40ft Containerised Data Centre

The EDGE Modular 40ft Containerised Data Centre delivers enterprise-scale compute in a single ISO-freight-ready unit. Up to 8 × 48RU racks, AI-ready cooling, concurrently maintainable power  engineered in New Zealand and operational within hours of arrival on site.

From NZD $250,000. 12-16 week lead time.

WHY CFOs AND CTOs CHOOSE THIS UNIT

• AI / HPC capable: row-level or rack-level precision cooling supports high-density compute including GPU workloads, with concurrently maintainable design across critical systems.

• Eight racks, eight times the capacity: up to 8 × 48RU in a single unit means real enterprise compute capacity, not a glorified server cabinet.

• Engineered for the lifecycle: maintenance envelopes, cable supports and service penetrations designed in from day one  so the asset doesn't just operate, it stays operable.

SPECIFICATIONS

• Enclosure: Modified 40ft high-cube ISO, 50mm fire-retardant lined panels, hardened personnel access doors, C5M marine-grade preservation

• Power: Three-phase configurable to load, UPS (Li-ion or VRLA), A + B distribution, optional standby generator with on-board fuel

• Cooling: Row-level or rack-level precision, hot-aisle containment for high density, N+1 / 2N redundancy options

• Racking: Up to 8 × 48RU, tailored to workload (enterprise IT or AI / HPC)

• Security: Configurable physical access control, optional SCIF-grade compartmentation

• Fire: VESDA detection + clean-agent suppression

• Compliance: AS/NZS wiring, CSC certified, factory-acceptance tested

• Dimensions: 12.19m L × 2.44m W × 2.90m H

• Lead time: 12-16 weeks from order

• Starting price: NZD $250,000 (configuration dependent)

USE CASES

• AI / HPC compute clusters at the edge  GPU racks deployed where the data is, with rapid scaling capability

• Hyperscale-adjacent capacity bursts temporary high-density compute alongside an existing facility

• Defence and intelligence operations requiring full enterprise rack count in a deployable footprint

• Telco aggregation sites  5G core, edge compute, MEC

• Critical infrastructure operators (energy, water, transport) needing concurrently maintainable compute closer to operations

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Q: Can the 40ft unit support AI workloads?

A: Yes — power and cooling architecture supports high-density AI / HPC including liquid-assisted cooling profiles. Tailored to your rack density, GPU type and cooling preference.

Q: What's the difference between the 20ft and 40ft units?

A: Capacity. The 20ft handles up to 4 racks for departmental or edge workloads. The 40ft handles up to 8 racks of 48RU and supports higher density and concurrently maintainable architecture.

Q: How is the 40ft transported and craned into position?

A: Standard ISO 40ft freight  road, sea or rail anywhere in the Indo-Pacific. From crane-off to set-to-work is typically less than 24 hours.

Q: Is concurrently maintainable design standard?

A: Concurrently maintainable design principles are applied across all critical systems as part of the standard 40ft build. Redundancy level (N+1, 2N or higher) configured to your uptime requirement.

Q: Can I lease rather than buy outright?

A: Yes lease-to-own and short / long-term hire available. Talk to us early to structure CapEx-vs-OpEx terms to suit your accounting and project profile.
