Distributed infrastructure / Factory built
GridNode™
Computing infrastructure placed closer to demand—integrating compute, power, cooling, networking, and building systems into one modular platform.
Concept in developmentDistributed by design
Capacity without one massive center.
A micro data center is a compact facility containing computing equipment together with the power, cooling, and networking systems required to operate it.
Instead of concentrating enormous computing capacity in one location, distributed micro data centers can be installed across smaller sites and connected to form a larger network.
A large amount of infrastructure in one location.
Smaller facilities connected across more locations.
The GridNode platform
Build the compute module where the factory has control.
GridNode adapts ReMo’s manufacturing platform and integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing expertise to coordinate the physical infrastructure around computing as one product—then deploy it where the capacity will operate.
Why rethink the traditional data center?
Conventional expansion can demand extensive land, grid capacity, water, and development time. GridNode is being developed as a smaller alternative that can add computing capacity incrementally and closer to demand.
Smaller physical footprint
A compact platform intended for sites that would not accommodate a conventional data center.
Integrated energy strategy
On-site generation, storage, and energy management designed as part of the deployment.
Advanced cooling approach
A platform being developed to reduce cooling energy and water consumption relative to conventional expansion.
Factory-built deployment
Repeatable off-site production intended to reduce field complexity and shorten deployment time.
Closer to where capacity is needed
Built for sites conventional data centers overlook.
Small businesses
Housing developments
Research facilities
Community institutions
Underused commercial sites
GridNode is being designed for residential, community, institutional, and small commercial settings—allowing computing infrastructure and renewable-energy systems to be deployed together, closer to the people and organizations using them.
Potential applications
Local capacity. Many missions.
Compute, power, cooling, and storage—coordinated.
GridNode is being designed to integrate on-site solar generation, battery storage, advanced cooling, and energy-management systems within a factory-built platform.
The goal is to generate and store a substantial portion of required energy at the deployment site, minimizing demand on the local electrical grid.
Depending on site conditions, renewable-energy capacity, and computing workload, future GridNode systems could be configured to draw little to no net energy from the grid. Actual performance will vary by deployment.
A more responsive load
The node can respond to the system around it.
The GridNode architecture is being explored as more than a box that consumes electricity. Its integrated controls could coordinate computing activity with local energy availability and grid conditions.
Workload-aware operation
Where applications permit, flexible computing activity could be shifted or reduced during periods of grid stress.
Local generation and storage
Solar, batteries, and energy-management systems could supply and shape a larger share of the site’s energy needs.
Coordinated signals
Future systems could be designed to respond to operating constraints, energy availability, and applicable utility or market programs.
A new infrastructure model
Add capacity where it creates the most value.
GridNode is being developed to bring secure, localized computing capacity to more places through a compact, integrated, factory-built platform.
