Getworks to Launch Training Program for Technicians in Water-Cooled Facilities to Meet Growing Demand for Containerized Data Centers for Water-Cooled GPU Servers

Getworks Inc. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hidenori Nakazawa; hereinafter "Getworks") has launched a training program for technicians to build data center facilities, including water-cooling and power supply equipment, in response to the rapidly increasing demand for containerized data centers for water-cooled servers from both domestic and international clients, in addition to expanding its own containerized data center base.

AI is evolving at a breakneck pace daily, and various related services and products have permeated people's lives. AI agents have now become indispensable tools and partners in business operations.

It is no exaggeration to say that the necessity of GPU servers, which form the foundation of these AI services, has greatly increased, and the amount of computational resources one possesses is directly linked to future economic development.

However, data centers, which are the operating environments for these GPU servers, are not in a sufficient state in terms of both quantity and functionality. Existing data centers often lack the power to install the latest GPU servers and the water sources for efficient cooling. Furthermore, the speed at which server specifications change far outpaces the speed at which new data centers can be built, leading to a prolonged mismatch where necessary servers cannot be operated at the required time.

Moreover, as GPU servers have become more heat-generating, the types and number of water-cooling equipment handled in data centers have increased, making the expansion of actual operations for CDUs (Cooling Distribution Units), InRow cooling units, and closed-loop cooling towers an urgent task.

While many demonstrations and PoCs are being conducted in Japan for the construction of next-generation data centers equipped with such equipment, the number of actual commercial operations is not high. No matter how many demonstrations and PoCs are conducted, they will not lead to the expansion of Japan's AI infrastructure base. It is strongly required to transition from demonstration to implementation as quickly as possible in the future.

Getworks has built and operated over 300 containerized data centers to date. Regarding water cooling, we have been operating water-cooled air conditioning systems for containerized data centers using well water, irrigation water, river water, and snow cooling since before water-cooled GPU servers became widespread. We have also been working to solve issues related to vendor and generation dependencies of increasingly complex water-cooled GPU servers and CDUs.

To support multiple CDUs and power supply types that differ by vendor, we have developed cooling and power designs for our containerized data centers in over 30 patterns.

By opening up the know-how accumulated so far and training technicians and contractors both domestically and internationally in piping installation, we aim to create a new revenue model and transform "water-cooled piping installation," which has been a behind-the-scenes role for data centers, into a cutting-edge business as "AI-related operators."

We also plan to accept many contractors and technicians involved in interior work and electrical equipment for containers, which is expected to accelerate the construction speed and scale of containerized data centers for the latest AI servers.

We aim to train 50-100 technicians per year, and our monthly production capacity for containerized data centers is expected to grow significantly from the current approximately 70 units to 200 units.

For technician training, Getworks will make available and effectively utilize the numerous latest water-cooling related facilities it already possesses, such as water-cooled InRow air conditioners, CDUs, chillers, and cooling towers. We also plan to offer training programs in cooperation with the manufacturers of these facilities.

Contractors who have already participated in the program have commented, "Initially, we had some reservations about water-cooled piping for data centers, but in reality, it's not that different from plant piping or building piping work."

Through this program, we aim to promote the widespread adoption of containerized data centers both domestically and internationally, foster technicians, and enable them to thrive in new business areas.

About Getworks Inc.: https://www.getworks.co.jp/

Our containerized data centers were first announced in 2013 and have continued to evolve through various demonstration experiments. We are not just building data centers in containers but are also working with local governments on various renewable energy initiatives (snow, water, outside air) with a focus on energy saving and the utilization of renewable energy.

We continue to build various types of data centers that respond to the environment of the installation location (climate, electricity, etc.) and customer needs. As of January 2026, we have a track record of building over 300 units (over 270 20ft units, over 30 40ft units). We have delivered to customers with stringent requirements, including major corporations, power companies, and hospitals. We can handle everything from site selection to various construction work (civil engineering, power, communications) and application procedures. We also support various subsidies and grants, which an increasing number of customers are utilizing in recent years.

Furthermore, due to the increasing demand for AI and high-speed computing, we have a track record of installing and operating over 3,000 servers and over 10,000 GPUs. Our fully in-house design and domestic production enable short delivery times and cost reductions, with delivery and operation possible as quickly as 10 days from application.
