A ruggedized, immersion-cooled AI compute platform integrated inside a hardened 10-foot ISO container. Data center-class GPU compute, enterprise storage, a full Cisco fabric, and private 5G, powered by hydrogen and operational within 72 hours. Anywhere the cloud is too far, too slow, or too risky, Atlas brings the data center to the workload.
Atlas in a hardened 10′ x 8′ x 8.5′ ISO container: flush roof and side radiators joined by a manifold, dual equipment doors with a hydrogen vent, ISO corner castings, and an integrated private 5G mast.
| Form Factor | Hardened 10-foot ISO shipping container, approximately 3 m x 3 m x 2.4 m |
| Transport | C-130 aircraft, CH-47 helicopter, standard flatbed truck, ISO container ship |
| Time to Operational | 72 hours from arrival, not weeks |
| Operating Environment | -40°C to +50°C ambient, 0 to 100 percent humidity, up to 15,000 ft altitude |
| Primary Power | Hydrogen PEM fuel cell, 10 kW scalable to 50 kW, NATO NSPA qualified |
| Off-Grid Runtime | Multi-day continuous operation on internal hydrogen storage, extendable with refueling or an external H2 skid |
| Alternate Power | Diesel generator, shore power, utility tie-in, with automatic source transfer |
| Cooling | Single-phase dielectric immersion; full submersion of compute and production networking |
| Connectivity | Integrated private 5G (CBRS band, 1 to 5 km range, 1,000+ devices), Wi-Fi 6E, wired WAN, optional satellite uplink |
| Acoustic Signature | Near-silent (no server fans); reduced visual and thermal signature in tactical use |
Every Atlas configuration shares a common platform: Cisco networking, VAST Data storage, private 5G, hydrogen fuel cell, and full immersion cooling. Choose the GPU tier that fits the mission.
