Armada and Johnson Controls plan 500 MW of modular AI compute capacity in 2027
What changed
Data Centre Magazine reports that Armada will partner with Johnson Controls to build 500 MW of distributed capacity in 2027, using standardised, factory-built infrastructure based on the NVIDIA DSX POD reference design for the Vera Rubin platform. Armada says a conventional 50 MW facility can take roughly 600,000 on-site labour hours. The 500 MW is a plan, not installed capacity.
