Armada Starts Dublin Production of Sovereign AI Data Centers

What happened

Armada began continuous production of its Leviathan modular AI data centers at its new 90,000-square-foot facility inside a Johnson Controls site in Dublin, Ireland. The first Leviathan unit built in Dublin was completed for Fossefall in Norway. This marks Armada's first European manufacturing operation and follows a similar facility in Arizona. Additional orders for Leviathan systems are planned for Norway and Australia, with deliveries scheduled through early 2027.

Key details

• The Dublin facility is Armada’s first European manufacturing site and employs around 700 Johnson Controls staff.
• Fossefall’s initial order includes five Leviathan systems totaling over 9 megawatts, with all units to be delivered by Q1 2027.
• WinDC in Australia plans to deploy 11 megawatts of Leviathan capacity at renewable energy sites.
• Leviathan integrates Armada’s computing and software with Johnson Controls’ thermal management technology, including zero-water cooling.
• Armada and Johnson Controls are targeting at least 500 megawatts of production capacity in 2027 across multiple sites.

Why it matters

Operators like Fossefall and WinDC can now access modular, energy-efficient AI data centers that can be deployed quickly and scaled as needed. Customers gain full ownership and control over their infrastructure, reducing reliance on external cloud providers. The manufacturing expansion provides new skilled jobs in Ireland and, if targets are met, will increase the availability of sovereign AI infrastructure in Europe, Australia, and potentially North America.
