VCI Global Targets 500MW AI Compute Capacity with Modular Data…

Event summary

VCI Global launched Galatron AI Factory, a modular data center platform for high-density AI computing.
The company aims to deploy up to 500MW of AI compute capacity over five years.
Initial 5MW deployment targets Q3 2027 commercial power-on with NVIDIA B300-class infrastructure.
Each 5MW module can support over 5 trillion AI tokens annually, with 500MW capacity enabling ~670 trillion tokens.

The big picture

VCI Global's Galatron AI Factory addresses critical AI infrastructure bottlenecks, including power availability and deployment speed. The International Energy Agency projects global data center electricity consumption to more than double by 2030, driven by AI demand. VCI Global's modular approach aims to scale compute capacity in line with power availability and customer demand, positioning the company in the rapidly expanding AI infrastructure market.
