NVIDIA Omniverse digital twin — live state projected onto the 3D model Roadmap
MDCX is standardizing edge compute: factory-built Liquid Cooling and Immersion Cooling blocks you order as a product, not a bespoke build.
90 days ex-works · 99% prefabricated · China factory · CIOS included · 0.4–200 MW

Starting CapEx from $3M/MW of IT power — includes Tier II power distribution and outdoor heat rejection, not the container alone. Indicative only; actual price is per invoice. Model full economics in TCO.
Where do you want to start?
Space, cooling, power. Settle those three and the rest arrives in the box.
A pad, not a building — the footprint is the container.
Pad · Footprint · Clearance
Take the heat out, sized with the box — liquid or immersion.
Liquid · Immersion · Heat rejection
Grid or generation. The fence moves: UPS and battery sit inside the box, or outside on the pad.
UPS · BESS · Diesel standby
Each block pays back while the next one ships — expansion is a small step, taken on real demand. A conventional build holds the entire investment at risk until the day revenue starts.
Y: Cumulative revenue. X: Contract → First units live → Expand → Expand again.
SXM / OAM density → Liquid Cooling. PCIe fleets → Immersion Cooling. We sell the envelope — space, cooling, power. You bring the servers.
Start with L1240C45. Move to Immersion when the fleet is PCIe.
The same four steps at every site — survey, build, ship, install. 99% is prefabricated before the box leaves the factory.
Site survey and grid interface; the solution locks to a standard configuration.
99% prefabricated — integrated and tested in the factory as the unit that ships.
A 45 ft ISO container rides standard sea and road freight — no special handling. Freight is buyer-arranged.
Standard crane lift and quick-connect couplings — busway, cables, water, flanges — then commissioning.
First block: 90 days ex-works from down payment. Expansion blocks: 90 days ex-works. Freight and customs: buyer-arranged. Segments are quoted alone — never summed into one fake timeline.
First block operating with an industrial power partner in China.
Component partners: Eaton · Vertiv · Siemens · ABB · Schneider · Shell · Castrol
Components: UL / CE / CSA and applicable regional standards. Full-system certification: targeted for 2027 Roadmap.
CIOS ships with the block and runs the plant. DCM (Roadmap) is optional monetization later — not required to buy or run a block.

MDCX builds and operates modular data centers for AI compute: factory-built Liquid Cooling and Immersion Cooling blocks, with CIOS included and DCM as a Roadmap marketplace, MVP in development.
First delivery is 90 days ex-works from receipt of down payment, up to 120 days when the production line is full. Expansion blocks: 90 days ex-works. Freight and customs are buyer-arranged; MDCX does not estimate them. On-site installation and commissioning: 3–4 weeks.
L1240C45 is the alias for SKU L1240C45SUR150: a 1,240 kW Liquid Cooling container (45 ft), single loop, UPS + battery integrated inside the container, up to 150 kW per rack.
Shipped Immersion Cooling containers are I400C45 (I400C45SUT50) and I400C40 (I400C40ST50) at 400 kW IT, up to 50 kW/tank and up to 512 RTX PRO 6000 Server Edition GPUs, plus I200C20 (I200C20ST50), a 200 kW edge immersion block with 4 A32 tanks and no UPS.
CIOS is the Compute Infrastructure Operating System included with every MDCX block: path-addressed telemetry, alarms-to-tickets, ops workflows, and usage metering. Open-core Apache-2.0 at https://github.com/MDCX-ORG/CIOS.
