
| Network carriers | 3+ | Minimum diverse entries |
| Physical security | Multi-zone, biometric, 24/7 SOC | Defence in depth |
The facility is designed toward defined resilience targets. Tier ratings and certifications — such as Uptime Institute Tier III or IV, ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS — are claimed only after formal assessment by accredited certifying bodies is completed. Until then, all specifications are stated as design targets, not achieved certifications. This honest posture ensures that customers, investors and partners can trust every claim NOVACORE makes about its infrastructure.
