As the largest and fastest-growing supplier of innovative power solutions for hyperscale data centres and AI infrastructure in the UK and Europe, AVK further strengthens its position as a full energy partner for data centre operators with the launch of PowerPods.
Based on years of AVK’s experience in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), standby power, prime power, controls and service, the new PowerPods consolidate critical electrical infrastructure – such as UPS, engines, switchgear, controls, enclosures and transformers – into one fully-integrated, pre-engineered and transportable unit. Each unit arrives ready to connect and deploy.
With PowerPods, AVK’s end-to-end power train is now fully realised, offering data centre operators a single, trusted partner for every stage of their energy infrastructure. Unlike many power solution providers who specialise in individual components, AVK is uniquely positioned to design, deliver and support the entire data centre power ecosystem, from generation through to distribution and maintenance.
AVK developed the PowerPods against the backdrop of rapidly accelerating demand for digital infrastructure, with hyperscale operators requiring large-scale power that can be deployed quickly and with resilience. The PowerPods’ completely integrated design delivers on this and means that data centre operators can benefit from reduced complexity and disruption as well as simpler delivery of a solution that meets their needs precisely from day one.
Capable of being delivered as bespoke units to meet the application-specific requirements of individual customers, PowerPods feature true technology-agnostic flexibility, which means customers are not locked into a single solution. This level of adaptability is a key reason large data centre operators will continue to choose AVK.
Because they are optimised for growth and designed for modularity and scale, PowerPods can be used by data centre operators on existing projects in a way that enables them to deploy power flexibly, not only ensuring bespoke electrical infrastructure for each data centre but also facilitating rapid expansion and improving capital efficiency.
PowerPods are available for deployment today to ensure customers benefit from short lead times and fast-track delivery.
A key factor that sets PowerPods apart in the sector is the depth of AVK’s expertise and knowledge in critical power embedded into design, having built up a trustworthy background in UPS more than 36 years ago.
Says Ben Pritchard, our CEO at AVK: “The launch of the AVK PowerPods reinforces our position as one of the few businesses capable of designing, delivering and supporting the entire data centre power ecosystem – at scale, with true flexibility and with the engineering depth that critical infrastructure demands. Large data centres need partners who genuinely understand the full energy picture and we now own the full power train.”
He continues: “PowerPods complete our proposition to the market. They bring together our extensive critical power expertise with our technology-agnostic model to deliver a complete power train solution that makes us a reliable, long-term energy partner for data centre operators. With our ready-to-deploy PowerPods model, we are perfectly positioned to support the next wave of hyperscale data centres and AI infrastructure.”
