Liquid Cooling for Colocation Providers
Enable high-density AI deployments for your customers
Colocation providers must support a wide range of customer requirements while integrating liquid cooling into existing and new environments.
Key Challenges
Extreme rack density
Serving diverse tenant requirements: Colocation providers must support tenants with a wide range of rack densities — from legacy air-cooled deployments to AI workloads exceeding 100 kW per rack — within a shared facility environment.
Liquid cooling in existing facilities
Most colocation facilities were not originally designed for liquid cooling — introducing CDU infrastructure into operating data centers requires solutions that minimize disruption to existing tenants and systems.
Flexible density support across zones
A single colocation facility may need to deliver anywhere from 10 kW to 150 kW+ per rack — requiring cooling infrastructure that can be configured flexibly across different zones and tenant requirements.
How LiquidStack Helps
In-row and perimeter CDU configurations
LiquidStack CDUs support multiple deployment architectures — giving colocation providers the flexibility to match cooling configuration to tenant density requirements and available floor space.
Designed to work within existing infrastructure
The CDU-1MW is engineered for integration into existing data center environments — compatible with facility water systems, BMS connections, and hybrid air/liquid cooling setups without requiring full facility redesign.
Cooling infrastructure that grows with tenant demand
As colocation customers expand their AI infrastructure, LiquidStack’s modular CDU platform scales alongside — enabling providers to grow liquid cooling capacity without disruptive infrastructure changes.
