Avalon hosting.
Canaan's Avalon line is the third major family. Air-cooled units run in our standard containers; hydro and immersion variants are confirmed per order.
Which container a machine goes into
Air-cooled units run in our standard containers. Hydro-cooled units need a facility with a cooling loop, which is why hydro is confirmed per order.
Air cooled
Standard at every facility. Filtered airflow sized for the draw, containers added block by block.
Hydro cooled
Where density calls for it. Water plates on the machine, a loop in the container, confirmed per order.
Immersion
