NEXT-GENERATION DATA CENTRES
Our data centres are located where renewable power is abundant. This energy-first strategy allows customers to operate AI compute infrastructure at substantially lower cost while maintaining industry-leading sustainability credentials.
Our facilities are purpose-built to support high-density AI and high-performance computing environments. Designs incorporate advanced cooling, high-capacity power delivery and highly efficient infrastructure required to support modern compute deployments.
Scale42 develops modular, standardised data centre facilities that provide wholesale AI-ready data centre space. Customers deploy and operate their own compute infrastructure while Scale42 delivers the secure, high-power, energy-efficient environment required to operate at scale.
Pan-Nordic Development Portfolio
Scale42 is developing a secured portfolio of AI-ready data centre campuses across the Nordic region. The platform includes 1.7GW of active development pipeline across 10 projects, with individual sites capable of supporting 50MW to 500MW+ of scalable compute infrastructure.
Projects are located across Norway, Finland, Sweden and Iceland in regions with abundant renewable power and strong fibre connectivity.
Modular AI Data Centre Design
Facilities are based on a modular design architecture enabling rapid deployment and phased expansion. Standardised 12.5MW modules combine to deliver 50MW+ campus deployments, supporting high-density computing environments with highly efficient cooling and power systems.
AI IS CHANGING DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE REQUIREMENTS
LEGACY
DATA CENTRES
HIGH OPEX & CAPEX
Legacy data centres - typically built to serve consumer facing software-as-a-service applications - lock-in high CAPEX and OPEX through a focus on:
- Low latency
- High uptime
- CPU-centric architectures
This legacy infrastructure:
- Is typically located close to urban centres - locking in high land costs
- By association is often encumbered with high energy costs, in part due to reliance on power generated by fossil fuels
- Is built with high levels of redundancy - in power and communications - with associated low levels of utilisation and high cost
All of the above contributes to data centres having a large physical footprint, further locking in both high CAPEX and OPEX.
NEXT-GENERATION DATA CENTRES
LOWER OPEX & CAPEX
Next-generation data centres by contrast - eg. built to train complex AI models - can benefit from significantly lower CAPEX & OPEX, by focusing on:
- Raw compute power
- High internal network speed for increased parallelisation
- GPU / TPU / ASIC-centric architectures
They are typically:
- Powered by low-cost, clean energy
- Co-located alongside the power generation eg. in remote locations
- Equipped with fewer redundant systems, each with higher utilisation
The high density of equipment leads to a smaller footprint, which together with out of city locations can enable dramatically lower CAPEX and OPEX vs legacy data centres
