MicroLink × Anthropic
MicroLink holds development positions across four energized industrial sites in the United States. On a high level indication of one or two preferred sites, MicroLink will submit a full proposal covering partner scope, engineering cost and delivery timeline.

One structure across all four
MicroLink Data Center Design
Our partnersEvery site deploys the same way: factory built power and cooling blocks, integrated and tested off site, then lifted into place, so the campus scales by repetition rather than by rebuilding.
We build to 1.25 MW Vertiv aligned blocks. Power, UPS, switchgear and cooling arrive as prefabricated skids and modules, integrated in the factory, which removes up to half the on site work and holds build quality to a single standard across all four sites.
On site, the blocks drop into a prefabricated shell and tie into the SmartRun overhead busway, which carries an 800 VDC ready path to the rack. Liquid cooling runs to roughly 130 kW per rack through the CoolChip distribution units. The campus grows one block at a time, so first revenue does not wait for the full build.
How we work
MicroLink is not a data center company that happens to think differently. It's a group of people who assume that whatever they've been handed can be done better, and who happen to be applying that to data centers first. The same instinct applies to procurement, to design, to how capital gets structured, to how a community is brought into a project. Nothing arrives here with the right to stay as it is. If something crosses your desk and you can see what's missing, that's not a distraction from the work. That is the work.
