LONDON, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datalec Precision Installations (DPI) and PODTECH today announced a global technology partnership to deliver pre-staged, deployment-ready AI infrastructure solutions as hyperscaler demand strains data centre capacity across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The partnership addresses critical bottlenecks in AI data centre commissioning, where vacancy rates in data centres have fallen to record lows of 6.5% in Europe and 5.9% in the U.K., driving unprecedented demand for turnkey infrastructure services.

PODTECH brings extensive capability across environmental telemetry, power systems, server commissioning, integrations, facilities management and mobilisation, delivered through a team of 60+ highly skilled technical resources across the UK, Asia, and the Middle East. Supporting enterprise clients and hyperscalers globally, PODTECH has a proven track record of enabling complex infrastructure readiness at scale.

The partnership builds on successful collaborations including NVIDIA AI rack deployments for international hyperscaler programmes. Together, DPI and PODTECH will provide end-to-end infrastructure services engineered for AI workloads, which now account for 75% of hyperscaler capital expenditure.

A Unified AI-Focused Offering

Together, DPI and PODTECH now offer integrated capabilities across the full AI infrastructure lifecycle, including:

• Infrastructure connectivity
• NVLink fabric configuration
• GPU testing
• Compute node initialisation
• DOA testing
• SAT/FAT pre-deployment validation
• Network validation and bootstrapping
   

This combined service offering ensures every AI environment is fully prepared, validated, and deployment-ready, enabling clients to accelerate AI initiatives with confidence, performance, and reliability.

Shared Commitment to Delivery Excellence

“As organisations accelerate their AI adoption, the reliability and performance of the underlying infrastructure have never been more critical,” said James Bangs, Technology & Services Director at DPI. “At DPI, we’re proud to support our partners and clients with a full suite of technical services designed for the next generation of AI data centre environments. Building on our partnership with PODTECH, we have already delivered multiple successful deployments together, and this formal collaboration enables us to scale our capabilities globally.”
