Start with the capacity you need and scale incrementally as demand grows. Every block is a factory-built, liquid-cooled AI infrastructure module — power, cooling, controls, and monitoring integrated and pre-tested before it ships. We engineer flexible, pre-planned space for OCP or NVL72 rack systems, so your selected compute infrastructure can be installed and brought online. As AI workloads scale, power availability, cooling capacity, and deployment speed are becoming critical constraints. Modular data centres offer a practical way to overcome these constraints. Why a Modular Approach - **Factory prefabrication, BIM-engineered.** BIM digital design and lean off-site fabrication build pipework, electrical systems, and cooling as integrated systems — higher quality, less on-site welding, lower risk, faster delivery. - **Integrated by design.** Each block combines server racks, power distribution, cable management, fire protection, and precision cooling into one standardised enclosure. You get a tested system, not a parts list. - **Resilient power.** UPS + Nickel-Zinc BBU + BMS protect workloads and simplify battery management. - **Operations visibility from day one.** DCIM monitors power, liquid cooling, environment, and security with real-time alarms, PUE analytics, asset lifecycle, and capacity planning. - **Power-adjacent deployment.** Small enough to deploy behind-the-meter, at renewable sites, or on stranded/underutilised power, turning idle energy into AI capacity. ![Diagram image](https://www.gerchamp.com/media/i/6d9fad87-8156-4be4-8b04-efda2c3beb00/modular-prefabricated-data-center-500kw-to-3-5mw-for-fast-deployment-gerchamp.webp) Gerchamp 500kW All-in-One Modular AIDC The technology behind it Core Technologies.

A modular data centre is a factory-built infrastructure module that integrates IT space, power, cooling, and monitoring into a standardised enclosure. The module is shipped to site for connection and commissioning, and additional modules can be added as capacity grows. Modular data centre vs traditional build — which is better? For AI and other high-density compute workloads, modular data centres can significantly reduce deployment time and improve project predictability. Traditional data centre construction can take 2–5 years from site development to operational capacity, while prefabricated systems can be powered in weeks once the site is ready. Do I need to supply my own servers and GPUs? Yes. We design and engineer the powered-and-cooled infrastructure — enclosure, liquid cooling, power, controls, and monitoring. IT space is reserved for your selected rack systems. You provide the compute hardware, while Gerchamp provides the powered and cooled infrastructure required to deploy it. What liquid cooling technology do you use in your modular data centres? We use a self-developed closed-loop direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling solution with Gerchamp's Bluearth liquid cooling technology for high-density AI and accelerator racks, including OCP racks and NVIDIA GB200, GB300 and Rubin systems at 120kW+ per rack. What type of batteries and backup power do your modular data centres use? Each block pairs with Gerchamp's proprietary UPS, nickel-zinc battery-based BBU and battery monitoring system (BMS). The modular data centre can be integrated with customer-supplied diesel generators, gas turbines, or renewable energy sources. Is your modular data centre system self-developed? Yes. Gerchamp develops its core liquid cooling, power and backup, and DCIM technologies in-house. These technologies are protected by Gerchamp’s intellectual property and patents. What industries and use cases can a modular data centre be used for? Well beyond AI, modular blocks serve any workload that needs fast, dense, resilient compute close to power or users: AI/ML training and inference, HPC and scientific simulation, financial low-latency and risk workloads, oil & gas, media rendering, healthcare and genomics, telecoms and 5G edge (MEC), enterprise private cloud, sovereign and government compute, and energy or industrial sites — including behind-the-meter and stranded-power sites, as well as locations with access to waste natural gas. How do I choose between the 500kW all-in-one unit and the 3.5MW kit modular data centre? They are two distinct product lines that share one engineering philosophy but run on separate architectures. The **500kW All-in-One** is a factory-integrated, standardised unit that ships ready to connect; it is the faster path for rapid deployments, and you can add units to grow towards MW-class capacity as demand proves out. The **3.5MW Kit** is configured to your site and workload, with modular power and cooling tailored to your load profile, rack-level density tailored per aisle, and site-specific utility interface, redundancy, and code compliance. Both are powered-and-cooled shells with reserved positions for your chosen GPU/accelerator racks, so you bring the compute. **At a glance: 500kW = fast, standardised, turnkey; 3.5MW = large, configurable, site-assembled.** ### Related Content #### Related Products - [GZC-9038S](https://www.gerchamp.com/en-GB/products/gzc-9038s) ([Agent MD](https://www.gerchamp.com/en-GB/products/gzc-9038s/raw.md)) - Discover the GZC-9038S.
