The New Cooling Imperative

Data centers are under pressure to drastically increase IT power density while improving energy efficiency and reducing use of resources. Simultaneously, chip manufacturers face increasing pressure to create more powerful processors – processors that require more cooling power than what can be achieved with traditional air cooling.

Liquid cooling enables data centers – to accommodate generative AI and HPC workloads that require unprecedented amounts of cooling capacity, even at the edge. Moreover, sustainability transparency for data centers is becoming mandatory rather than just a consideration. These changes are driving data centers to adopt liquid cooling for all or part of their facilities.

Made in the U.S.A.

The LiquidStack manufacturing site, R&D center and headquarters is located in Carrollton, Texas. In sourcing manufacturing enables a faster and more agile  response to the high global demand for liquid cooling being driven by r ultra-high TDP chips for generative AI and HPC workloads.

LiquidStack’s full range of liquid cooling solutions are manufactured on site. This includes our direct-to-chip Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), single phase and two phase immersion cooling solutions and the company’s MacroModular™ and MicroModular™ prefabricated data centers. The site also hosts a service training and demonstration center for customers and our global network of service engineers and partners.
