Flex announced an expanded portfolio of prefabricated modular data center solutions designed to accelerate deployment of next-generation AI factories. The portfolio includes new AI Modules that integrate power, high-density compute and advanced liquid cooling into pre-engineered, factory-built systems, enabling customers to reduce deployment timelines by up to 50% compared with traditional construction approaches.
The expanded portfolio is part of Flex’s Cloud and Power Infrastructure (CPI) segment, which Flex plans to separate into Axiom, an independent publicly traded company, in the first quarter of calendar 2027.
“Meeting the demands of AI infrastructure at scale requires more than incremental improvements. It requires rethinking how power, compute and cooling work together as a system,” said Chris Butler, expected Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Axiom. “Our system-level approach brings these critical technologies together with advanced manufacturing to simplify integration, accelerate deployment and deliver AI factories at scale.”
As AI infrastructure grows in scale and power density, data center operators face increasing complexity across power delivery, cooling, compute integration and deployment. Addressing these challenges requires a more integrated approach to designing and deploying the critical infrastructure that supports next-generation AI factories.
The Axiom AI Modules integrate critical AI infrastructure into pre-engineered, factory-built systems, including:
- 800 VDC Power Rack: Delivers high-efficiency power conversion and distribution for next-generation 800 VDC AI infrastructure and high-density compute.
- Advanced cooling distribution units (CDUs): Provide liquid cooling to efficiently manage the increasing heat generated by power-intensive AI workloads.
- High-density IT racks: Integrate AI servers, networking and high-speed interconnects to support next-generation AI compute at scale.
By shifting complex infrastructure integration from the data center site to a controlled factory environment, the Axiom AI Modules are assembled, integrated and tested in parallel with site development. This approach reduces on-site complexity and helps customers bring AI capacity online faster.
Flex is actively building prefabricated modular solutions for hyperscalers across its global footprint, including more than three million square feet of dedicated data center infrastructure manufacturing capacity in the U.S. With deep expertise across power, compute, cooling and systems integration, Flex has the scale and capabilities to support rapid AI infrastructure deployment across regions.
