Silent-Aire

Silent-Aire designs, engineers and manufactures modular data centers and precision cooling systems for hyperscale customers, having deployed over 150MW of modular capacity. Johnson Controls acquired it in 2021 for roughly $870M, making it the cornerstone of JCI's data center cooling and modular business. That unit now underpins JCI's 2026 modular manufacturing partnership with Armada.

Ecosystem functionThe modular-cooling manufacturer whose acquisition by Johnson Controls shows how industrial conglomerates bought their way into the prefab AI supply chain rather than building organically — and now supplies the factory behind Armada's Leviathan.
