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.
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.
