Turn an existing room into a real data room. We handle the power, cooling, networking, security and fire detection, and build it to code on site.
What’s included
- Conversion of an existing room, mechanical room, garage bay or basement — 1–4 racks, typically ~5–40 kW (final capacity per site and workload).
- Power: new circuits or sub-panel sized to the load, surge protection and online UPS, with a generator inlet option.
- Cooling: heat-pump mini-splits sized for the heat load, with an option to reuse the heat next door in cold months.
- Networking: enterprise gateway, 10 GbE switching, segmented networks and an internet failover option.
- Security and safety: access-controlled door, cameras, smoke/heat detection and leak sensors.
- Built to code under a Technical Safety BC permit and monitored remotely 24/7.
Configurations that fit an Edge Room
- AI — private AI for the whole organization, with optional private-AI software.
- Node — blockchain full nodes, validators, self-hosted services, backup and storage.
- Compute — high-density GPU/CPU compute for research, rendering or inference.
- Convertible — built with power and cooling headroom so the workload can change later.
- Custom — edge/telecom room, control room, streaming studio, battery + solar power room, lab or secure storage.
How it works
- 1 · Assess. Site, power, network and data review, with a written readiness report. About the assessment
- 2 · Build. Design, build, electrical, networking and commissioning.
- 3 · Manage. Remote 24/7 monitoring, updates and AI tuning, alongside your IT team. About Edge Watch monitoring

Private AI software
A company knowledge assistant and document search that runs on your own hardware.
How buying works
- 1 · Two-minute start. Take the Edge Readiness Quiz or book a discovery call.
- 2 · Assessment. We review your site, power, network and data, then send a written readiness report.
- 3 · Proposal. A clear scope, schedule and price for your system and any add-ons. Monthly options available.
- 4 · Build & commissioning. Installed to code under permit, tested and documented.
- 5 · Handover & monitoring. You own the hardware and get full admin access; Edge Watch keeps an eye on it 24/7.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of room works?
A spare room, mechanical room, basement or garage bay usually works. The assessment checks floor loading, ventilation, power and network routes.
Is it electrically approved?
Yes. On-site builds use certified components and are installed to code under a Technical Safety BC permit.
What happens to the heat?
It can be ducted to heat an adjacent space in cold months.
Do we own it?
Yes. You own the hardware; management is a monthly service.
Which rooms can be converted?
Spare rooms, mechanical rooms, garage bays and basements usually work. They need space for the racks, room for cooling and a clear path for power and network.
How long does a build take?
It depends on the size and the site. The assessment ends with a written schedule. Rack and room builds are usually the quickest; containers need shop time, testing and delivery.
Can you work with our existing IT team or provider?
Yes. Pfitztech designs, builds and monitors the infrastructure and works alongside your IT team or provider. You keep full admin access.
Are monthly payment options available?
Yes. Monthly options combine hardware and management in one payment. Founding pilot pricing on request.
