Data Center Infrastructure for the Age of AI
AI is transforming the data center. The infrastructure supporting it must evolve as well.
General Industries provides engineered storage solutions that support backup power, fuel resilience, water infrastructure, fire protection, and the critical systems behind always-on operations.

The rapid expansion of AI infrastructure is changing how data centers are designed and operated. Higher-density compute environments require more power, greater cooling capacity, and infrastructure designed to support continuous operations.
For today's data center operators, resilience is no longer just about redundancy. It's about ensuring every critical system is ready when it's needed.
Power Resilience
Keep mission-critical systems operating when primary power is unavailable.
Fuel Security
Support extended generator runtime with engineered fuel storage solutions.
Water Infrastructure
Support cooling, fire suppression, and operational water requirements.
Fire Protection
Protect critical infrastructure with engineered storage and containment.
Keep Backup Power Ready to Perform
GEN-TANK® Generator Base Tanks
Data centers depend on backup generators to maintain operations during utility disruptions. But generator reliability depends on having the fuel infrastructure required to support extended runtime.
GEN-TANK® generator base tanks integrate fuel storage directly into the generator support structure, helping operators maximize space while supporting emergency power requirements.
- Integrated generator support and fuel storage
- Extended emergency generator runtime
- Space-efficient infrastructure design
- Double-wall containment options
- Leak monitoring capabilities
- Custom-engineered configurations
- Designed for mission-critical applications
Backup Power Is Only as Reliable as Its Fuel Supply
Extended outages, severe weather events, grid instability, and infrastructure disruptions can all put pressure on emergency power systems.
The question isn't simply whether backup generators are installed. The question is:
How long can they keep running?
Protecting Mission-Critical Infrastructure
FIREGUARD® Protected Tanks
Fuel storage near mission-critical infrastructure requires a higher level of protection.
FIREGUARD® tanks are engineered for demanding applications requiring enhanced fire protection and secondary containment.
- UL-2085 protected tank configurations
- Enhanced fire protection
- Secondary containment
- Leak monitoring capabilities
- Impact protection
- Custom tank configurations
- Large-capacity storage options
Supporting the Next Generation of Data Centers
AI workloads are also changing the conversation around water infrastructure. As data center campuses expand and cooling requirements evolve, operators must evaluate how water availability and storage fit into long-term infrastructure planning.
Fire Suppression
Support water availability for fire protection systems.
Cooling Infrastructure
Storage supporting facility cooling strategies and operations.
Potable Water
Water storage supporting facility operations.
Non-Potable Water
Industrial and operational water storage applications.
Rainwater Storage
Support site water management and sustainability strategies.
Custom Applications
Engineered around specific project and facility requirements.
Compliance Is Part of the Infrastructure
Data center projects operate within increasingly complex regulatory, environmental, and safety environments. Compliance should be integrated into infrastructure planning from the beginning.
UL
Storage tank and protection requirements.
NFPA
Fire safety and liquid storage considerations.
IFC
International Fire Code requirements.
Containment
Environmental and leak protection.
Custom
Project-specific engineering requirements.
AI Is Raising the Bar for Resilience
The next generation of data centers will require infrastructure designed to support greater density, complexity, and operational demands.
More Power Dense
AI and accelerated computing require significantly greater energy infrastructure.
More Distributed
Regional and edge facilities are expanding critical infrastructure footprints.
More Complex
Power, cooling, water, and fire protection systems must work together.
More Dependent on Uptime
As AI becomes embedded in business operations, downtime becomes increasingly costly.
