About Canadian Vault

Pre‑launch preview. Projected launch: 2026.

Canadian Vault is transforming digital infrastructure in Canada. Launching in 2025, we're building Vaults — modular, ultra-efficient facilities that harness Canada's natural advantages: cold climate, clean grid, and strategic geography. Our mission is simple: deliver world-class compute, storage, and AI infrastructure that's more sustainable, more secure, and more cost-effective than traditional data centers.

The opportunity: While US data centers burn through energy for cooling in hot climates, Canadian Vaults use nature's refrigeration — cutting operational costs by up to 40% while delivering superior performance.

What is a Vault?

Each Vault is a purpose-built, modular facility designed for the demands of modern computing. Think beyond traditional data centers — Vaults are engineered for rapid deployment, maximum efficiency, and seamless scalability.

High-Density Compute

GPU clusters for AI/ML, high-performance CPUs, and specialized hardware optimized for demanding workloads. Each Vault supports 1-50MW+ configurations.

Modular Architecture

Pre-fabricated, standardized modules that can be deployed in weeks, not years. Scale from single racks to campus-sized facilities as demand grows.

Climate-Optimized

Purpose-built for Canadian conditions. Advanced cooling systems that leverage ambient temperatures, reducing PUE to industry-leading levels.

Our go-to-market strategy is straightforward: build fast, sell smart. We'll serve enterprise and cloud buyers through established channels first, then launch direct sales and self-service options once our infrastructure is proven at scale.

Launch Strategy

Phase 1: Market Entry (2025)

  • Deploy first production Vault with 5-15MW capacity
  • Partner with established cloud resellers and enterprise channels
  • Target AI/ML companies, gaming, and high-performance computing clients
  • Prove operational efficiency and cost advantages

Phase 2: Direct Sales (2026)

  • Launch customer portal with self-service provisioning
  • Offer flexible contracts: hourly, monthly, and long-term
  • Scale to multiple Vault locations across Canada
  • Begin serving international customers seeking Canadian hosting

🇨🇦 Canadian AI Initiative

Green, Sovereign LLM Hosting: We're planning to host Canadian instances of leading AI models including DeepSeek and Meta's open-source models. This means:

  • 100% Canadian data residency — your AI queries never leave Canada
  • Green AI — powered by Canada's clean grid with natural cooling efficiency
  • Privacy-first — no data sharing with foreign entities or governments
  • Cost-effective — up to 40% lower operational costs than US-hosted AI services
  • Low latency — optimized for Canadian and North American users

Perfect for government, healthcare, legal, financial services, and any organization requiring sovereign AI capabilities.

Long-term vision (2027+): Establish Canadian Vault as the premier infrastructure provider for organizations that value sustainability, data sovereignty, and cost efficiency. We'll expand across Canada's strategic locations, always planning for future renewable energy integration while leveraging Canada's already-clean grid (85%+ renewable/nuclear).

Power generation note: While on-site renewables aren't planned for the first 2+ years, every site selection considers future solar, wind, hydro, or geothermal potential. We're building for the long term.

The Canadian Advantage

Climate Economics

Cooling costs comparison:

  • Washington DC area: ~$2.50/kWh equivalent cooling cost
  • Texas/Arizona: ~$3.20/kWh cooling burden
  • Florida: ~$2.80/kWh air conditioning load
  • Canadian Vaults: ~$1.50/kWh with natural cooling

Result: 40-55% lower cooling costs year-round, plus reduced equipment wear from temperature stability.

Grid & Geography

Canada's infrastructure advantages:

  • 85%+ clean electricity (hydro, nuclear, renewables)
  • Stable grid with 99.97% uptime in major centers
  • Strategic location between US and European markets
  • Strong data protection laws (PIPEDA, provincial privacy acts)

Plus: geothermal potential from ground-source cooling and future energy harvesting.

Target Markets & Use Cases

AI/ML Workloads

Training large language models, computer vision, and deep learning applications that demand high-density GPU clusters with efficient cooling.

Canadian AI Services

Coming soon: Green, Canadian-hosted LLMs including DeepSeek and Meta models. Secure, sovereign AI inference with full Canadian data residency and environmental responsibility.

Gaming & Media

Game servers, content delivery, streaming infrastructure, and real-time applications requiring low latency and high availability.

Enterprise Cloud

Organizations seeking Canadian data residency, cost-effective backup/DR, or hybrid cloud strategies with sustainability requirements.

Research Computing

Universities, labs, and research institutions needing high-performance computing resources for scientific modeling and simulation.

Fintech & Privacy

Financial services and privacy-conscious applications requiring Canadian jurisdiction and regulatory compliance.

Sustainability Leaders

Companies with net-zero commitments seeking genuinely green infrastructure to meet environmental goals and reporting requirements.

Sovereign AI

Organizations requiring AI capabilities without data leaving Canada. Perfect for government, healthcare, legal, and enterprise customers prioritizing privacy and compliance.

Our Values & Differentiators

Sustainability First

We don't just talk green — we engineer it. From natural cooling to renewable-ready infrastructure, every Vault is designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing performance. Our PUE targets: <1.15 in winter, <1.25 year-round.

Canadian Sovereignty

Canadian-owned, Canadian-operated, Canadian-regulated. Your data stays in Canada, governed by Canadian privacy laws, with Canadian technical and legal support. No foreign government access, period.

Performance & Cost

Superior price-performance ratio through climate advantages, operational efficiency, and strategic partnerships. We compete on value, not just price — delivering better performance per dollar spent.
