Proof of Capability · Modular Data Center For Sale
We don't just say we can deploy — the units are built, tested, and staged. Each 900kW modular data center is hyperscale-grade infrastructure manufactured by Silent-Aire/JCI for Azure deployment: a complete, self-contained containerized data center in standard 20-ft ISO sections.
All 7 units are built, factory-integrated, and in stock — available for immediate delivery, with no 12–24-month construction lead time.
New-build electrical infrastructure carries industry-reported lead times of one to two-plus years in 2026 — medium-voltage switchgear, distribution transformers, generators and large UPS are all supply-constrained. Every major component of these units — switchgear, UPS, PDU transformers, busway, cooling, and fire suppression — is already built, factory-integrated, and staged in the 7 units in inventory.
The units are built on Silent-Aire’s hyperscale modular platform — factory-integrated Server Room Modules (SRM) and Power Room Modules (PRM) from the same product family Silent-Aire deploys for hyperscale cloud operators worldwide.
Median time from interconnection request to commercial operation for U.S. grid projects completed in 2024. Grid access — not compute — is the constraint.

Up to 4.8 MW IT · 96 positions × 50 kW
A new basis of design — new power train, expanded utility service, and heat-rejection changes including liquid-cooling options. Engineering pathway details in the full package.
Full high-density conversion — up to 4.8 MW IT per unit · updated August 10, 2026
For AI inference, fine-tuning, and dedicated GPU clusters, each unit carries an engineered full high-density conversion pathway for the 96-position hall. It is a new basis of design — a new power train, expanded utility service, and heat-rejection changes including liquid-cooling options — not a modification of the as-built unit. The conversion basis is 96 positions at 50 kW — up to 4.8 MW IT per unit. Engineering pathway details are provided in the full package.
The two tiers never blend on this page: base figures are verified as-built records; conversion figures describe the engineered upgrade program, scoped per project during diligence with pathway details in the full package.
Dual-source critical power with full redundancy.
Custom DX cooling with free-cooling capability.
SCIF accreditation pathway with RF shielding.
Each unit arrives as 9 factory-integrated sections — IT halls, cooling and power distribution, a utility corridor, and dedicated power rooms — set on a prepared pad with standard rigging and joined through pre-engineered mechanical and electrical interfaces, with weather hoods sealing every inter-section joint.
The platform's containerized format, RF shielding, and ICD-705 design basis make these units well suited to edge data center deployments, JADC2-aligned command-and-control compute at the tactical edge, disaster-recovery capacity, AI/HPC expansion, and other defense-grade missions where speed of deployment is the deciding factor.
Deployment Roadmap
The schedule clock starts when the Site Ready Certificate is signed — every stage after that is a gated milestone with a written checklist, not a promise. Expand any stage for its gate checklist.
What the clock does and does not include: the schedule clock starts at a signed Site Ready Certificate. Permits, utility service and demarcation, fiber construction, and route/crane access are buyer and site gates that run before certification — they are verified in writing, never assumed.
Previously powered industrial sites can bring real assets to a deployment. None of them are assumed: the columns below separate what a site can offer from what we verify in writing before any schedule commitment.
Hard line: prior industrial approval — including previously powered digital-infrastructure use — is never treated as authorization for data center operation. Every gate is re-verified for this use, in writing.
| Phase | Gate to pass | Primary owner |
|---|---|---|
| Site qualification | Written verification: zoning for data center use, utility capacity confirmation, AHJ determinations, grounding and drainage, carrier diversity | Buyer + DDCD |
| Construction release | Site Ready Certificate executed — pad, power, access, and fiber committed in writing | Buyer |
| Transport + assembly | Sections delivered, set, and joined; envelope weather-tight | DDCD |
| Energization | Utility termination, protective coordination, first power | Buyer’s utility + DDCD |
| Ready for Load | Commissioning complete; acceptance countersigned | DDCD + Buyer |
| Production | Workload migration on the buyer’s schedule | Buyer |

Request a BriefingOperations Integration
A DDCD unit joins the estate you already operate. Integration is a scoped workstream across six surfaces — planned with your operations team before Ready for Load, not discovered after it.
Five acceptance states, each with its own written evidence. Buyers are quoted schedules against the wrong state often enough that we define the language up front.
Site Ready Certificate countersigned — pad, power, access, and fiber verified in writing. The deployment clock starts here.
Sections set and joined, envelope weather-tight, mechanical sign-off recorded.
Commissioning complete and acceptance certificate countersigned — racks may energize on A+B feeds.
Infrastructure stateEstate integration complete — EPMS and BMS points mapped, NOC/SOC monitoring live, DCIM and CMDB records loaded, ITSM processes cut over.
Workloads migrated and in service on the buyer’s schedule — declared by the buyer, supported by DDCD.
Business outcomeReady for Load and Production Ready are never conflated. Ready for Load is an infrastructure state DDCD certifies with commissioning evidence. Production Ready is a business outcome on the buyer’s migration schedule. Quoting one as the other is how modular projects earn bad reputations — we won’t do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Unit pricing and commercial terms are provided in the full technical package, released under mutual NDA — typically within one business day of a qualified request.
The units are built, factory-integrated, and staged — in stock and available for immediate delivery, with no multi-year construction lead time. Overall schedule is measured in weeks, not years, and depends primarily on site readiness: pad, power, and network.
The units are built to an ICD-705 design basis with TEMPEST/RF shielding. A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF, pronounced “skiff”) is accredited by the cognizant government authority; we support that accreditation pathway.
Yes. Each unit ships at 900 kW IT load and can be upgraded to up to 4.8 MW per unit via a full high-density conversion — 96 racks at a 50 kW target — a step-change in usable capacity and unit economics versus the as-built rating. The conversion is a new basis of design engineered per project; engineering pathway details are in the full package.
The units were manufactured by Silent-Aire (Johnson Controls) for an Azure hyperscale deployment and are staged and deployment-ready. Full documentation and the complete photo library are provided in the technical package.
Each unit is designed for dual-source power — utility plus generator feeds — on a prepared pad with network connectivity. Detailed site requirements are included in the full technical package.
Each 900 kW unit ships with its power train factory-integrated: N+1 UPS (1050 kVA modules), 300 kVA PDU transformers with branch-circuit monitoring, automatic and static transfer switches, and primary/secondary busway distribution at 480V 3-phase. The dual-source topology accepts utility and generator feeds; site generators are furnished at deployment.
Each server room module is cooled by six CRAH units delivering 25,500 CFM in an N+1 configuration — self-contained direct-expansion (air-cooled) with variable-frequency fan drives and hot-aisle containment. The 900 kW design point supports 96 racks at approximately 9.4 kW per rack average; higher-density configurations are addressed in the full technical package.
The deployment roadmap runs Site Ready Certificate → Transport → Assembly → Integration → Commissioning → Ready for Load. The schedule clock starts when the Site Ready Certificate is signed; permits, utility work, fiber, and crane access are buyer and site gates verified before certification. Because the units are already built and staged, the on-site schedule is measured in weeks, not the years of a ground-up build.
The as-built unit is verified at 900 kW IT across 96 rack positions (approximately 9.4 kW per rack average). For GPU-class racks, a full high-density conversion takes each unit to up to 4.8 MW IT — 96 positions at a 50 kW target. The conversion is a new basis of design with a new power train, expanded utility service, and heat-rejection changes including liquid-cooling options; engineering pathway details are in the full package.
