Getworks Opens Orders For Four-Container Data Center Built For Large GPU Clusters
A vendor shipping interconnected 40-foot container units for 100 kW-plus racks signals that AI cluster builders are treating power density and water cooling as procurement problems rather than site-construction problems.
Reporting from 1 source: ASCII.jp.
Getworks has begun taking orders for a container data center that connects four 40-foot containers, with models supporting clusters of 64 air-cooled servers (512 GPUs) and 256 water-cooled servers (2,048 GPUs). The company cites demand from AI services and says each unit holds 24 to 26 racks. It will show containers at Japan IT Week Autumn, October 21 to 23 at Makuhari Messe.
The layout places 24 to 26 racks inside each container unit, and the company says a single rack in a large-scale cluster can draw over 100 kW, with AC400V rack power supply required. Getworks states that water cooling is becoming a must to handle the heat those racks produce, and that configurations of this density are difficult to fit into conventional data centers.
Getworks has announced its first container data center in 2013 and reports over 380 installations as of September 2026, counting more than 300 20-foot units and more than 80 40-foot units. Orders are open by web or email.
