Vertiv™ liquid cooling services support and enhance the entire lifecycle of liquid cooling systems, from installation to fluid management and maintenance to digital services
Vertiv, (NYSE: VRT), a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, today introduced i Vertiv™ Liquid Cooling Services. An offering that provides customers with the tools to enhance system availability, improve efficiency and confidently overcome the evolving challenges associated with modern liquid cooling systems. The offer is already available internationally.
Vertiv has been providing services to early adopters at a regional level for over a year, refining best practices and gaining valuable insights that have allowed it to expand the capabilities of liquid cooling services on a global scale. This experience has allowed us to acquire a solid and proven approach, capable of providing data center operators worldwide with a specialized service based on concrete results and applications.
AI workloads are transforming the data center industry, driving significant increases in rack densities across sites, with 30kW racks becoming the standard and some going up to 120kW or more. Operators are faced with higher thermal loads and power densities, requiring liquid cooling systems to maintain operational continuity.
“The increasing reliance on liquid-cooled AI servers requires a comprehensive approach to lifecycle management,” said Sean Graham, research director of cloud and data centers at IDC. “Given the complexities of these cooling ecosystems, a robust service program is not only advisable, but a best practice to ensure both system availability and long-term operability.”
Vertiv's service offering for Liquid Cooling focuses on the seamless integration of liquid cooling systems with IT equipment and connected infrastructure. It includes installation and testing by expert personnel, ongoing maintenance with specific attention to fluid management, their conservation and the prevention of air entering the system, a key factor for system reliability. Traditional maintenance activities are not adequate for the complexities of liquid systems that support AI applications. This offering leverages Vertiv's decades of industry experience and provides best practices in condition-based preventative maintenance to ensure reliable, efficient system performance and maximize availability.
