Armada launches 10MW modular data center Orion, its largest Galleon offering yet

Edge modular data center specialist Armada has introduced Orion, a 10MW addition to its Galleon family of prefabricated data center products. The new model represents a nearly tenfold increase in capacity compared to the company's previous flagship Leviathan unit, which launched last year at 1.77MW and was itself roughly ten times larger than Armada's original offering. The launch underscores the company's push toward rapidly deployable, high-density AI infrastructure that can be sited close to power sources.

Orion is engineered for deployment within existing structures and can scale to hundreds of megawatts across distributed sites, according to the company. Each module integrates compute, networking, power, and cooling in a prefabricated six-module core that supports up to 2,880 GPUs across 40 racks. The system is compatible with Nvidia Blackwell hardware and is designed with Vera Rubin-ready architecture, allowing customers to align with next-generation AI accelerators. Armada said units can be delivered within months, a timeline that contrasts sharply with traditional data center construction cycles.

The system can also be co-located with distributed power sources, including stranded or behind-the-meter energy solutions, a feature that could appeal to organizations seeking to bypass grid constraints. "AI infrastructure should be fast to deploy, easy to scale, and sovereign wherever it needs to live," said Dan Wright, co-founder and CEO of Armada. "Orion raises the ceiling on what a single deployment can deliver — ten megawatts per unit, infinitely scalable, in months instead of years. And because our customers own and operate it, on their land and their power, it's infrastructure the cloud can never be: theirs."

The launch follows a week of momentum for Armada. Earlier this week, the company announced a contract with Nordic data center operator Fossefall to deploy five Leviathan modules totaling more than 9MW of capacity, with delivery scheduled by Q1 2027. The deal, valued at several hundred million Norwegian kroner, will support projects across Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Fossefall said it will own and operate the GPU infrastructure inside the Leviathan units.

"We selected Armada for its best-in-class technology, proven execution capabilities, and ability to significantly accelerate time to market," said Øyvind Vesterdal, CEO of Fossefall. "We were also keen to work with a strategic partner manufacturing in Europe, to provide a resilient supply chain and reduce exposure to global disruptions. By refining clean energy into high-tech AI capacity, we will ensure national control over critical technology, create a billion-kroner export industry and produce significant local economic benefits."

Armada raised $230 million in May 2026, and at the time outlined plans for a new production facility known as Galleon Forge One, developed in partnership with Johnson Controls. The plant, spanning up to 400,000 square feet, is expected to create 500 jobs and enable continuous production of the company's modular units. The new Orion launch, combined with the Fossefall contract and expanded manufacturing capacity, signals Armada's ambition to position itself as a leading supplier of modular infrastructure for AI workloads, particularly in regions where speed, sovereignty, and access to distributed power are critical.
