Long-term leases
Operators take space via a multi-year lease, giving full operational control of the unit for the duration of the agreement. The same commercial structure you would expect from a traditional data centre.
For Compute Operators
AI-ready space, on a lease you already understand
Acre gives compute operators a powered, liquid-cooled, connected, and secure environment for AI hardware. Rented on a long-term lease at market data centre rates. No campus required.
Liquid cooled
Every unit is liquid cooled, not air cooled, supporting higher rack density than a comparable air-cooled environment. That density carries a premium rental rate, reflecting the additional compute it supports per unit.
Market-rate pricing
Rental is priced in line with traditional data centre colocation rates, with a premium reflecting the higher density liquid cooling supports. Energy is billed separately at a margin over Acre's wholesale cost, drawing on the unit's onsite battery.
Faster to live
Because Acre deploys on sites with existing power and connectivity, operators can reach live AI-ready capacity significantly faster than waiting for a greenfield campus or hyperscale colocation slot.
Maintenance and monitoring
Acre owns the unit, so maintenance and remote monitoring of the infrastructure layer is included as standard. Operators stay focused on compute workloads while Acre covers the physical environment.
Scalable by unit
Start with one 50kW unit and scale by adding more. Multiple units can be clustered on the same site or across sites, letting operators grow distributed capacity without committing to a single large facility.
Demand confirmed first
Acre secures operator interest and lease terms before deploying a unit. You are not being offered speculative capacity. Every deployment is matched to confirmed demand.
Lower energy costs
Liquid cooling carries a lower energy overhead than air cooling, and every unit also ships with an onsite battery that charges overnight when grid electricity is cheaper and cleaner. Acre passes part of that combined saving through, billing energy at a margin rather than peak market rates.
Acre vs traditional data centre colocation
| Factor | Traditional colocation | Acre |
|---|---|---|
| Time to live capacity | 18 to 36 months | Weeks to months |
| Minimum commitment | Large campus footprint | Single 50kW unit |
| Lease structure | Multi-year colocation lease | Multi-year lease, same structure |
| Cooling | Air cooled | Liquid cooled, higher density |
| Rental pricing | Market colocation rates | Market rates, density premium |
| Energy pricing | Grid rate, billed directly | Liquid cooling + battery, billed at a margin |
| Maintenance | Operator or facility managed | Always Acre-managed |
| Scalability | Expand within campus | Add units on same or new sites |
Maintenance services
As the owner of the unit, Acre manages the physical infrastructure layer as standard. This covers the unit itself, not the compute hardware.
- Scheduled physical inspections
- Cooling system maintenance
- Power and UPS servicing
- Security system checks
Remote monitoring
Acre units are built with monitoring integration as standard, and as the owner of the unit, Acre manages monitoring and alerting directly. Operators retain visibility into the infrastructure layer throughout.
- Power and environmental monitoring
- Thermal and cooling alerts
- Operational status visibility
- Remote oversight capability
