We build robots to maintain AI data centers.
Just about everything else in a data center is software-controlled,but when a part fails, someone still has to work directly on the rack. With the new generation of AI data centers moving to 800V DC in the rack, that becomes a question of safety, and we think robots are the answer.
We focus specifically on dexterous manipulation problems rather than heavy lifting: cleaning and replacing optics, reconnecting copper cabling, and re-seating drives precisely.

Valarian builds infrastructure for organisations operating in high-trust, high-stakes environments. Our core product, ACRA, is a secure, compartmentalised backbone designed to run and protect mission-critical applications — now proven at the edge in portable GPU clusters as well as in the cloud and on-premise. We developed ACRA when existing infrastructure failed to meet real-world risk — where segmentation breaks down, audit trails disappear, and lateral movement cannot be contained.
Valarian is a UK-founded and UK-led company, and backed by leading defence and national security investors. We are a homegrown team with backgrounds across defence, secure communications, high-assurance systems, and enterprise software — engineers and operators who have worked in environments where a lost signal or a missed audit can carry real consequences. We design like users because we’ve been them.
