The Brain
The operating system for decentralized computing
Hinterland Hack 2026 · Challenge aurivolt
THE NEED
Europe needs more computing power.
And computing power needs data centers.
≈ 7 GW
2020
≈ 12 GW
2025
≈ 35 GW
2030
Power for data centers in Europe (IT load, approx.). 2030: McKinsey (Oct 2024, via Reuters) · 2025: ENTSO-E (12.7 GW) · 2020: back-calculated with ~12% annual growth (IEA)
THE PROBLEM
Big data centers are hard to build.
Sources: Rheinenergie via Clean Energy Wire (grid connection 10–15 years) · ingenieur.de / VDI (Oct 8, 2026) · hessenschau.de (July 8, 2026), ≈ €3 bn via DatacenterDynamics
AURIVOLT’S ANSWER
So we build many small ones.
THE CATCH
But they need more maintenance.
The Brain
runs them like one data center.
UNDER THE HOOD
One Brain, a controller in every container.
The Brain
UNDER THE HOOD
When a container runs full.
The Brain
Container A
CPU 97 %
Container A
CPU 72 %
Container B
CPU 41 %
Container B
CPU 66 %
CONTAINER A
Brain, I’m overloaded. I need to hand something off.
THE BRAIN
OK. Send db-17 to container B. It has free capacity.
CONTAINER A
Hi B, here comes db-17. Live, no downtime.
DEMO
Live.
ONE MORE THING
Our first letter of intent.
A container site in Bielefeld. Signed this weekend.
TRY IT
Watch the Brain at work.
