Karios Cube
Micro Modular Datacenter: Enterprise-Grade Compute Anywhere
The Karios Cube is a fully self-contained, ruggedized micro modular datacenter that brings high-performance computing, storage, and networking to the most remote and challenging locations on Earth. Whether deployed in a rural village, disaster zone, industrial site, or forward-operating base, Karios Cube delivers datacenter capabilities without needing traditional infrastructure.
Available in three flexible form factors to suit any deployment:
Full Cube
Approximately 1 meter (3 ft) per side: maximum density and capability in a portable, rugged package
Suitcase Size
Ultra-portable for automotive, mobile, or rapid-deployment scenarios
Rack-Mount Components
Integrate Cube internals into standard 19-inch racks for traditional datacenter or server room use

Patented Thermal & Power Management
What makes the Karios Cube truly unique is its patented thermal management system, the first of its kind to enable sustained high-density compute in extreme conditions without external cooling or reliable grid power.
Phase-Change Heat Exchange
Micro Sensor Management
Energy-Aware Power Distribution (Karios PowerLink)
Environmentally Adaptive Cooling
Zero-Touch Provisioning with Karios Forge
Deploy and manage Cubes effortlessly, even in locations without skilled IT staff.
- Zero-Touch Deployment – Hardware provisions itself from firmware using Redfish, OpenBMC, Intel vPro, and PiKVM
- Automated Lifecycle Management – Firmware, BIOS, and storage continuously updated by Karios Atlas
- Instant Discovery – Resources auto-inventoried and visible in the central Karios Core dashboard
- Remote Orchestration – Secure SDN tunnels allow central teams to manage remote Cubes as extensions of the main datacenter
Ship it, power it on, and it’s ready. The ultimate “ship and forget” edge solution.
