Arup's case study details its engineering, reference design and venture support for Flexnode's modular data centers.
Arup
Arup’s project page, “Accelerating the next generation of modular data center design,” documents its work with Flexnode.
Through Arup Ventures, Arup supported delivery of Flexnode’s first full-scale technology pilot and its technology and commercial roadmap, along with industry introductions and fundraising guidance. Arup provided multidisciplinary engineering for an initial prototype unit and reference design consulting. For Flexnode’s GB200 reference design, the team defined power distribution and equipment layouts using modular IT and mechanical power blocks, and designed the systems integration strategy. Arup also set out a Concept of Operations framework for governance and operating procedures, and continues to provide MEP, fire safety, controls and ITC support.
