London-headquartered Deep Green has announced AI-ready colocation capacity at its Urmston facility in Manchester that can be deployed within four weeks.

The company states this is among the fastest infrastructure deployments for artificial intelligence currently available in the UK. The site provides sovereign, UK-based capacity intended for high-density AI and high-performance computing workloads.

The modular architecture of the facility is designed to address infrastructure barriers such as power availability and planning delays that often result in multi-year wait times for new capacity. The Urmston site is built for modern workloads, supporting rack densities of up to 150kW.

The infrastructure operates with a Power Usage Effectiveness of less than 1.2, which the company indicates is more efficient than many conventional data centres. This efficiency and high-density capability are intended to help organisations manage demanding workloads with predictable performance and reduced operating costs.

Mark Lee, CEO of Deep Green, said: “The conversations we’re having with customers are remarkably consistent. They don’t have a software problem or even a GPU problem. They have an infrastructure problem.

“Organisations need somewhere to run AI workloads today, not in two or three years’ time. Our Manchester site allows organisations to deploy high-density AI racks in weeks, and while capacity is filling rapidly, we still have space available for those looking for sovereign UK compute available now.”

The facility also features a design that captures waste heat generated by the computing equipment. This heat is repurposed locally for use by nearby buildings and community facilities, reducing the environmental impact of the high-performance computing operations.
