Accelerated computing is changing what customers need from data center infrastructure. Power and cooling systems need to be engineered around the compute density and delivery requirements of each project.
To address these requirements, Submer Group has launched Corenix, a dedicated modular data center infrastructure business for neoclouds, hyperscalers, and AI operators. Corenix delivers rack-ready modular data center infrastructure, custom-engineered around each customer’s compute density, rack configuration and project requirements. Based on NVIDIA reference designs, the systems are delivered in skid-mounted or containerized formats.
A Coordinated Delivery Model
Corenix coordinates delivery of its agreed infrastructure scope from factory integration and testing through on-site commissioning:
- Factory Integration & Testing: Power, cooling and physical infrastructure are factory-built, integrated and tested under simulated electrical and thermal loads against the agreed design requirements. Witnessed factory acceptance testing takes place before shipment.
- On-Site Commissioning: Corenix manages installation, connection to site infrastructure, site acceptance testing and commissioning within the agreed scope, handing over infrastructure ready for the customer to connect its IT and compute equipment.
By bringing engineering, manufacturing, supply chain coordination and on-site execution together within one coordinated delivery model, Corenix provides a repeatable path from an approved architecture to commissioned, rack-ready infrastructure. Accountability is defined by the agreed project scope.
Project-Specific Delivery Planning and Leadership
Corenix develops a project-specific delivery program before commitment, based on the agreed scope, equipment availability, supply-chain conditions, site readiness, and power availability. Infrastructure commissioning and the customer’s IT go-live are separate milestones; Corenix does not make a universal lead-time promise.
“AI factories are driving unprecedented demand for new data center capacity, and the market needs a faster, more predictable way to build it,” noted Patrick Smets, CEO of Submer Group. “Corenix builds on Submer’s history in modular data center delivery and the engineering, thermal, and infrastructure expertise we have developed solving high-density compute challenges for years.”
“Customers need clarity before they commit: what needs to be built, how it will be tested, who is accountable, and when the infrastructure will be ready,” stated Martin Renkis, newly appointed CEO of Corenix. “We establish project-specific milestones and dependencies before commitment, with one team accountable for the agreed infrastructure scope from factory integration and testing through on-site commissioning.”
Renkis brings deep industry expertise to Corenix, having previously served as Executive Director of Data Center Infrastructure Services at Johnson Controls and as founder and CEO of Smartvue and Trainersoft.
Built on Submer Group’s Engineering Experience
Leveraging a decade of liquid-cooling innovation and high-density compute expertise from Submer Group, Corenix channels this deep industry experience into a dedicated, agile unit.
Within the group, Corenix delivers scalable modular physical infrastructure engineered according to Nvidia reference designs; Submer’s technology business provides liquid-cooling and thermal engineering expertise; Rubix Data Centers develops and operates data center campuses; and Radian Arc provides GPU-as-a-Service and AI-as-a-Service. Customers can work with an individual business or combine capabilities where the project requires them.
Submer Group also has relationships with NVIDIA across multiple AI infrastructure divisions. Across the group, these include NVIDIA Cloud Partner status and membership of the NVIDIA Inception program.
