'And still of a winter's night, they say when the wind is in the trees When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas When the road is a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, A highwayman comes riding Riding-riding- A highwayman comes riding up to the old inn door' (Alfred Noyes 1906/ art Charles Mikolaycak)

ARMADA RAISES $230M AT $2B VALUATION FOR MODULAR AI DATA CENTERS Armada builds modular data centers that can be deployed near power sources and run AI workloads on-site instead of sending data back to large cloud regions. The Series B was co-led by Overmatch, 8090 Industries and BlackRock. Johnson Controls also invested and signed a manufacturing deal with Armada. The companies plan to build modular AI data centers at a new 400,000-square-foot Arizona factory called Galleon Forge One. The factory is expected to create more than 500 jobs. Production will start with Leviathan, Armada’s megawatt-scale modular data center, this summer. Armada says bookings grew 540% from FY25 to FY26, and Q1 FY27 bookings were up roughly 2,000% YoY.
