GPU Colocation and AI Compute Infrastructure

An energy-first campus is only half the answer. Greco brings the other half inside: turnkey, NVIDIA-accelerated AI compute built on the Dell AI Factory — racked, liquid-cooled and powered by the campus it sits in. Capacity that is already energized and already populated with current-generation accelerators.

Power and Compute as One Asset

Most operators hand you empty racks and a multi-year wait for power. Greco delivers both. We build the campus, generate the power behind the meter, engineer the liquid cooling, and bring NVIDIA-accelerated compute in on top — integrated as a single asset.

We procure and deploy through the Dell AI Factory. That means the same validated Dell PowerEdge XE-series and NVIDIA platforms the hyperscalers run, specified to the workload and installed in a building that already has its own power and cooling — instead of waiting in an interconnection queue for a substation that hasn’t been built.

The Platform We Deploy

Built on the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA — the proven, validated toolchain, specified per campus.

Dell PowerEdge XE9785 / XE9785L

Dense GPU servers in air-cooled (XE9785) and direct-to-chip liquid-cooled (XE9785L) configurations — the workhorse of the Dell AI Factory.

Dell Integrated Rack IR7000

The liquid-cooled systems arrive as a rack-scale solution — power, cooling manifolds and compute integrated and factory-validated.

NVIDIA HGX B300 — Blackwell Ultra

Eight-GPU NVL8 nodes built on NVIDIA’s current-generation accelerators, paired with high-core AMD EPYC CPUs, terabyte-class DDR5 and NVMe.

NVIDIA ConnectX-7 400G fabric

Four-hundred-gigabit networking so clusters scale as one machine — the east-west fabric AI training and inference demand.

Configurations track Dell’s published PowerEdge XE line and NVIDIA’s reference designs; each deployment is specified to the tenant’s workload and density.

Engineered for Liquid Cooling — and Heat You Can Sell

The liquid-cooled XE9785L / IR7000 line is where Greco’s energy-first model compounds. The heat these accelerators produce is captured at 50 °C and exported to a neighbourhood energy utility. Most data centres pay to vent that heat; a Greco campus turns it into a revenue stream and a community benefit.

GPU colocation, without the power problem

If you are shopping for GPU colocation, you already know the constraint is not rack space.

Conventional colocation was built for 5–10 kW racks. An eight-GPU Blackwell Ultra node draws roughly 10 kW on its own, so a single modern AI rack can want more power than a traditional facility allocated to an entire row. That is why operators shopping for GPU colocation keep hearing the same answer: space is available, power is not, and the facility's own utility connection is the thing standing in the way.

GRECO campuses generate behind the meter, so the capacity on offer is not contingent on a substation upgrade or a place in an interconnection queue. Halls are engineered for direct-to-chip liquid cooling from the outset rather than retrofitted around air-cooled assumptions, at the 600 kW to 1 MW rack class.

The commercial difference is worth stating plainly: most colocation providers resell grid power and pass through demand charges. Here the power is generated on site and the waste heat is sold into district energy, which is a materially different cost structure — and the reason capacity can be offered against a schedule rather than a queue position.

Deployments run from single racks of Dell PowerEdge XE-series hardware through to multi-megawatt halls, either as colocation you populate yourself or as fully managed capacity where GRECO specifies, racks, commissions and operates the fleet. If you would rather take the building and fit out the interior yourself, that is a powered shell.

Can a standard colocation rack support 50 kW of GPUs?

Not every facility can. A rack's physical space does not establish its usable power or cooling capacity. A 50 kW GPU deployment needs an assessment of the specific hall, electrical allocation and server cooling requirements; a facility-wide megawatt figure is not a per-rack commitment.

  • Power: confirm the continuous capacity allocated to the rack, compatible distribution and the capacity available under the agreed redundancy design.
  • Cooling: check the server manufacturer's airflow or liquid-cooling requirements against the hall's heat-removal capacity and, where needed, its coolant distribution infrastructure.
  • Space and access: verify rack dimensions, equipment weight, floor loading and the delivery path before planning the installation.
  • Connectivity: include the network fabric, storage access and cabling layout in the deployment plan.

Planning single-rack GPU colocation

Start with the exact server configuration, workload, rack power budget and cooling method. Then compare facility readiness and the scope of operations: hardware ownership, installation, monitoring and support. Capacity, location and delivery dates need site-specific confirmation.

From Grid to Token, One Owner

Every other provider owns a slice. Greco owns the whole column.

01

Behind-the-meter power

On-site generation + storage energize the campus years before a grid connection would.

02

Direct-to-chip liquid cooling

The liquid-cooled IR7000 racks are engineered into the energy plant, not bolted on after.

03

NVIDIA-accelerated compute

Dell PowerEdge XE-series with NVIDIA HGX B300 — racked, networked and ready to run.

04

Heat exported, not vented

The heat those GPUs produce is captured at 50 °C and sold into district energy.

De-risked in the twin before it’s racked

We model the rack layout, power distribution and cooling for these exact systems in a physics-based digital twin before anything is installed — so density, thermal behaviour and floor loading are validated at the design stage, not discovered on site.

Compare GPU colocation facilities on the same requirements

For a single AI rack or a larger cluster, compare the exact hall and service scope. A facility's total capacity or cooling description is not a commitment for your deployment.

Location and delivery state

Identify the deployment location, access requirements and commissioning date. Distinguish available capacity from a planned build or expansion.

Minimum commitment and rack power

Compare minimum rack or power commitments, contracted usable kW, redundancy, metering and expansion rights. Use the same term and power assumptions.

Cooling responsibilities

Document who supplies and maintains the CDU, manifolds, facility water and heat rejection. Validate operating conditions against the selected server design.

Network and remote hands

Confirm carriers, cross-connects, bandwidth, response windows and remote-hands scope. Separate included service from metered or additional charges.

AI compute capacity: common questions

Liquid carries roughly a thousand times more heat per unit volume than air, which is why racks above about 50 kW cannot be cooled by air at any sensible cost. Direct-to-chip cooling pipes coolant to cold plates on the processors; immersion submerges whole boards in dielectric fluid. Modern AI racks running 600 kW to 1 MW leave no practical alternative.

Facilities are architected for the 600 kW to 1 MW class rather than retrofitted toward it, with direct-to-chip and immersion cooling and 800 VDC power distribution designed in from the start. Building for that envelope from day one avoids the stranded-capacity problem that afflicts air-cooled halls converted late in life.

A powered shell is the building delivered powered, cooled and ready, where the tenant brings their own racks and hardware. Leasing capacity means GRECO fits it out and the tenant offtakes by the kilowatt. Powered shell suits operators with their own hardware standards; capacity suits those who want to skip the build entirely.

Because it keeps the heat concentrated and at a useful temperature. Liquid returns from the chips at 45–48 °C, high enough for plate heat exchangers to lift it to 50 °C for district energy. Air cooling disperses the same energy into a large volume of warm air that is not worth capturing, which is why heat export and liquid cooling are effectively one decision.

That is the point of the model. Because GRECO generates power on-site behind the meter, campus capacity does not depend on a new utility interconnection, so an offtaker leases finished powered capacity in months rather than holding a shell through a five-to-seven-year queue.

GPU colocation is rack space and power sold specifically for accelerated compute, and the difference is entirely about density. Conventional colocation was designed around 5–10 kW racks with air cooling. A single eight-GPU Blackwell Ultra node draws roughly 10 kW by itself, so AI racks land in the 40 kW to 1 MW range and need liquid cooling, higher-capacity distribution and a facility whose power supply can actually grow. Most providers can offer the space long before they can offer the power.

Either. You can bring your own hardware into powered, liquid-cooled capacity, or GRECO can specify, procure, rack, commission and operate the fleet as a managed service — including the Dell PowerEdge XE-series line as a Dell managed service provider. The distinction that matters more than the hardware is that the power is generated on site rather than resold from the grid.
