What Is a Modular Data Centre?

A modular data centre is built from prefabricated, self-contained modules rather than constructed on site as a single building. Each module arrives with power distribution, cooling, racks, monitoring and security already integrated, so capacity can be deployed quickly and expanded one module at a time.

Containerised data centres are the most common form. The entire facility is fitted inside a standard ISO shipping container, which means it can be moved by truck, rail or ship and installed wherever power and connectivity are available.

WinDC's modular data centres take that a step further. Every module is factory-built for high-density AI and GPU workloads and deployed directly at renewable generation sites across Australia, so compute runs on clean power that would otherwise be curtailed.

Each WinDC module is a 20- or 40-foot ISO containerised data centre delivering 100 kW to 1.8 MW of critical IT load, with configurations for GPU, CPU or mixed workloads.

Modular vs Traditional Data Centre Construction

Traditional data centres are designed to last decades in one place. Modular data centres are designed to be deployed fast, scaled in steps and moved when needs change.

Inside a WinDC Modular Data Centre

Every module is factory-built, tested and pre-configured before it leaves the factory, so it arrives ready to commission.

01

Form factor and mobility

20- or 40-foot ISO containerised data centres with dense rack configurations for GPU, CPU or mixed infrastructure. Modules are engineered for intermodal transport, with vibration and shock protection, and can be redeployed fully loaded.

02

Power and cooling

Advanced liquid cooling for high-density GPU clusters, N+1 redundancy for power and cooling, energy storage integration and load shedding for grid participation.

03

Hardware-agnostic platform

Support for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, enterprise servers and networking, with compatibility for Azure Local and edge platforms. Whatever your stack looks like, WinDC supports it.

04

Connectivity and security

Enterprise-grade Starlink, 5G and fibre where available, with traffic bonding and QoS management. Zero-trust network architecture, full audit trails and MFA come as standard.

05

Fleet management and monitoring

A central command module provides orchestration, observability and AI-driven predictive maintenance, backed by IIoT telemetry, 24/7 monitoring and SLA-governed service levels.

How a Modular Deployment Works

Because the data centre is built in a factory rather than on site, the slowest parts of a traditional build disappear.

01 Site assessment

We identify solar, wind and hydro generation sites with stranded or curtailed power, with access to 6.5GW+ of renewable capacity across Australia.

02 Factory build

Modules are prefabricated and pre-configured for your workload, including racks, cooling, power systems and fleet management, while the site is prepared.

03 Delivery and commissioning

Modules are delivered and connected behind the meter, taking a deployment from site assessment to live compute in approximately 90 days.

04 Scale or relocate

Add modules as demand grows, or move them by truck, rail or ship if your requirements change or a better renewable site becomes available.

Why Build at the Source of Renewable Power

Placing modular data centres where renewable energy is generated changes the economics of compute.

01

Behind-the-meter economics

Drawing power directly at the generation site avoids transmission losses and grid charges, which dramatically lowers the cost per GPU-hour.

02

No grid congestion

Deployments bypass congested urban grids and metropolitan data centre regions, removing the longest delays in traditional builds.

03

Clean energy that would otherwise be wasted

Australia curtails billions of dollars of renewable generation every year. Modular data centres turn that stranded energy into productive compute.

04

Verified zero-emission compute

Every module generates Grokens, audit-ready attestations that map compute usage to time-matched renewable energy for compliance-grade reporting.

Modular Data Centre FAQs

What is a modular data centre?

A modular data centre is a data centre built from prefabricated modules, each with its own power, cooling, racks and monitoring. Modules are manufactured in a factory and installed on site, so capacity can be deployed far faster than a traditional build and expanded one module at a time.

What is the difference between a modular and a containerised data centre?

A containerised data centre is a type of modular data centre built inside a standard ISO shipping container. WinDC modules are 20- or 40-foot ISO containerised data centres, which makes them portable by truck, rail or ship.

How quickly can a modular data centre be deployed?

WinDC modules are factory-built and pre-configured before delivery, so a deployment can go from site assessment to live compute in approximately 90 days, compared with 2–5 years for conventional data centre construction.

How much does a modular data centre cost?

Cost depends on the capacity, hardware and site. Because WinDC modules avoid grid upgrades and large upfront construction, and run on behind-the-meter renewable power, the model is designed to deliver up to 50% lower total cost of ownership. Contact us for a quote based on your requirements.

Can modular data centres run AI and GPU workloads?

Yes. WinDC modules are built for high-density AI workloads, with liquid cooling for GPU clusters and support for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, enterprise servers and CPU configurations.

Are WinDC modular data centres portable?

Yes. Modules are engineered for intermodal transport with vibration and shock protection, and can be redeployed fully loaded to a new site if requirements change.

Where are WinDC modular data centres located in Australia?

WinDC deploys at solar, wind and hydro generation sites across Australia with stranded or curtailed power, with access to 6.5GW+ of renewable capacity. Get in touch to discuss locations that suit your workloads.

Are WinDC modular data centres powered by renewable energy?

Yes. Every module runs on 100% renewable power drawn behind the meter at the generation site, with zero Scope 2 emissions verified by Grokens.
