Cryptomining and HPC data center firm Hut 8 Corp. has launched a Bitcoin mining data center in Texas which spans 162,000 sq ft (15,050 sqm) and will offer 205MW of capacity at full energization.
Vega features a proprietary, rack-based, direct-to-chip liquid cooling system designed in-house by Hut 8, and is able to support densities up to 180kW per rack. Some 96 custom-designed cooling modules circulate 120,000 gallons of glycol-water solution through a closed-loop, according to the company.
“Vega exemplifies our innovation-driven approach to digital infrastructure design,” said Asher Genoot, CEO of Hut 8. “We built it for where we believe the market is going, using modular architecture and adaptive thermal systems designed to scale and evolve as workload requirements grow more complex. Over the past several weeks, as we’ve brought the site online, it has become clear how well this architecture performs under real-world conditions.”
“Vega’s design is particularly relevant for AI training and other non-customer-facing HPC workloads, where we believe speed, density, and cost efficiency will increasingly take precedence over traditional redundancy standards,” said Jake Palmer, senior vice president of development at Hut 8. “The project represents a design philosophy we intend to scale, refine, and deploy as we continue to bridge the gap between high-cost, high-redundancy builds and lower-cost, application-optimized infrastructure.”
