The 63kW air con unit has been developed alongside Daikin
The increasing power density of AI and high-performance computing requires more efficient and robust cooling solutions, driving innovation in data center infrastructure.
Efficient cooling directly impacts operational costs, energy consumption, and the physical limits of deploying high-density compute, which is critical for the scalability of AI infrastructure.
This new unit offers a higher cooling capacity per footprint, potentially enabling more powerful and densely packed server rooms with lower energy overheads.

Data centers can now operate with higher power densities or improve their energy efficiency for existing loads.
Increased efficiency in data center cooling could slightly lower the energy footprint of training large AI models.
More efficient power and cooling infrastructure might accelerate the deployment of sovereign AI compute initiatives by making them more economically viable and sustainable.
