Vertiv hybrid data centre cooling solution

UK: Vertiv has announced new configurations of its MegaMod HDX, a prefabricated power and liquid cooling infrastructure solution engineered for high-density computing environments.

The Vertiv MegaMod HDX integrates direct-to-chip liquid cooling with air-cooled architectures to meet the intense thermal demands of AI workloads, supporting pod-style AI environments and advanced GPU clusters. 

The new compact solution has a standard module height and a maximum of 13 racks and power capacity up to 1.25MW; the combo solution has an extended-height design with a maximum of 144 racks, supporting power capacities up to 10MW. Both can support rack densities from 50kW up to more than 100kW per rack. 

The prefabricated modular designs enable accelerated deployment and allow customers to scale their data centres as demand grows.

The solutions feature distributed redundant power architecture enabling continuous operation even if one module goes offline. Additionally, the buffer-tank thermal backup system allows GPU clusters to maintain stable operations during maintenance or load transitions.
