Imagine you have a fully populated data center with 20MW of commissioned power, yet your critical IT load is only 10MW. You have no floor space available, but have highly coveted UPS and Generator backed power that clients want to buy. You’re not alone. Stranded power is a common dilemma in the colocation industry.
Case Study
Harvesting Stranded Capacity with Modular Solutions
Real Use Case Example

Real Expertise, Real Stories.
Stranded power is essentially stranded revenue. And it can be high margin revenue, but only if you can extract it from your electrical infrastructure and deliver it in usable form to your clients. Until you have a way to do this, a large chunk of your data center investment is wasted because you cannot generate revenue from the entire 20MW. To solve this problem, Compu Dynamics has developed flexible and scalable modular solutions that seamlessly expand your existing data center, enabling you to harvest that stranded power. We can design and build a solution to fit any requirement on virtually any site, using either traditional construction methods or a factory-built, field-assembled modular approach. Our modular data center solutions are also ideal for edge requirements, AI / HPC labs, and on-premises government facilities. We can provide secure, purposebuilt, modular data centers from 1MW to 10MW from design to commissioning under accelerated schedules. Unlike traditional data centers, our approach allows you to precisely control power density, cooling method, and every aspect of the IT environment to match your exact specifications.

Real Use Case Example
Customer Challenge
10+ year old data center in one of the top markets, with 20MW of commissioned power. Fully leased white space with low-density compute, absorbing only 10MW of critical power.
Solution
Compu Dynamics designed a two-story, high density, low-PUE modular expansion to the facility. This solution offers revenue-generating space with 2 MW of critical power and the option to deliver liquid cooling in the future. The design ensured that no electrical system is ever taxed beyond 80% of design.
Result
The customer can increase revenue significantly, with most of the added revenue going straight to the bottom line.
