10 MW of AI infrastructure. 400 racks. 16 weeks.

The challenge

A Fortune 500 gaming technology company needed to rapidly deploy AI infrastructure for next-generation game development and real-time rendering. The project required unprecedented density, 40 kW per rack across approximately 400 cabinets, on a timeline traditional approaches could not meet.

The client also operated under gaming commission oversight requiring enhanced physical security. Standard colocation security would not satisfy audit requirements; the infrastructure needed to be isolated, monitored and access-controlled to standards more typical of financial services or classified government facilities. Delays would hit product development timelines with substantial downstream consequences.

Our approach

BNS Networks served as prime contractor, self-performing across all trades to maintain quality control and eliminate the coordination gaps that plague multi-vendor deployments. When a single organization owns design, installation and commissioning, accountability is clear and handoff problems disappear.

Our team began with detailed power and cooling assessments, modeling thermal loads for GPU infrastructure that generates heat densities far beyond traditional IT. The liquid cooling design integrated with the facility’s existing air handling, augmenting rather than replacing conventional cooling. Cage construction and physical security proceeded in parallel with power distribution and cooling, without sacrificing methodical verification.
