Engineering the Future of AI Compute
AVTR's facility architecture is designed from first principles for the demands of frontier AI — not adapted from legacy enterprise data center blueprints. Every system is purpose-built for density, efficiency, and long-term scalability.
Target PUE via direct liquid cooling — industry average is 1.58
Supports next-gen GPU clusters including NVIDIA B300, GB300 NVL72, and Vera Rubin Series
Tier IV equivalent design with N+2 redundancy across all critical systems
Direct subsea fibre via Batam–Singapore cable systems
Powered by Riau Islands geothermal and hydro grid with on-site solar supplementation
Proof-of-concept facility, expandable to 250MW in Stage 2
Direct Liquid Cooling at Scale
Air cooling cannot keep pace with modern AI accelerator thermal envelopes. AVTR deploys direct liquid cooling (DLC) as the primary thermal management system — not as a supplement to air.
Direct-to-Chip Cooling
Coolant is delivered directly to GPU and CPU heat spreaders via cold plates, removing heat at the source before it enters the ambient air. Eliminates the thermal resistance of air as an intermediate medium.
Rear-Door Heat Exchangers
Secondary liquid cooling loops integrated into rack rear doors capture residual heat from components not covered by direct cold plates, achieving near-zero hot-aisle heat rejection.
Closed-Loop Coolant Distribution
Fully closed coolant distribution units (CDUs) per row prevent contamination and enable precise per-rack flow rate and temperature monitoring via integrated sensors.
Heat Reuse & Rejection
Waste heat from cooling loops is captured for potential district heating applications and rejected via dry coolers, eliminating water-intensive cooling towers in the primary loop.
Power Infrastructure for Frontier AI
AI training workloads demand power delivery that is stable, dense, and predictable. AVTR's power architecture is designed for the non-linear load profiles of large-scale GPU clusters.
High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC)
HVDC distribution within the facility reduces conversion losses by up to 15% versus traditional AC distribution, delivering more usable power to compute at lower total energy cost.
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Modular UPS systems with lithium-ion battery banks provide seamless ride-through for grid fluctuations. N+1 UPS redundancy ensures no single failure interrupts compute workloads.
Dedicated Grid Substation
AVTR operates a dedicated 150kV substation with dual utility feeds from separate grid entry points, eliminating shared-infrastructure risk common in co-located facilities.
AI Load Forecasting
Proprietary load forecasting software models GPU cluster power draw patterns to pre-position grid capacity, reducing demand charge exposure and improving power factor across the facility.
Subsea Fibre & Network Architecture
Direct fibre interconnect to Singapore's Equinix SG1–SG5 and ST Telemedia campuses. Sub-5ms round-trip latency to Singapore's financial and cloud core.
Access to multiple cable landing stations across Batam and Bintan islands, providing geographic path diversity and eliminating single points of failure in international connectivity.
Internal spine-leaf network architecture supporting 100G and 400G uplinks per rack row, with DWDM optical transport for inter-campus connectivity in Stage 2 and beyond.
AVTR operates as a carrier-neutral facility, enabling customers to bring their own network providers and establish direct cross-connects to any carrier present in the facility.
Net-Zero by Design
Sustainability is not a retrofit at AVTR — it is a design constraint applied from the earliest architectural decisions. Our target is net-zero operational carbon by Stage 2.
Renewable Energy Procurement
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) with Riau Islands geothermal and hydro generators provide a baseload renewable energy supply. On-site solar arrays supplement during peak generation hours.
Water-Efficient Cooling
Direct liquid cooling eliminates evaporative cooling towers in the primary loop, reducing water consumption by over 90% versus traditional air-cooled facilities of equivalent capacity.
Embodied Carbon Tracking
AVTR tracks embodied carbon across all construction materials and equipment procurement, targeting a 30% reduction versus industry baseline through low-carbon concrete and recycled steel.
Circular Hardware Programme
End-of-life GPU and server hardware is processed through certified e-waste partners in Indonesia, with precious metal recovery and component refurbishment where viable.
