VERHI company news: expanding the micro-module data center portfolio for overseas projects

Why we expanded the portfolio

VERHI company news often centers on product launches, but this announcement is about something more fundamental: we've re-engineered our micro-module data center lineup to fit the way overseas projects actually get built. Over the last two years, our engineers kept hearing the same story from integrators and facility managers — the hardware was solid, but the options didn't always match local power standards, space constraints, or the need for rapid deployment. So we went back to the drawing board.

The result is a broader micro-module data center portfolio with more flexibility in cooling, power distribution, and physical footprint. We're not claiming a magic box that solves every problem; we're offering a set of building blocks that can be configured for edge sites, colocation suites, or enterprise server rooms. That's the core of this VERHI company news: more choices, engineered for real-world conditions.

What changed in the micro-module data center portfolio

Let's get into specifics. The new portfolio covers three main form factors: compact single-rack modules, multi-rack units up to six racks, and a modular hall solution that scales beyond that. Each can be ordered with either air cooling or liquid cooling, depending on your rack density and climate.

For air-cooled versions, we've improved the hot-aisle containment and increased the operating range up to 40°C ambient. That means you can run in warmer climates without cranking the compressors all day. The cooling capacity now goes from 8 kW to 30 kW per rack, which covers most typical IT loads. If you're pushing high-density AI or HPC gear, the liquid-cooled option handles up to 60 kW per rack with a supply water temperature of 18°C — that's warm enough to use free cooling for much of the year.

Power distribution got a refresh too. We now offer integrated power distribution units (PDUs) with optional redundancy: 2N or N+1 configurations, with input voltages of 208V, 400V, or 480V, and frequency support for 50Hz and 60Hz. That's a big deal for overseas projects because you don't want to re-engineer the whole module just because the local grid uses 50Hz or a different phase configuration.

How the new modules handle real-world constraints

One thing we focused on was deployment speed. In many overseas projects, the site isn't ready when the equipment arrives. So we made the modules more self-contained. Each unit comes with its own cooling, power distribution, and monitoring — you just need to connect external power and network. We've seen installation times drop from weeks to days, which matters when you're on a tight schedule.

Another practical issue is floor loading. Not every building has a raised floor rated for heavy equipment. Our new modules have a lower weight per square meter, and we offer an optional base frame that distributes the load more evenly. For example, a six-rack module with full cooling and power weighs about 4.2 tons, which translates to roughly 700 kg/m² — that's within the range of many commercial buildings without structural reinforcement.

Cooling efficiency was a big driver. In our lab tests, the air-cooled module achieved a PUE of 1.25 at 25°C ambient with a 10 kW per rack load. With the liquid-cooled version, we measured a PUE of 1.15 at the same load and a water temperature of 18°C. These numbers aren't theoretical; they come from our own test setup, and we're happy to share the full test methodology with any serious buyer.

Design choices that matter for overseas projects

When you're shipping a data center across an ocean, every kilogram and every cubic meter counts. So we've also optimized the packaging. The modules are designed to fit into standard 20-foot or 40-foot shipping containers, with all components pre-assembled and tested at the factory. That reduces on-site assembly errors and cuts down the risk of damage during transit.

We also added more remote monitoring options. The built-in controller now supports SNMP, Modbus, and RESTful APIs, which makes it easier to integrate with your existing DCIM or building management system. For a project in a remote location, that's not a luxury — it's a necessity.

Another thing we learned from overseas projects is that local support matters. That's why we've expanded our service network in Europe and Central Asia, with spare parts stocked in regional warehouses. If something fails, you don't want to wait a month for a replacement part to clear customs.

What this means for buyers and engineers

For an engineer specifying a data center, the expanded portfolio gives you more options to match the exact load and cooling requirements. You're no longer forced to over-specify a large system for a small edge site, or squeeze a high-density rack into a module that wasn't designed for it. That saves money and floor space.

For a buyer, the key benefit is predictability. Because the modules are pre-engineered and tested, you get a more accurate picture of performance and power usage before you commit. We publish the technical specifications, including cooling capacity, power input, and physical dimensions, so you can do your own calculations.

We've also made the modules more flexible in terms of redundancy. You can start with an N configuration and later upgrade to N+1 by adding an extra cooling unit or PDU. That's useful if you're building in phases or if your budget doesn't allow full redundancy from day one.

A quick look at the portfolio options

Model	Racks	Cooling	Max kW/rack	PUE (typical)	Footprint (m²)
VM-M1	1	Air	8	1.3	1.2
VM-M3	3	Air	15	1.25	3.5
VM-M6	6	Air	30	1.2	6.8
VM-M6L	6	Liquid	60	1.15	6.8

The table gives you a rough idea, but the real spec sheet is more detailed. For example, the VM-M6L requires a chilled water supply and a return temperature of 25°C, which means you need a chiller or a dry cooler. That's an extra piece of equipment, but the higher density might be worth it for certain workloads.

Verification and testing

We're not asking you to take our word for it. Each module goes through a factory acceptance test (FAT) before it ships. We run the cooling system at full load, verify the power distribution, and check the monitoring alarms. You can even witness the FAT remotely or on-site, if you want to be extra sure.

We also provide a detailed commissioning report with every unit. That includes measured power consumption, cooling capacity, and PUE under different load conditions. It's the kind of data that helps you plan your operating budget and avoid surprises.

The bigger picture: why VERHI company news matters for your next project

This expansion isn't just about adding new SKUs to a catalog. It's about making micro-module data centers a more viable option for a wider range of overseas projects. Whether you're building a small edge node in a retail store or a 12-rack colocation suite in a business park, the new portfolio gives you a configurable, pre-tested solution that can be deployed quickly and operated efficiently.

We've seen too many projects stall because the equipment didn't match the site conditions. That's why we've put a lot of thought into the details: voltage options, cooling ranges, floor loading, and remote management. The result is a portfolio that's more adaptable, and that's good news for anyone planning a data center outside their home country.
