GPU servers and AI racks for Bay Area teams, built and tested in San Jose

What TORmem does locally

Each build is specified with you. The L10 vs L11 guide explains where a tested server ends and a tested rack begins, and the L11 rack integration page covers what is validated before a rack leaves the facility.

Silicon Valley data centers: power and density decide the rack

The local constraint is rarely floor space. It is the power and cooling a specific cage can deliver, and that differs sharply between facilities a few miles apart.

• Published figures for Santa Clara colocation range from about 30 kW per rack as standard at some sites to 50 kW standard and up to 250 kW with direct liquid cooling at Colovore (Colovore, Nov 2024).
• Santa Clara’s municipal utility is upgrading its grid through 2028, and completed data centers have been reported waiting for power (Fortune, Nov 2025).
• The contracted circuit, not the facility headline, sets how many GPUs a rack can hold. Check the design against that circuit before the BOM is final.

The Santa Clara page compares published per-rack figures. The GPU rack power guide covers dual feeds, metering and UPS questions to put to the facility.

From brief to a running rack

1. Brief: workload, GPU and quantity, target data center and contracted power per rack.
2. Site check: circuits, cooling, rack depth, dock access and receiving rules at the facility.
3. Build and burn-in in San Jose: configuration, firmware, cabling and the agreed test plan.
4. Delivery: TORmem brings the tested hardware to the data center and coordinates receiving with its operations team.
5. Installation and acceptance: racking, power-up, fabric bring-up and the acceptance tests agreed in writing.
6. Handover: test records, as-built cabling and power maps for your operations team.

The GPU cluster acceptance guide lists the evidence to ask for at handover.

Bay Area locations

• San Jose: TORmem’s integration facility, in-person hardware evaluation, and data centers in the city.
• Santa Clara: delivery and installation into Silicon Valley’s densest colocation cluster, with per-rack limits compared.
• Teams elsewhere in the Bay Area, including Fremont, the Peninsula and San Francisco, are served from San Jose with the same delivery and on-site installation.

Frequently asked questions

Is TORmem based in the Bay Area?

Yes. TORmem is headquartered in San Jose, California. Its engineering team and integration facility are there, and L10 servers and L11 racks are built, burned in and tested in San Jose before delivery.

Does TORmem deliver GPU racks to Bay Area data centers?

Yes. TORmem delivers integrated servers and racks to Bay Area data centers itself and coordinates receiving, dock access and escorts with the facility’s operations team. TORmem is independent of the colocation operators; you contract the space directly.

Can TORmem install the hardware on site?

Yes. TORmem engineers rack, cable, power up and bring up the hardware at your site, then run the acceptance tests agreed in writing before the order. The scope of on-site work is set per project.

Can we see TORmem hardware before ordering?

Yes. You can arrange a visit to the San Jose facility to see and evaluate TORmem hardware such as the M1000 memory appliance and TORswitch. Bring a representative workload if you want to scope a proof of concept.

Does TORmem only work with Bay Area customers?

No. Local delivery and on-site installation are available across the Bay Area. For sites elsewhere, delivery and on-site scope are agreed per project.

How long does a Bay Area rack build take?

It depends on the platform, GPU availability, the test plan and the facility’s receiving schedule. TORmem quotes the timeline per project once the configuration and site are known.
