DTC is a hot segment in liquid cooling right now, a giant chunk of the SC23 show floor (and our Instagram feed) was dedicated to cooling. Data centers are on the lookout for standardized, DTC-optimized CDUs. LiquidStack’s answer? A range of CDUs that are versatile, powerful, and smart, making liquid cooling deployment quicker and cheaper.
LiquidStack’s Immersion Solution
Nick Schweissguth from LiquidStack points out that there’s no one-size-fits-all in liquid cooling. Data centers must consider location, workloads, sustainability, budget, and more. He says many will mix air and liquid cooling for a while. LiquidStack’s universal CDUs for DTC are part of their plan to cover all liquid cooling bases.
These CDUs are a big deal for heavy-duty computing needs. They’re smart, efficient, and come with advanced management features. They’re a good fit for big players and colocation firms looking to scale up their DTC game as they shift to hybrid cooling setups.
Here’s the scoop on LiquidStack’s CDUs:
- Capacity: You’ve got options – 800kW, 1.2MW, and 1.5MW.
- Efficiency: They’re built for DTC and can handle high water temps on both tech and facility sides.
- Smart and Serviceable: Comes with intelligent controls, easy-to-service pumps, valves, flow meters, and sensors for temperature and pressure.
- Universal Fit: These CDUs can work with almost any water-based DTC setup.
- Expandable Resiliency: You can choose N or N+1 redundancy for reliable, resilient operations.
- Clever Design: They’re compact, quiet, and easy to access for installation and service.
You can pre-order these CDUs starting December 1, 2023, for delivery in the second quarter of 2024.
