Cutting-Edge AI-Ready Data Centres

VIRTUS is the home of AI Ready centres in Europe

VIRTUS’ AI Ready data centres are designed from the very outset to support the unique requirements of AI workloads. With over a decade’s experience designing and operating the UK’s most innovative, efficient and flexible facilities, VIRTUS also has a proven track record in providing state of the art AI data centre solutions from 2020, easily supporting deployments up to 100kW+ per rack at scale.

VIRTUS’ AI Ready Data Centres are specifically designed to support the high performance computing demands of artificial intelligence workloads. Our reliable, resilient and responsible data centres are built for scale, have access to truly renewable power, and enable multiple cooling technologies to deployed within the same networking environment.

What is an AI Ready Data Centre?

Structurally ready to accommodate heavier and more powerful racks

Advanced cooling technologies including immersive and direct to chip cooling

Access to vast amounts of truly green power

Flexibility to design and customise data centre space to suit

Advanced Cooling Technologies

Hover over / tap hotspots to learn about our technologies.

Air Cooling

Air Cooling forms the backbone of VIRTUS’ data
centres. As standard, our facilities use ‘air flooded
room’ principle. This system utilises Hot Aisle
Containment and is capable of cooling racks of up
to 80kW.

Direct to Chip

Using our smart Coolant Distribution Units (CDU),
our data centres are ready to accept direct to
chip cooling. This system offers customers
huge thermal efficiency.

Direct to Chip and Air Cooling

The VIRTUS Advantage is its flexibility. Both Direct
to Chip and Air Cooling can be utilised within the
same workload, keeping AI & HPC workloads
contiguous to the network racks supporting them.

Immersion cooled servers

With strengthened flooring and leading Coolant
Distribution Unit technology, VIRTUS’ facilities are
built to easily support Immersion cooled servers.

Liquid & Immersive Cooling

VIRTUS has been designing and operating advanced liquid and immersive cooling solutions with cutting edge technology since 2021, working in a collaborative approach with all customers to support AI. VIRTUS’ agile design even allows HPC and traditional networking IT equipment to be in the same room at very close proximity.

Our AI data centre solutions are designed to support large Generative AI workloads that are latency sensitive, and our future data centre portfolio across Europe are being designed leveraging this experience and technology at scale.

Renewable Energy Data Centres

VIRTUS is the UK’s largest data centre provider powered by purely renewable energy. We design, build, and run our data centres to the highest possible standards, and have achieved ISO Certification for Energy Usage, Quality Management, Environmental Governance, Data Centre KPIs & Infrastructure, IT, and Data Centre Security.
