LIQUIDSTACK LAUNCHES FAMILY OF UNIVERSALLY COMPATIBLE COOLANT DISTRIBUTION UNITS
LiquidStack , a global leader in liquid cooling for data centres , has announced the availability of its CDU-1MW , a high-performance Coolant Distribution Unit ( CDU ) designed to be universally compatible with commercial direct-to-chip ( DTC ) solutions .
Built for advanced computing applications such as Generative AI , Large Language Models and HPC , LiquidStack ’ s new CDU offer addresses a critical market need by helping alleviate CDU supply constraints in the direct-to-chip liquid cooling segment .
As data centre adoption of liquid cooling scales , the demand for standardised , DTC-optimised CDUs has accelerated significantly . However , 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 centres and HPC 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 directto-chip liquid cooling market ,” added Capes .
LiquidStack ’ s innovative liquid cooling solutions are designed to effectively cool high-performance workloads while decreasing energy consumption . The universal CDU-1MW is ETL 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 .
It will provide hyperconnectivity to the main data centres in Malaysia and a cable landing station to accommodate the exponential growth of data traffic across these countries . Once completed , the new network will help TM expedite its adoption of AI to leverage automation for enhanced network performance and operations .
Powered by Nokia ’ s fifth-generation supercoherent Photonic Service Engine ( PSE-Vs ), the all-optical network will provide superior transmission performance over long distances , leading to improved capacity , scalability and interoperability while ensuring environmental sustainability through its low energy consumption per bit .
Nokia has been selected by TM to build a dedicated international optical Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing ( DWDM ) network – improving the management of growing data traffic and improving data centre connectivity .
The new DWDM network will act as an express route for crosscountry traffic , connecting the Malaysia-Thailand border to the Malaysia-Singapore border .
NOKIA ENHANCES TM ’ S INTERNATIONAL OPTICAL NETWORK
By transmitting signals over a single fibre optic cable , TM will be able to efficiently manage the massive volumes of data generated by hyperscalers . TM will also leverage the Nokia WaveSuite platform to optimise its network and operations .
John Harrington , Senior Vice President and Head of Asia Pacific Sales for Network Infrastructure , Nokia , said : “ Our best-in-class optical solutions will enable TM to provide a sustainable and world-class network experience to its end users in the region . Our technical lab in Malaysia , coupled with local manufacturing of DWDM gear , allows us to ensure the timely and smooth execution of this important project .”
