A Strategic Alliance to Confront the AI Infrastructure Crisis
A new partnership aims to redefine the physical backbone of artificial intelligence. ServerDomes, a designer of nature-inspired data center architecture, has entered into an exclusive global agreement with Global Green Generation, an engineering and construction firm specializing in high-efficiency facilities. The collaboration is focused on delivering a new class of data centers engineered specifically for the unprecedented demands of generative AI and high-performance computing.
The alliance was formally announced at the Data Centres Ireland event, where executives from both firms presented a detailed scale model of a proposed hybrid facility. The partnership will initially focus on deployments across North America and Europe, with plans for global expansion.
The Inadequacy of Legacy Infrastructure
The driving force behind the collaboration is a shared assessment of a looming crisis. Industry projections suggest computational demands for AI are doubling every seven months, a growth trajectory that existing data center infrastructure is fundamentally ill-equipped to support.
“The industry is facing a paradigm shift,” stated David Keegan, President & Group CEO of Global Green Generation. “We are now discussing chip racks that consume one to two megawatts of power. The physics of air cooling break down at that density; you simply cannot move enough air through a conventional building to manage that thermal load.”
Traditional data centers also face intensifying external pressures, including severe constraints on electrical grid capacity, prolonged delays in securing power allocations, and growing scrutiny over water usage for cooling. Local community opposition to large, resource-intensive “big box” facilities is another frequent hurdle to deployment.
The Technical Response: Hybrid Cooling and Radical Efficiency
The partnership’s proposed solution centers on ServerDomes’ geodesic design and a philosophy of extreme resource efficiency. The companies claim their co-developed facilities will address the core constraints facing the industry.
Core Performance Claims
The design’s advantages are quantified in several key metrics. The partners assert the facilities will use approximately 93% less water for cooling than typical data centers, citing an expected rate of 0.14 liters per kilowatt-hour versus an industry average of 3-5 liters. They also project a 27% reduction in overall power consumption. From a spatial perspective, the design aims to fit between 5 and 25 megawatts of capacity on a single acre of land.
The Physics of the Dome
The distinctive geodesic structure is selected for functional, not aesthetic, reasons. The architecture leverages natural convection; heat generated by IT equipment rises naturally toward the apex of the dome, where it can be efficiently evacuated or captured for reuse. This reduces reliance on energy-intensive mechanical fans. The design also purportedly offers advantages in managing environmental factors like snow loads and wind vortices.
A Hybrid Cooling Pathway
Critically, the design is engineered to support a hybrid cooling approach within a single structure. This allows for a mix of traditional air-cooled servers, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, and full immersion cooling tanks. This flexibility permits customers to support a wide range of hardware, from legacy IT to cutting-edge AI servers with power densities exceeding 100 kilowatts per rack, with a clear pathway to even higher densities in the future.
Operational and Market Advantages
Beyond technical specifications, the partnership is structured to address systemic delays in the data center market.
Accelerated Deployment Timeline
The companies emphasize a dramatically compressed construction schedule. They state that the dome structure itself can be made watertight within 12 weeks, with a fully commissioned data center delivered in approximately 12 months. This contrasts with typical timelines of 18 to 30 months for conventional facilities. “Speed to market is the critical differentiator,” Keegan noted. “We can deliver 25 or 50 megawatts in the time it takes many projects to complete site preparation and foundation work.”
Navigating Grid Constraints
Acknowledging that grid delays are now a primary bottleneck, the partnership will offer integrated behind-the-meter power generation solutions. This includes options for on-site power generation, allowing facilities to operate independently of overtaxed public utilities. “In many regions, securing a 20 to 50-megawatt grid connection can take three to five years,” said David Jackson, CEO of ServerDomes. “On-site generation is becoming a necessity, not an option, for timely deployment.”
Sustainability and Community Alignment
The partnership frames its efficiency gains not merely as economic advantages but as essential components of sustainable and socially responsible infrastructure.
Reducing Community Friction
Executives argue that the smaller physical footprint, drastically lower water draw, reduced power demand, and quieter operation inherent to the design can mitigate community opposition. “When a facility generates its own power, uses almost no municipal water, and has a lower visual and environmental impact, it removes the most common sources of local resistance,” Jackson explained.
Embedding ESG Principles
The collaboration explicitly positions environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations as central to its mission. “Sustainability must guide the industry’s next phase,” Keegan emphasized. “We have a responsibility to scale compute infrastructure without repeating the resource-intensive mistakes of the past. This model provides a pathway to do that.”
A Modular Path Forward
The partnership will deliver facilities in modular configurations, starting at 5 megawatts and scaling in increments to campuses of 50 megawatts or larger. This scalable, standardized approach is intended to provide consistency across global regions, leveraging a unified supply chain and engineering blueprint. For enterprises and AI startups, the promise is the ability to deploy essential capacity within a timeframe that aligns with the breakneck pace of technological innovation, rather than the slow cadence of traditional construction.
