As high performance computing (HPC) is set to become essential for every enterprise, Kontena introduces the KONNECT ecosystem: a scalable and modular approach to HPC. Our ecosystem offers a range of modular components to kickstart high performance computing operations, regardless of location.
To compete in the High Performance Computing and AI market, redundancy, scalability and flexibility are required. We offer a data center alternative that leverages top-tier components and intelligent modular engineering to reduce costs, speed up deployment, and enhance scalability.
Our Ecosystem offers a diverse range of modular components to kickstart any High Performance Computing operation, no matter the location. From power supply and data rooms to different options in cooling solutions. Utilizing top-tier components and intelligent modular engineering, we present a data center alternative that cuts costs, accelerates deployment and improves scalability.
EDGE
At the heart of our KONNECT ecosystem stands the EDGE container, the HPC data room whitespace. Serving as the central hub, it links up to power, cooling and network resources.
Discover all the details »ICE
The KONNECT ICE is a plug-and-play containerized cooling unit that seamlessly integrates with the EDGE HPC data room. It consists of an adiabatic dry cooler and pump skid. For hot climates, the cooling capacity can be upgraded with an integrated chiller.
Discover all the details »HX
The KONNECT HX is a fully customizable liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger (HX), housed within either an open or closed container frame. It’s engineered from the ground up to align with the specific requirements of your application. Integrated with the primary cooling system, it ensures consistent internal temperatures in the data room, while efficiently extracting excess heat for reuse within any given system. The HX reduces power consumption on the primary cooling unit, improving the system PUE.
Discover all the details »POWER
The UPS container ensures uninterrupted uptime and safeguards the equipment by maintaining proper power quality. Housed in a 20ft ISO container, for example, it can deliver up to 1500kW of power from the batteries. Different battery sizes are available for your project’s specific needs.
Discover all the details »TRAFO
A tailored containerized solution to connect to any medium voltage electrical grid. It includes switching gear for both the low voltage and high voltage side as well as of course the transformer (TX). Skilled technicians and engineers can take care of all required connections, commissioning and total activation, if so desired. When faced with an emergency, a back-up fleet is available to reduce any downtime.
Discover all the details »GENSET
Our gensets are selected to match site integration, compliance with local regulations, combustion type (diesel, hydrogen), preferred brands. Combined with our UPS container, the entire system is engineered for effortless installation and operation.
Discover all the details »Up to 4 times lower CAPEX compared to traditional data center solutions.
Essentially building blocks, all units within the ecosystem are compatible. Plug-and-play at its finest.
Reduce your CAPEX. Scale your operations later on as your business grows.
Rack densities up to 80kW. Even higher densities are available with liquid-to-chip cooling.
Lease both the hardware and infrastructure. You can completely eliminate upfront costs, paying only when the installation is in use.
Move to a better environment, change out or upgrade, or even sell when the need arises. It has never been this simple.
Designed to combine the advantages of our modular and flexible units with the scale of a large brick-and-mortar type data center. Enter and exit the data rooms without being exposed to the open air. Protect the equipment you need to move around from the elements. Provide more granular access control to your staff and customers. It can serve bigger projects at the start or those with substantial growth potential over time.

Enabling seamless maintenance activities without impacting operational continuity. This approach ensures that critical systems can be serviced independently, minimizing the risk of downtime and optimizing overall reliability.
Our data center architecture centers around redundancy, providing backup systems for uninterrupted operations. This strategy enhances system reliability, mitigates risks, and ensures continuity of critical services.
Fire and safety is prioritized, implementing advanced systems for equipment and personnel protection. Rigorous safety protocols and cutting-edge technologies contribute to a secure environment, giving you peace of mind for your valuable assets.
Lease the hardware and KONNECT infrastructure on a 3 year lease. Including a pre-financing option, you can completely eliminate upfront costs, paying only when the installation is in use.

Even with efficient hardware, running costs of an HPC installation can be significant. Each dollar cent you can cut on your electricity tariff will provide an annual saving of up to $45000 on a Megawatt. We can help you source green energy where it is cheap.
With efficient cooling, you avoid overspending on electricity.. With a tailored KONNECT cooling unit, you can run your HPC operation with PUEs as low as 1.06 with ease. Boost this even further with heat reuse through an HX unit.
