Prefabricated modular data centre specialist DXN has entered into a binding contract for A$8.8million (US$6.3 million) with a US-based neo-cloud operator for a 1.36 MW AI High Performance Computing (HPC) modular data centre.
Under the terms of the contract, DXN will design, engineer, manufacture and commission a complete turnkey AI HPC Modular Data Centre solution, incorporating DXN's proprietary prefabricated module platform with fully integrated power, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, fire suppression and building management systems.
The contract is structured as a pilot proof-of-concept deployment, with manufacturing to commence immediately,
DXN expects to complete fabrication at its Welshpool, Western Australia manufacturing facility and commission the solution at the customer's US mainland site within approximately six months of contract signing.
Subject to successful delivery, the customer has indicated its intent to progress to a substantially larger campus programme representing a potential revenue opportunity for DXN in excess of US$200 million (A$279 million) for the existing site.
Shalini Lagrutta, MD of DXN, said this AI HPC contract is a defining milestone for DXN, further reinforcing the company's US delivery track record and the next step in DXN's growing global footprint.
"Securing a publicly listed, US-based Neo cloud operator further validates DXN’s strategic direction and execution over the last three years: productising our modular data centre capability specifically for the high-density AI inference market," she said.
"The selection of DXN by a leading US-listed neo-cloud operator ahead of a large-scale campus programme reflects our differentiation in speed-to-deployment, modular scalability and direct liquid cooling expertise. We look forward to delivering this proof-of-concept and growing what we expect to be a significant long-term commercial partnership.”
DXN's H1 FY26 results revealed declines in group revenue, gross profit and EBITDA, but the company did record its first recurring revenue from its Data Centre as a Service segment in the half.
Earlier this year, DXN signed a MOU and Shareholder Agreement with Super Sistem Indonesia to form a Joint Venture targeting Indonesia's data centre market, with potential revenue opportunity of approximately US$7 million over the next three years.
2025 saw DXN awarded contracts by an unnamed global comms and IT services provider; APTelecom; Ventia; Globalstar; and DP World.
