Advanced High Performance Computing Solutions

Kao Data is one of few data centre operators in the UK engineered to specifically cater for advanced supercomputing and high performance computing (HPC) deployments, as well as intensive forms of AI and machine learning.

With scalable, state-of-the-art architecture capable of supporting the most sophisticated customer infrastructure demands, and specialist HPC expertise - we’re your ideal home for HPC and AI.

Technology Pod

Our innovative Technology Pod is specifically designed for HPC and GPU-accelerated AI, machine learning and financial grid computing. Designed to meet the challenge of high-density applications the Technology Pod integrates direct dialectic liquid cooling technologies to deliver economically superior outcomes in terms of power utilisation and energy efficiency resulting in reduced TCO. Offering rack densities of up to 80kW across a smaller data centre footprint, the Kao Data Technology Pod represents a step-change in HPC infrastructure.

Features

Compact Pod architecture incorporating 4-6 racks
Utilisation of 80kW per rack / 480kW per Pod
Direct dialectic liquid cooling capabilities
Housed in a hyperscale-equivalent, highest-grade data centre
100% power and cooling availability guaranteed

Benefits

‘Future-proof’, cutting edge design for HPC
