Integrated solutions combine power, compute and cooling to speed deployment by up to 50%

News summary

- Introduces AI Modules that integrate power, compute and cooling in prefabricated modular solutions to accelerate AI factory deployment by up to 50%

- Enables faster deployment of next-generation AI infrastructure through factory-built, integrated systems

- Strengthens Flex's Cloud and Power Infrastructure portfolio, which Flex plans to separate into Axiom Solutions International, Inc. (Axiom), in the first quarter of calendar 2027

SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Flex (NASDAQ: FLEX) today announced an expanded portfolio of prefabricated modular data center solutions designed to accelerate deployment of next-generation AI factories. The portfolio includes new AI Modules that integrate power, high-density compute and advanced liquid cooling into pre-engineered, factory-built systems, enabling customers to reduce deployment timelines by up to 50% compared with traditional construction approaches.

The expanded portfolio is part of Flex's Cloud and Power Infrastructure (CPI) segment, which Flex plans to separate into Axiom, an independent publicly traded company, in the first quarter of calendar 2027.

"Meeting the demands of AI infrastructure at scale requires more than incremental improvements. It requires rethinking how power, compute and cooling work together as a system," said Chris Butler, expected Chief Technology and Strategy Officer at Axiom. "Our system-level approach brings these critical technologies together with advanced manufacturing to simplify integration, accelerate deployment and deliver AI factories at scale."

As AI infrastructure grows in scale and power density, data center operators face increasing complexity across power delivery, cooling, compute integration and deployment. Addressing these challenges requires a more integrated approach to designing and deploying the critical infrastructure that supports next-generation AI factories.

The Axiom AI Modules integrate critical AI infrastructure into pre-engineered, factory-built systems, including:

- 800 VDC Power Rack: Delivers high-efficiency power conversion and distribution for next-generation 800 VDC AI infrastructure and high-density compute.

- Advanced cooling distribution units (CDUs): Provide liquid cooling to efficiently manage the increasing heat generated by power-intensive AI workloads.

- High-density IT racks: Integrate AI servers, networking and high-speed interconnects to support next-generation AI compute at scale.

By shifting complex infrastructure integration from the data center site to a controlled factory environment, the Axiom AI Modules are assembled, integrated and tested in parallel with site development. This approach reduces on-site complexity and helps customers bring AI capacity online faster.

Flex is actively building prefabricated modular solutions for hyperscalers across its global footprint, including more than three million square feet of dedicated data center infrastructure manufacturing capacity in the U.S. With deep expertise across power, compute, cooling and systems integration, Flex has the scale and capabilities to support rapid AI infrastructure deployment across regions.

FAKUMA 2026: ENVALIOR UNVEILS HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIAL SOLUTIONS FOR NEXT GENERATION DATA CENTERS

- At Fakuma 2026, Envalior showcases its latest material solutions for reliable data center power distribution, connectivity, and cooling components.

- Envalior materials and expertise help to accelerate time-to-market while reducing scale-up risks and costs.

- Solutions featured include Stanyl® PA46 for DC-ready arc quenching, Xytron™ PPS to support robust cooling systems, Pocan® PBT (CTI 600) for high-voltage busbars and connectors, ForTii® PA4T PPA for SMT reflow power connectors and injection-molded switchgear components.

DÜSSELDORF, Germany, Oct. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Envalior, a global leader in Sustainable & High-Performance Engineering Materials, will showcase its material toolkit for data center technology suppliers at Fakuma 2026, October 12 to 16 in Friedrichshafen, Germany. At its booth, visitors will discover proven material solutions for power distribution, cooling systems, and switchgear that enable suppliers to meet the increasing performance, efficiency, and reliability demands of AI data centers. Attendees can find Envalior's experts in Hall B4, stand 4302.

Proven performance meets evolving demands

As AI workloads increase power density and operating temperatures, data center infrastructure must safely manage higher voltages, greater thermal loads, and more stringent reliability requirements. Components throughout power paths and cooling systems are becoming critical to maintaining uptime and protecting increasingly valuable computing equipment, enabling a robust 'reliability backbone' for data centers.

Envalior's targeted material toolkit is designed to help ensure continuous operation and minimize risk of valuable equipment damage. In addition, through its 360 Innovation Services offering, it delivers full-spectrum support to enable more strategic material choices, providing direct access to the company's experts so customers can benefit from its decades of application-, material-, design- and processing know-how.

"The rising demands of data centers call for a new generation of materials offering greater tracking resistance, heat resistance, and dimensional stability at high temperatures. When looking at the impact of changes, such as the shift to 800V DC power infrastructure, the effects across the system mean specialized solutions are required to match the mechanical, thermal, and electrical profile in each case. Elements such as connectors, fan components, and switchgear therefore become a core part of the data center's 'reliability backbone'," says Martin Burg, Advanced Development Expert at Envalior.

Data center applications on display at Fakuma 2026 include:

- A wide range of connectors for different areas of the power path, providing critical safety and reliability benefits, such as busbar connectors with Akulon® PA66, Pocan® PBT, or Xytron™ PPS; board-level connectors with TÜV-certified ForTii® T11 PPA; and 800V DC connectors made with Pocan® PBT (CTI 600).

- Switchgear arc chambers made with Stanyl® CR310 PA46, enabling DC-ready arc-quenching performance – which is essential as data centers transition toward 800V DC architectures, since arcs are more difficult to interrupt in DC than AC systems – and offering a significantly higher heat deflection temperature [HDT(A)] than standard PA66, of 290°C. Switchgear enclosures made with ForTii® C11F PA4T PPA deliver excellent mechanical properties at high temperatures, while enabling injection molding for a faster production process to meet the scaling requirements of the rapid data center buildout.

- Fan blades and housings made with Xytron™ PPS, enabling higher heat resistance and greater dimensional stability; ultrathin fan stator insulation using Stanyl® PA46, delivering higher torque density for more powerful cooling; core liquid cooling system components, from server-level cold plates to rack-level distribution, made with Xytron™ PPS, offer high corrosion resistance and extremely low ion leaching – essential to preserve coolant conductivity and reduce maintenance requirements – alongside greater durability, mechanical strength, and processability.

Envalior 360 Innovation Services: Delivering more impactful results

In data center construction, the pressure to reduce time-to-market while meeting strict performance, durability, and safety requirements is growing. Envalior's 360 Innovation Services addresses this by making its experts directly available to customers, from initial design to production optimization. It brings together all areas of Envalior's expertise, including materials science, testing, simulation, application knowledge, computer-aided engineering (CAE) modeling capabilities, AI-powered tools, and sustainability consulting.

"The unique material challenges of the data center era require a whole-system approach, taking into account the role that each material and component plays in meeting the overall application needs. Meanwhile, the rapid growth in this space means that production scalability is also a key consideration. Envalior is helping to design components in a way that facilitates rapid and reliable manufacturing. Given the global value chains related to data centers, our specialized material toolkit combined with our localized production and R&D footprint allows customers to achieve the right material properties and supply chain for each component to optimize lifetime reliability," says John Hsieh, Segment Innovation Manager Electronics at Envalior.

Fakuma 2026 attendees can visit Envalior's experts at Hall B4, Stand 4302 during the event, which takes place October 12 to 16.

Detailed information on Envalior's materials can be found in Envalior's Material Advisor, which provides digital tools and services that customers can use to find, select, and evaluate materials.
