XDU Liquid Cooling Drop-In Retrofit Solution for Data Centers – Vertiv
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Vertiv introduced the Liebert® XDU, a thermal management system that supports an entire cabinet of liquid-cooled servers and enables drop-in retrofits in air-cooled data centers. As more and more data centers house high-performance computing applications, such as data analytics and machine learning, rack densities and temperatures are exceeding the cooling capabilities of traditional air-cooled solutions. The Liebert XDU enables the deployment of liquid cooled server applications into any data center environment. The system is available currently in North America.
“Many data centers aren’t prepared to support the cooling needs of high-performance workloads and are finding that innovation is disrupting normal business operations within the datacenter,” said Jennifer Cooke, research director, cloud to edge data center trends for IDC. “A liquid cooling solution, such as the Liebert XDU, is a compelling option because it delivers the advantages and efficiencies of liquid cooling without a complete datacenter retrofit.”
