Apparent Unveils Live Modular Data Center at Historic PVUSA Site, Demonstrating Critical Compute Infrastructure
Apparent unveiled a fully operational modular data center at the historic PVUSA site in Davis, California. The demonstration facility uses the company’s PULSE hardware, igOS energy platform, solar power and batteries to support smaller-scale data center deployment while reducing reliance on constrained grid capacity.
Energy intelligence company Apparent unveiled a live modular data center in Davis, California, at the historic PVUSA site. The facility operates with Apparent’s PULSE power-delivery hardware and igOS and REMI software platforms, which monitor and manage the site through a digital twin.
The demonstration is designed to show how data centers can be deployed as modular units, begin at approximately 250 kilowatts and scale beyond 40 megawatts. Apparent said the system can use solar and batteries as its primary power source and improve utilization of backup power, potentially helping developers and utilities address grid constraints and approval concerns.
