AI INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

The groundwork
for intelligence

Autumn develops AI infrastructure projects in suitable underutilized spaces within existing properties. We bring together the site, power, capital, equipment and operating partners needed to turn a location into a working compute facility.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Physical infrastructure · Coordinated delivery

The infrastructure behind AI.

AI needs physical infrastructure: specialized servers, reliable electricity, cooling and connections to the people using them. Compute is the processing capacity those servers provide to run AI applications and other demanding workloads.

Autumn’s role is to develop the project around those requirements. We assess the opportunity, coordinate specialist review, and align the site, funding and delivery relationships.

THE PHYSICAL PROJECT

Configuration varies by site and workload

Suitable space

A secure area with the access and building conditions the equipment requires.

Power & cooling

Verified electrical capacity and a design for removing the heat equipment produces.

Servers & network

GPU servers for AI processing, connected by networking and suitable internet or fiber service.

Operations

Software, workload management, monitoring and equipment support under agreed responsibilities.

SUSTAINABILITY

Evaluate the resources already in place

Resourceful by design.

Underutilized real estate is an opportunity to put existing resources to productive use. Reusing suitable warehouses, offices and industrial space can limit new construction, material use and land disturbance.

Good stewardship starts with what is already there. Each project must also plan for the additional power, heat and water requirements of its equipment.

Put underused space to work

Assess vacant buildings and unused areas within occupied properties, including the changes needed to make suitable space ready.

Verify spare capacity

Compare electrical capacity with measured demand, competing uses and planned loads. A service rating alone does not establish availability.

Design for heat & water

Evaluate cooling, heat rejection and any water requirements for the chosen configuration and local conditions.

Account for the added demand

Include incremental energy and infrastructure costs in project planning. Agree who provides, pays for and maintains each resource.

PROCESS

The development process

From site assessment to operation.

Autumn brings sites, power, capital and specialist partners together to develop AI infrastructure. We define each project’s requirements, costs and responsibilities. We coordinate the path from initial review through installation and the handover to operations.

Understand the opportunity
Discuss the host’s space, access, objectives and intended users of the compute.
Test the site fit
Review power, cooling, connectivity, access and the works a configuration would require.
Define the project
Align customer needs, equipment, costs and separate delivery and operating responsibilities.
Agree & fund
Agree site rights, approvals and the project company’s equipment ownership and funding for agreed works.
Install & operate
Specialist partners install and commission the equipment, then transition to the agreed hardware support and software operating teams.

ECONOMICS

The economics behind each project.

Project structure

Capital partners can fund a project through Autumn at the TopCo level or directly into the project SPV. Host sites and clients participate through site and service agreements.
