The joint offering integrates Rimac Technology’s battery and power electronics technology with Ecoblox’s AI infrastructure, MDC architecture, design and hardware/software system integration.

As AI and high-performance computing drive demand for significantly more computing power, the availability of energy, cooling capacity and suitable deployment space is becoming increasingly important for data centre development. The joint solution aims to address these challenges in a compact, integrated architecture built for high-density workloads.

As AI compute transitions towards 400 VDC and 800 VDC architectures, Rimac Technology is utilising over a decade of high-voltage engineering expertise to develop next-generation power solutions. Partnering with Ecoblox, the two companies aim to engineer high-density modular solutions tailored to the demanding power requirements of AI compute.

The Modular Data Center integrates Rimac Technology UNI battery modules, streamlining serviceability, and enabling longer continuous backup power for critical computing hardware. Its Battery Management System delivers real-time monitoring and control, streaming core telemetry directly into the Ecoblox Data Centre Infrastructure Management platform for centralised visibility, automated alarms and analytics, while power conversion, UPS, precision cooling and IT infrastructure are unified within a single, modular footprint.

Developed to strict automotive standards, Rimac Technology UNI battery modules combine high-performance density, compact packaging, built-in safety and advanced thermal management in a high-volume industrialised battery solution. They are designed for use across automotive, energy storage, marine, off-highway, commercial and industrial applications, and now AI infrastructure.

As an NVIDIA Preferred Partner, Ecoblox delivers complete, end-to-end AI infrastructure - from high-density factory-engineered Modular Data Centres (MDCs) to full GPU system integration, encompassing cluster design, procurement, installation, and managed service operations. By pairing advanced air- and liquid-cooled pre-fab enclosures with its proprietary DCIM and HPC/GPUaaS software stacks, Ecoblox enables cloud providers, enterprises, and sovereign entities to deploy turnkey, exascale-ready compute directly at local power sources in just 6 to 8 months.

“Partnering with Rimac Technology allows us to redefine high-density power delivery for the next generation of AI compute” said Doug Makishima, CEO at Ecoblox. “By integrating automotive-grade energy storage and power electronics directly into our modular data center architecture, we are removing grid constraints and enabling cloud providers and enterprise customers to deploy scalable, power-resilient AI clusters faster and more efficiently than ever before.”

The completed modular data centre is on track for installation at Rimac Campus in November 2026, where it will serve as a live demonstration of the joint solution and a platform for customer and partner engagement.
