Enclosure-led architecture
for private AI compute deployment.
The AIZ technology platform is built around a modular enclosure architecture that concentrates rack space, thermal control, insulation, monitoring, and panel-side interfaces into one deployment unit. Beyond GPU-led deployments, the architecture provides a defined adaptation path for next-generation inference servers using NPU, FPGA, and ASIC accelerators.
One enclosure, with deployment interfaces designed in from the start.
Infrastructure adaptation for the next generation of inference servers.
Inference infrastructure is moving beyond a single accelerator model. AIZ is extending its enclosure-led approach to support the engineering adaptation of servers built around GPUs, NPUs, FPGAs, and purpose-built ASICs, so emerging platforms can be assessed against a repeatable physical deployment framework.

Each server platform is reviewed for rack geometry, power delivery, thermal envelope, airflow or liquid-cooling requirements, network topology, service access, monitoring, and operating conditions. References to NPU, FPGA, and ASIC systems describe an engineering pathway, not universal or pre-validated compatibility with every vendor platform.
AIZ Air Node
The Air Node represents AIZ's air-cooled enclosure architecture for workloads that suit a controlled airflow approach. Phase 1 simulation work has been completed, and the current focus is prototype validation, engineering documentation, and preparation for commercialisation.
Public reference classes for the Air Node currently align with air-cooled GPU deployment scenarios such as A100, H100, H200, and L40S-style platforms, subject to final engineering scope.
| Workload class | Power band | Cooling posture | Current use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mid-density accelerator class | ~300W to ~400W | Air-cooled enclosure study | Reference boundary for lower-density deployments |
| High-density accelerator class | ~600W to ~700W | Airflow-controlled evaluation | Phase 1 simulation and validation boundary |
| Crossover thermal class | ~700W | Air or liquid pathway review | Used for boundary-case thermal assessment |
| PCIe deployment class | ~300W to ~350W | Air-cooled reference scenario | Representative commercial inference profile |
Reference classes on this page are engineering communication aids, not a published compatibility list or purchase specification. Final platform fit depends on validated thermal envelope, rack design, and operating conditions.

AIZ Thermal Node
The Thermal Node reflects AIZ's liquid-thermal architecture direction for denser workload profiles. It remains in planning and is intended to guide future work on dielectric heat management, enclosure compatibility, and heat-transfer pathways where air-cooling may not be the optimal long-term fit.
Public reference classes for the Thermal Node are limited to Phase 2 planning scenarios, including future H200 liquid-cooled and GB-series-type configurations. These references should not be read as an implemented order-ready product matrix.
| Thermal class | Power band | Cooling posture | Current use |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-density liquid review class | ~700W | Liquid-thermal planning path | Reference point for Phase 2 evaluation |
| Ultra-high-density review class | ~1000W | Planned future thermal study | Planning only R&D |
Reference classes on this page are planning aids for thermal direction only. They do not represent an implemented product compatibility matrix or immediate order configuration.

What is an Air Node?
The Air Node is AIZ's current air-cooled modular compute enclosure path. It is aimed at controlled airflow deployments, has completed simulation work, and is now moving through validation and commercial preparation.
What is a Thermal Node?
The Thermal Node is AIZ's planning-stage liquid-thermal architecture. It is a Phase 2 roadmap direction for higher-density scenarios and should not be understood as an implemented product line today.
What does PUE below 1.19 mean here?
It is a public engineering target for the Air Node pathway, not a universal promise. Final performance depends on workload profile, configuration, validation scope, and site operating conditions.
Who is the current platform best suited for?
The current platform is most relevant for organisations evaluating private AI infrastructure in industrial, warehouse, commercial, or regional contexts where conventional data-centre buildouts are too slow or site-constrained.
Common questions about the AIZ technology approach.
What does AIZ build?
AIZ designs modular AI infrastructure centred on enclosure-led compute deployments, including thermal management strategy, power and network interface planning, monitoring, and repeatable site integration.
What environments are these systems intended for?
AIZ evaluates industrial, commercial, warehouse, and regional environments where private AI infrastructure may be better served by modular enclosure deployment than by a conventional facility buildout.
What GPU platforms can AIZ be configured around?
AIZ's Air Node pathway is aligned with air-cooled GPU deployment classes such as A100, H100, H200, and L40S-style platforms, subject to final engineering scope. The Thermal Node pathway is the planned Phase 2 direction for liquid-cooled or higher thermal-density platform classes, including future H200 liquid-cooled and GB-series-type configurations, and is not yet implemented.
Can AIZ adapt infrastructure for NPU, FPGA, or ASIC inference servers?
AIZ is developing an engineering adaptation pathway for next-generation inference servers using NPU, FPGA, and ASIC accelerators. Each platform requires validation of rack fit, power delivery, thermal envelope, network interfaces, service access, and operating conditions; this is not a blanket compatibility claim.
How should the Air Node and Thermal Node be understood?
The Air Node represents AIZ's air-cooled deployment architecture with simulation completed and commercial preparation underway. The Thermal Node represents a liquid-thermal pathway that remains in planning for denser operating scenarios.
What is the difference between the Air Node and the Thermal Node?
The Air Node is AIZ's current air-cooled architecture path and represents the present Phase 1 commercialisation track. The Thermal Node refers to a denser liquid-thermal direction that remains in planning as a Phase 2 roadmap path.
What do indicative PUE targets mean in the AIZ context?
Indicative PUE targets are public engineering reference points, not universal guarantees. They describe the efficiency range AIZ is aiming to validate under defined assumptions, while actual outcomes depend on workload, configuration, validation scope, and site operating conditions.
Are PUE figures universal guarantees?
No. Any performance figure depends on configuration, validation status, and real deployment conditions. Final commercial discussions should confirm the engineering basis, operating envelope, and site assumptions for a specific deployment.
Performance targets on this page are part of AIZ's engineering and validation process. Final deployment outcomes depend on configuration, validation scope, and the operating conditions of each site.
