Armada and Johnson Controls Start Leviathan Production in Dublin

Nov 11, 2026
Armada and Johnson Controls have started continuous production of Leviathan modular data centers at a 90,000 square foot Johnson Controls facility in Dublin.

Armada and Johnson Controls announced in a press release that continuous production has begun at Galleon Forge Two in Dublin, Armada's first European manufacturing operation. The site spans 90,000 square feet within a Johnson Controls manufacturing facility and is supported by approximately 700 Johnson Controls engineers, technicians and other workers.

The companies completed the first Leviathan modular data center built at the Dublin site. The multi megawatt unit combines Armada computing infrastructure and software with Johnson Controls thermal management systems, including coolant distribution units, chillers and building controls.

The first unit will go to Fossefall in Norway. Fossefall placed an initial order for five Leviathan systems totaling more than 9 MW, with delivery of all five scheduled by the first quarter of 2027. Armada and Johnson Controls are targeting at least 500 MW of capacity in 2027.

Galleon Forge Two follows Galleon Forge One at a Johnson Controls site in Gilbert, Arizona, where continuous production is expected to begin in early 2027. The companies plan further manufacturing at a Johnson Controls site in Edmonton, Canada.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
