CANUS

How it works

From a connected siteto a leased pod.

We find a site that already has power and fibre, land a factory-built PortaDC pod on it, 450 kW to 1.2 MW, own it and lease the capacity to an AI cloud that brings its own GPUs. Firm to the tenant, flexible to the host. Here is the path.

The pod

The path

Four stages, one target.One owner answers for all four.

Most of the work happens before the pod leaves the factory. On site it is a crane lift, a hookup and a switch-on. The 120-day target runs from commercial close.

  1. 01

    Site & envelope qualification

    Stage 01 · CANUS

    Match tenant workload requirements to a pre-qualified behind-the-meter host site and lock the pod configuration. You pick the tier: Pulse, Surge or Forge. The lease is three numbers: a firm floor, a cushion and a flexible band.
  2. 02

    Factory manufacture & FAT

    Stage 02 · CANUS

    Build and factory-acceptance-test the two-module PortaDC stack to AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 61439 compliance standards. Electricity in and heat out are measured from the first factory run, and that record never stops.
  3. 03

    Turnkey crane & lock delivery

    Stage 03 · CANUS

    Deliver the lower compute vault and upper heat-rejection module to site, crane onto concrete sleepers, and lock interconnections in a single day. No hall, no raised floor, no fit-out.
  4. 04

    Energisation & LARUS AI™ handover

    Stage 04 · CANUS

    Complete behind-the-meter tie-in, FrontierGate™ boundary verification and live telemetry onboarding within our 120-day target window. Your racks slide in; one invoice a month, rent per IT-kW and power at cost.

The lease

Every leaseis three numbers.

Firm to the tenant, flexible to the host. The same three numbers sit in every PortaDC lease; only their values change with the tier.

  • 01 · The firm floor

    Power the host cannot cut

    A contracted IT load the host never touches. Pulse tenants run their whole allocation here. It is the number your SLA is written against.

  • 02 · The cushion

    Headroom held at the boundary

    An always-on reserve held at the boundary. When the host needs headroom, FrontierGate™ holds the host's power boundary while the tenant's firm floor never moves. Your GPUs do not notice. Solar-Sponge™ plans it; FrontierGate™ executes it at the boundary.

  • 03 · The flexible band

    Surge only, tenant-run

    A contracted 25 to 40% band that Surge tenants shape themselves, answering a power-budget signal with their own orchestration. It is why Surge rent is lower. Pulse tenants have a band of zero and are never trimmed.

When you need more

Add a pod,not a building.

Capacity grows in pod-sized steps, on the same pad or at the next site, built the same way, recorded the same way.

  1. 01

    On the same pad

    Pads are laid out for four. The next pod lands beside the first, shares the connection and joins the same lease.
  2. 02

    At the next site

    Where the power is cheaper or the customer is closer, a new pad at a new site. Pods connect by fibre and run as one fleet under one record.
  3. 03

    The record compounds

    Every pod carries the same measured history from factory test onward, so the second pod is cheaper to finance than the first and the twentieth is cheaper than the second.
