OCP Global Summit—Flex unveiled the industry’s first globally manufactured, fully integrated platform designed for gigawatt-scale data centers powering AI and high-performance computing (HPC).
This next-generation infrastructure platform combines power, cooling, compute, and Flex’s global services into pre-engineered, modular reference designs—enabling data center operators to deploy up to 30% faster, minimize execution risk, and scale seamlessly to meet the accelerating demands of AI.
Traditional bespoke data center builds are usually complex, with extended construction timelines and higher schedule risks, as well as unpredictable performance and costs. Flex simplifies this process by uniting the core building blocks of AI-scale infrastructure, integrating its comprehensive portfolio of power and cooling solutions with advanced rack integration capabilities into pre-engineered, modular designs.
Its key advantages include:
- Faster Installation: Up to 30% faster time-to-market fuels revenue recognition.
- Integration as innovation: A unified platform that enables rack, cooling, and power breakthroughs.
- Deepest hardware stack in the industry: Connection of compute with critical infrastructure for higher performance and efficiency.
- Flexible, open architecture: Partner-friendly as well as adaptable to customer-preferred OEMs.
- Lifecycle intelligence: Built-in monitoring, predictive analytics, and system-level optimization.
Flex's global manufacturing and supply chain network underpins the platform and new products, delivering unmatched scalability, resilience, and deployment speed. In addition, Flex provides global services that support the full lifecycle of AI infrastructure, from design and sourcing through deployment, fulfillment, and circular economy. This ensures customers benefit not only from integrated hardware but also from end-to-end support that enhances reliability and sustainability, along with speed to scale.
Executive Statement
According to Michael Hartung, president and chief commercial officer at Flex, as AI adoption accelerates, data center operators must overcome rising power, heat, and scale challenges to deploy infrastructure at unprecedented speed. Flex delivers the industry's deepest hardware stack by integrating power, cooling, and compute with vertically integrated manufacturing at scale. Its open architecture provides the flexibility required for faster, more predictable deployments, enabling data center operators to keep up with AI demand.
