About CANUS
CANUS Technologies builds and runs PortaDC, a factory-built, liquid-cooled AI data centre that lands on solar and battery sites and comes up in 120 days. We came from the grid, and we build for it.
What CANUS is
We find the power, build the pod, land it and run it. One party answers for the whole stack.

From the founders
“AI compute is the biggest new load the grid has ever taken on. We came from the grid. The answer was never going to be another hall in the city.”
Every AI hall gets built the same way: years in the connection queue, concrete poured over more years, metro power at metro prices, and water by the megalitre to keep it cool. Meanwhile the cheapest power in the country sits behind the meter at solar farms and battery yards, with spare capacity nobody is using.
So we took the data centre apart and put it back together as one machine that fits in a container. It is built where factories are good at building things, tested before it ships, craned onto a pad where the power already is, and run by the people who built it. When a customer needs more, we add a pod.
We find the power, we build the pod, we run it, and we answer for all of it. That's the whole company.
