High-Density Colocation

High-density colocation for AI, GPU and high-performance computing

Accessible nationwide from Hanover: the highest security standards, redundant infrastructure and German data protection law form the basis for your secure, future-proof IT operations.

High Density for Every Need

Maximum Power Density. Complete Security.

A single AI training rack can now draw as much power as ten conventional server racks combined. This reality presents data centers with entirely new challenges.

With High Density Colocation from GRASS-MERKUR, you can create the ideal foundation for particularly energy-intensive IT systems. Our specially designed data center infrastructure enables the secure operation of high-performance GPU clusters, HPC environments and sophisticated AI platforms — reliably, scalably and in accordance with the highest security standards.

No compromises on power supply or cooling: you will receive an infrastructure that is consistently designed for high power densities and grows in line with your requirements.

Talk to us about your specific requirements for power density, cooling and security — we will find the right solution for your workloads.

High-performance power supply

The Foundation for GPU and HPC Operations Without the Risk of Failure

The operation of modern GPU and HPC systems places the highest demands on the power supply in the data center. Our high-density areas provide the appropriate infrastructure for this:

  • High connected load per rack
  • Redundant power paths
  • Uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
  • Emergency generators
  • Continuous energy monitoring & transparent consumption measurement

This ensures your infrastructure remains stable and reliable even under heavy load — while remaining flexible enough to seamlessly integrate future generations of hardware.

Optimized Cooling for Maximum Performance

As power draw rises, heat generation grows considerably – inadequate cooling leads to performance loss and outages. Our high-density colocation relies on modern cooling concepts for high thermal loads.

Key Areas
  • Constant operating temperatures
  • Optimal airflow
  • High energy efficiency
  • Maximum hardware service life
  • Stable performance under full load

Ideal for AI and GPU Clusters

Companies are investing more and more in their own AI infrastructures for data analysis, language models and automated processes. High-density colocation offers the ideal environment for exactly that.

Key Areas
  • Training large language models (LLMs)
  • AI-supported image and video analysis
  • Predictive maintenance
  • Research and development
  • Life Sciences & Automotive

Scalability Without Limits

IT infrastructures keep evolving – today's single GPU server can be tomorrow's cluster. Our high-density solutions grow with your company.

Key Areas
  • Integrate additional racks
  • Increase connected load
  • Expand clusters & bandwidths
  • Extend storage capacity
  • No change of site required
