Custom-Engineered E-House and M-House Modules for Bespoke Data Center Requirements.

A Modular Approach to High-Performance Computing

The KONNECT HPC ecosystem is built around the AI/HPC Whitespace. To provide the internal IT infrastructure with premium power and cooling, the E-House and M-House are vital components. The E-House serves as the robust electrical foundation, delivering high-amperage distribution with surgical precision, while the M-House acts as the mechanical engine, housing the advanced CDU capacity required for next-generation liquid cooling. Together, they represent a smarter, faster, and more professional approach to scaling AI capacity.

Bespoke Engineering for Modern Density

Because modern AI requirements are increasingly diverse, the KONNECT ecosystem is defined by its ability to be project-specific. We designed a new E-House and M-House, engineered to provide the exact conditions required for bespoke client equipment.

A recent project perfectly illustrates this engineering-led approach. When a client required doubled cooling capacity within a strictly restricted site footprint, we moved beyond the standard single-CDU configuration. To meet these high-density demands, we developed a custom E-House specifically engineered to house two CDUs (Coolant Distribution Units).

Optimising Vertical Integration

To overcome the limitations of the facility’s floorspace, our solution was to “look up” rather than “out.” We transitioned to a vertical deployment, stacking the newly designed E-House and M-House directly atop the Whitespace units. This vertical synergy achieved a dual victory: we preserved valuable real estate while significantly shortening utility runs for maximum efficiency.

Working in perfect harmony, these modules create a turnkey power-to-cooling bridge that adapts to the project, rather than forcing the project to adapt to the infrastructure. This is the strenght of the KONNECT ecosystem: modular, scalable, and perfectly tailored to the demands of next-generation AI.

This deployment consists of five HPC Whitespace Units, engineered to handle intensive AI and supercomputing workloads. The infrastructure is defined by a “stacked” modular approach where electrical and mechanical modules are placed directly on top of the Whitespace units. This vertical integration not only optimizes floor usage but also ensures the shortest possible paths for cabling and cooling inlets/outlets.

Key Infrastructure Components

• 5 x HPC Whitespace Units: The core data rooms housing IT racks equipped with Rear Door Heat Exchangers (RDHx), active fire detection, and redundant A+B busbar electrical distribution.

• 2 x E-House Modules (E-House): These units provide surgical power precision and uninterrupted uptime. They house the UPS systems, battery storage, and MCC switchboards, safeguarding equipment and bridging the gap until emergency generators take over.

• 2 x M-House Modules (M-House): The mechanical engine of the site, managing stable temperatures via a closed-circuit cooling system. These units interface with the RDHx doors and dry coolers to maintain optimal thermal conditions.

• 2 x MMR (Meet-Me-Room) Modules: Serving as the central gateway for all internal and external connectivity, these modules house the physical cross-connects between internet service providers (ISPs) and the internal network.
