Edge-First. Privacy-Driven. Strategically Located.
We are developing two edge data centers in western Sicily, positioned near major submarine cable landing stations. Each site is engineered for low-latency, private AI workloads and powered by renewable energy.
Our data centers embody our commitment to sustainability, sovereignty, and scalability:
Visualization: SicurAI's sustainable data center vision, featuring modular white buildings with integrated solar panels, optimized for the Mediterranean climate and designed for energy independence.
Strategic Locations: SicurAI's two data centers are strategically positioned in western Sicily - one near Palermo and one near Mazara del Vallo, both within close proximity to major submarine cable landing stations for optimal connectivity.
Sicily's unique geographic position places it at the center of Mediterranean connectivity, offering unmatched advantages for data infrastructure:
Figure 1: Sicily's strategic location with a 1,500 km radius highlighting its central position in the Mediterranean, providing optimal connectivity to key European, Middle Eastern, and North African markets.
Sicily's proximity to major submarine cable landing stations enables exceptional connectivity performance for AI and cloud workloads to key cities across multiple regions:

These low-latency connections make Sicily ideal for:
Figure 3: Sicily combines key advantages: proximity to Marseille's subsea connectivity, abundant renewable energy potential, and affordable land costs, positioning it as a rising data center market.
Sicily offers exceptional natural advantages for sustainable data center operations:
Our "behind-the-grid" concept flips the conventional paradigm:
SicurAI's energy architecture represents a fundamental shift in data center power systems. By prioritizing renewable energy and advanced battery storage, we've developed a resilient, sustainable infrastructure that reduces environmental impact while enhancing reliability.
Figure 1: SicurAI's integrated energy flow system connecting solar generation, BESS storage, grid power, and data center operations in a smart, balanced ecosystem.
The DAQ system outlined in the diagram enables the acquisition, storage, and visualization of environmental data in real-time, with secure remote access capabilities. In summary, it is a modern, secure, and flexible system, ideal for real-time monitoring, efficient storage, and intuitive visualization of environmental and operational variables.
Environmental data (temperature, humidity, pressure, etc.) is collected via Enviro Weather devices based on Raspberry Pi Pico and sent to the central node, a Raspberry Pi 5, using HTTP protocols. The Pi 5 stores the data in InfluxDB, which manages it as time series. Grafana periodically queries the database to present measurements on customizable dashboards. Remote users can securely access the data in real-time via VPN.
Figure 2: Implementing 100 MW of BESS capacity reduces diesel generator requirements by 38% while maintaining the same reliability for a 50MW data center.
Our battery energy storage systems (BESS) are central to our sustainability and reliability strategy, offering numerous operational and environmental benefits:
BESS deployment creates value across the energy ecosystem, benefiting various stakeholders while enhancing data center operations:
Figure 3: The multi-stakeholder benefits of BESS implementation, showing how battery systems create value for data center owners, grid operators, and utilities simultaneously.
Figure 4: Strategic approach to BESS adoption in data centers, highlighting the key factors driving implementation: renewable integration, large-scale deployments, and intermittency mitigation.
Our strategic approach to BESS deployment considers multiple factors to maximize both sustainability and business value:
Our energy systems are already operational in the field, proving the concept's viability and demonstrating the integration of renewable energy with data center operations:

Figure 6: Integrated renewable energy installation combining wind turbines, solar panels, and BESS storage to provide reliable, sustainable power for data operations.
While solar power is our primary renewable source in Sicily due to the exceptional irradiance levels, our energy architecture is designed to incorporate multiple renewable sources:
Primary power source with highest solar irradiance in Italy (5.4 kWh/m²/day average).
1MW battery storage for load balancing, power smoothing, and backup during grid outages.
Dual-feed grid connection for Tier III-class reliability, used primarily as backup.
Environmental and system metrics monitoring through our advanced DAQ system in collaboration with Palermo University.
SicurAI is purpose-built for next-gen, Private AI workloads
Understanding the complete picture of why private AI infrastructure requires purpose-built data centers. Our approach addresses both the sovereignty needs of modern AI workloads and the technical requirements for optimal performance.

Real-world examples of organizations achieving transformative results with private AI deployments
Johns Hopkins Hospital
Johns Hopkins Hospital integrated SecureAI into their on-premises data centers, revolutionizing patient data analytics. SecureAI's Private AI platform enabled Johns Hopkins to swiftly analyze sensitive medical data, ensuring strict compliance with HIPAA and GDPR regulations.
With localized processing, doctors made quicker, more accurate decisions, improving patient outcomes while guaranteeing the highest levels of data security.
JPMorgan Chase
JPMorgan Chase adopted EdgeGuard AI's private, edge-based AI solution to tackle financial fraud head-on. By processing transaction data securely within their own facilities, JPMorgan instantly identified and prevented fraudulent activities.
The bank significantly enhanced its security posture and customer trust by ensuring sensitive financial data never left their secure network perimeter.
Caterpillar Inc.
Caterpillar integrated PredictEdge's private AI system to monitor equipment at their manufacturing plants. The AI-driven predictive maintenance allowed Caterpillar to anticipate equipment failures, significantly reducing downtime and operational costs. By analyzing proprietary data onsite, Caterpillar maintained full control and confidentiality, gaining substantial competitive advantage.
Lockheed Martin
Lockheed Martin partnered with StealthAI Solutions to deploy edge-based AI in tactical defense operations. This private AI technology provided real-time data analysis from multiple sensors directly in the field, offering unprecedented situational awareness to soldiers and commanders. Mission effectiveness improved dramatically as sensitive military information remained fully secured within local deployments.
National Grid
National Grid chose GridSmart AI's private AI solutions to enhance smart grid management. The deployment allowed National Grid to optimize real-time energy load balancing and swiftly detect grid faults, improving overall reliability and efficiency.
