LiquidStack’s new CDU was made for advanced computing applications including generative AI, large language models, and HPC. The product helps with the supply constraints in the direct-to-chip (DTC) liquid cooling segment. With an increased adoption of liquid cooling, the demand for standardized, DTC-optimized CDUs has grown exponentially. However, the company cites that the “availability of CDUs has been limited due to production capacity constraints, according to analyst firm Omdia”.
"With a singular focus on liquid cooling, we deliver unparalleled expertise and innovation, providing the most advanced solutions, such as the CDU-1MW, for data centers and high-performance computing environments,” said Joe Capes, CEO, LiquidStack. “Our company has been designing, manufacturing and servicing complex liquid to liquid heat exchange systems at scale for over a decade. With the ability to deliver products anywhere in the world from our US-based manufacturing facility, and our capability to provide mission-critical service response times in all major global markets, LiquidStack has quickly taken a leadership position in the direct-to-chip liquid cooling market.”
LiquidStack’s liquid cooling solutions have 1,350kW cooling capacity with “cutting-edge” coolant distribution methods to maximize efficiency, while also minimizing energy usage. “The universal CDU-1MW is ETL, CSA, and CE certified, as well as full-load tested by a third party. It caters to hyperscalers, colocation services companies, and large-scale enterprises seeking to implement DTC solutions as they shift to hybrid cooling.” With the CDU-1MW’s thermal management and enhanced performance and interoperability the product is energy efficient and lowers operational costs.
"Our exclusive commitment to liquid cooling ensures that LiquidStack products incorporate the latest advancements and best practices in cooling technology,” said Nick Schweissguth, Global Director of Product Management, LiquidStack. “The CDU-1MW is built to withstand the rigors of the highest performance environments, enabling large-scale data center operators to de-risk AI deployments via rapid integration to existing direct-to-chip systems.”
