KAYTUS launches prefabricated gigawatt-scale AI data center factories for rapid European deployment
HAMBURG, Germany – June 25, 2026 – As the global race for artificial intelligence dominance intensifies, the primary bottleneck is no longer just algorithms or talent, but the physical infrastructure required to power them. Addressing this critical challenge, AI infrastructure provider KAYTUS unveiled at ISC 2026 a two-pronged strategy designed to redefine how Europe builds and operates its next generation of AI Factories: a gigawatt-scale, fully prefabricated containerized liquid-cooled data center solution and an intelligent management platform, KSManage Ultra, aiming to solve deployment speed, operational complexity, and energy consumption.
The insatiable demand for AI compute makes speed to market paramount. Traditional data center construction, taking 18 to 24 months, is fundamentally at odds with the rapid pace of AI development. KAYTUS's solution containerizes the entire data center into factory-built modules: an IT Cube, a Power Cube, and a Cooling Cube. This modular approach scales from a 3MW base unit up to 1GW, promising to radically shorten delivery timelines. The company claims this method can reduce deployment time by up to 60% compared to conventional builds—a figure aligned with industry trends at competitors like Schneider Electric and Vertiv. By manufacturing and pre-validating the complete system in a controlled environment, on-site integration complexity is dramatically simplified. A 3MW unit can reportedly be brought online within a month of site arrival, while a 30MW facility could be live in as little as six months.
These are not theoretical claims. KAYTUS has delivered a hundred-rack, high-density liquid-cooled AI data center for a European infrastructure firm in just four months—an 80% reduction in deployment time compared to traditional builds.
Operating an AI Factory efficiently is another challenge. Modern AI clusters operate at extreme densities, with single-rack power densities exceeding 120kW and heterogeneous hardware creating significant management complexity. Fragmented tools and manual processes are no longer viable.
KSManage Ultra addresses this by providing a unified command center for the entire AI Factory, with full-stack visibility integrating telemetry from every infrastructure layer—from in-band data from operating systems and drivers to out-of-band data from hardware logs, firmware, and physical sensors. This holistic view, spanning GPUs to nodes, racks, and the facility itself, breaks down traditional silos between IT and physical infrastructure. By correlating this data, operations move from reactive to proactive. KSManage Ultra can detect anomalies such as GPU performance degradation or cooling irregularities and trigger early alerts. The platform also automates laborious tasks like bulk node discovery and stress testing, reducing single-rack commissioning time from nearly an hour to under three minutes.
Underpinning both speed and operational intelligence is a foundational shift in cooling. The intense heat from dense GPU clusters makes traditional air cooling inefficient. Liquid cooling, once niche for supercomputers, is now a mainstream necessity. KAYTUS's IT Cube integrates 18 liquid-cooled racks, each handling up to 150kW, yielding significant environmental and economic benefits.
The superior thermal conductivity of liquid enables the system to achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) rating below 1.1. Legacy data centers achieve PUEs of 1.5 or higher, representing a massive reduction in wasted energy—nearly all electricity consumed powers compute hardware rather than cooling overhead. The prefabricated model also reduces on-site construction waste and integrates green technologies like waste heat recovery, capturing thermal energy from servers for nearby buildings or industrial processes. This focus on efficiency is particularly crucial in Europe, where stringent regulations and corporate sustainability goals drive demand for greener data center solutions.
For European enterprises and research institutions, the ability to rapidly deploy scalable, efficient, and manageable AI infrastructure is a matter of competitive survival and strategic autonomy. KAYTUS's integrated offering addresses these regional imperatives. By combining vertically integrated hardware with sophisticated management software, the company provides a turnkey solution to accelerate Europe's journey toward AI leadership.
"KAYTUS brings a differentiated combination of vertically integrated solutions and deep engineering expertise—spanning hardware, cluster infrastructure, management platforms, and code-level services," said Darren Cox, General Manager of KAYTUS Europe. "Underpinned by our 4D engineering expertise—Design, Develop, Deploy, and DC Operations—we can bring a 30MW large-scale data center live in as little as six months. We are committed to the European market for the long term and look forward to working with local ecosystem partners to help customers in cloud, research, manufacturing, and beyond build and scale their AI and HPC infrastructure efficiently and with confidence."
With over 200MW of liquid-cooled AI data center infrastructure already deployed globally across key markets, KAYTUS is leveraging its experience to empower a new wave of AI development. Its successful projects, including rapid deployment for the European infrastructure unicorn, demonstrate a proven ability to deliver on building the future of AI, one modular factory at a time.
