GPU colocation without the campus.
Small, modular sites that energize fast — Depot 01 is live, with racks powered in under 2 weeks.
1.8MW AVAILABLE NOW · $175/kW/MO NNN + POWER AT COST
Depot 01, our pilot in Northeast Washington, is live with 1.8MW of energized, air-cooled capacity at up to 50kW per rack. Sign, ship your servers, and your racks are powered in under 2 weeks — at $175/kW/month plus metered power at cost, backed by a 99.9% uptime SLA.
Many small sites, not one giant campus.
An IDACORE Depot is a small, purpose-built compute site — 5MW or less, typically about 1MW of IT load — placed where the utility already has power. Mega-campuses wait years on new substations. Depots use the capacity that's already there, so they energize in a fraction of the time.
We scale out, not up: many Depots across the region instead of one building that has to be perfect. The platform is resilient as a whole, no single site is gold-plated, and you pay for what your workload needs — not for premium everything.
Depot 01 is live in Northeast Washington. The next Depots are planned for the Treasure Valley and Eastern Oregon.
Lean, modular, and built for GPUs.
Depots are built from Compute Modules: roughly 500kW units, containerized or in a simple steel building. Two modules make a 1MW Depot. Every new Depot is built to this standard:
Outside air enters through louvers on one long side, passes MERV 13 filtration, crosses the servers, and exits the other side. A direct evaporative wet wall handles summer. No compressors, no chillers — louvers, recirculation, and the wet wall are fully automated.
Standard 48-inch-deep cabinets with A+B PDUs (C13 and C19), built for air-cooled NVIDIA HGX B200-class servers.
A utility primary feed through our own transformer, delivering 415V to the racks.
Free-air cooling puts the design-target PUE at roughly 1.1–1.2 — and because power bills at cost times PUE, that efficiency lands on your invoice.
Pick the resilience you need.
The base offering is utility-fed, with no UPS or generator plant baked into every kilowatt. That keeps it the lowest-cost tier — the right fit for training jobs that checkpoint and inference fleets that fail over. Depot 01 carries a 99.9% uptime SLA.
UPS and generator, or battery energy storage (BESS), added to your deployment when your workload calls for it.
Run across multiple Depots so no single site is a point of failure — redundancy the way cloud platforms do it, without paying for 2N at one building.
Our own network, end to end.
IDACORE runs its own network, AS36824, with Lumen and Cogent upstreams. Depot 01 gets IP transit delivered on-site; Depots in the Treasure Valley and Eastern Oregon connect back to our Boise interconnect hub over metro fiber, with a second hub planned for redundancy.
BGP sessions with dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6.
Burstable, billed at the 95th percentile with commits. See IP transit for how we price bandwidth.
Long term, we plan dark fiber between Depots so they work as one horizontally scaled cluster.
$175/kW/month NNN. Power at cost.
$175/kW/month on a 36-month term covers space, cooling, and facility infrastructure for your contracted kW. Power bills on top at cost — your metered IT load times PUE at the utility rate, with no markup.
Terms run 12, 24, or 36 months; shorter terms carry a higher rate, and larger commitments get lower ones. A deposit and the first month are due at signing. Custom structures are available for anchor tenants.
Backup power, IP transit, transport and waves, and remote hands.
$150/hr during business hours in 15-minute increments; $250/hr after hours with a 1-hour minimum.
Power-cycle your own gear from the IDACORE customer portal — no ticket, no wait.
Small footprint. Local benefit.
Big campuses can strain grids and divide towns. Depots are designed to win community support instead of fighting for it.
A Depot is a small site on power the utility already has — no new substation, no years of construction.
We don’t ask communities for tax abatements to build a Depot.
Community contributions, training, and events in the towns where Depots operate — modern infrastructure and local jobs in small towns, without straining the grid.
IDACORE hosts community infrastructure today, including IdahoMesh MeshCore repeaters.
Built for teams that need GPUs racked now.
Running B200, H100, and RTX PRO 6000-class servers.
Dense, low-cost capacity for hosts renting GPUs on open marketplaces.
Capacity this quarter, not after a multi-year campus build.
Deployments from 100kW to 4MW, with a local operator who knows your racks.
Common questions about IDACORE Depots.
What is an IDACORE Depot?
An IDACORE Depot is a small, purpose-built GPU colocation site — 5MW or less, typically about 1MW of IT load — sited where the utility already has power. Instead of one giant campus, IDACORE scales out across many Depots. Depot 01, the pilot in Northeast Washington, is live with 1.8MW available now.
How much does GPU colocation cost at IDACORE Depots?
$175/kW/month NNN on a 36-month term, covering space, cooling, and facility infrastructure. Power is billed on top at cost: metered IT load times PUE at the utility rate, with no markup. 12- and 24-month terms are available at a higher rate. Backup power, IP transit, and remote hands are billed separately.
How fast can I deploy GPUs at an IDACORE Depot?
Depot 01 is live and energized. Racks are powered under 2 weeks from signing — there is no construction schedule or utility interconnect to wait on.
What GPU servers can I run at an IDACORE Depot?
Air-cooled NVIDIA HGX B200-class servers, as well as H100 and RTX PRO 6000-class systems. Depot 01 supports up to 50kW per rack — room for three 8-GPU HGX B200-class servers — in standard 48-inch-deep cabinets with A+B PDUs.
What power redundancy do IDACORE Depots have?
The base offering is utility-fed, which keeps it the lowest-cost tier; Depot 01 carries a 99.9% uptime SLA. Customers who need more can add UPS and generator backup or battery energy storage (BESS), or spread workloads across multiple Depots for site-level redundancy.
Where are IDACORE Depots located?
Depot 01 is live in Northeast Washington. The next Depots are planned for the Treasure Valley and Eastern Oregon, connected back to IDACORE's Boise interconnect hub over metro fiber.
