Measured, not claimed
Coral commits to publishing measured performance rather than modelled performance, and to commissioning independent third-party engineering validation of every performance claim it makes. Where a figure is modelled rather than measured, Coral labels it as modelled and publishes the derivation.
How to read every number on this website
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Coral spec | Stated in Coral's own technical specification. Publish as-is. |
| Coral derived | Calculated from Coral specification values, with the arithmetic available. |
| Coral modelled | Calculated by Coral as a planning assumption. Never presented as a fact. |
| Verified | Stated by a primary source: a vendor specification, a regulator, an investor filing or a peer-reviewed publication, with the citation given. |
| Industry norm | A figure widely used across the sector for this equipment class, not specific to Coral and not yet replaced by a Coral measurement. |
Every figure on CoralDC.com carries one of these five labels. If a number appears anywhere on this site without one, that is a defect and we would like to know about it.
What Coral commits to publishing
Fleet PUE and WUE, published continuously rather than as an annual claim.
Workload-level power consumption results submitted to the recognised industry AI benchmark suite, including the power measurement division.
Chiller-free hours achieved per climate zone, against the modelled prediction.
Thermal control performance: spike suppression, setpoint headroom released, and compute released per megawatt.
Fluid condition and service life against projection.
Heat delivered to offtakers, metered.
Digital twin deviation from measured.
Coral publishes results that do not favour Coral. A benchmark programme that only ever produces good news is not a benchmark programme.
What Coral can state today
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Maximum IT load, Coral OnPrem Series | 200 kW |
| Typical PUE, Coral OnPrem Series | 1.05 to 1.15 |
| Infrastructure overhead, Coral OnPrem Series | Under 6 percent |
| Cooling energy reduction | Up to 90 percent versus an air-cooled baseline |
| Floor space reduction | Up to 90 percent versus an equivalent air-cooled rack deployment |
| Water consumption reduction | Up to 90 percent versus an evaporatively cooled baseline |
| Edge Series overhead, dry cooler mode | Approximately 2.0 kW against roughly 12 kW IT load |
| Power density, Coral OnPrem Series | Approximately 78 kW per square metre of rack footprint |
Measured octave-band acoustic data, the Coral climate matrix, measured WUE by configuration, and the fluid fire point and insurance certificate are in production and are not published until they are measured. Where this site currently uses an industry norm in place of one of them, it says so.
Request the specification document
A consulting engineer can design a Coral pod into a building without a sales conversation. Ask for the current interface document and the change log.
