Vertiv launches High-Density Prefabricated Modular Data Center Solution to accelerate global deployment of AI Compute

Published

on

Vertiv

With demand for AI-ready data center capacity outstripping supply, developers and operators are focused on bringing new capacity online as quickly as possible. To support this goal, Vertiv recently launched the Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip, a liquid cooling-equipped prefabricated modular (PFM) data center solution engineered to enable efficient and reliable AI computing. The solution can be configured to support the platforms of leading AI compute providers and scaled to customer requirements. By bringing together the quality and process efficiency enabled by offsite fabrication with best-in-class AI-ready technologies, MegaMod CoolChip can reduce the time to deploy AI critical digital infrastructure by up to 50%.

Building on Vertiv’s experience developing other prefabricated modular data centers, MegaMod CoolChip is designed to address the specific requirements of AI compute through a turnkey solution that integrates Vertiv CoolChip technology to support direct-to-chip liquid cooling, high-efficiency power protection and distribution, and other critical digital infrastructure technologies. The solution is available globally and can be used as a modular retrofit of an existing facility or as a new freestanding data center, supporting up to hundreds of kilowatts per row, up to multiple megawatts with prefabricated units.

“MegaMod CoolChip is a fully equipped critical digital infrastructure solution that customers can deploy quickly, and with confidence,” said Viktor Petik, vice president of Vertiv infrastructure solutions. “Factory assembly and testing in a controlled environment help to accelerate the time to build, as well as providing control over cost and schedules. The addition of this solution to our portfolio provides more flexibility to successfully accelerate AI.”

Designed for AI Compute

According to the latest research by Omdia, demand for prefabricated modular and micro data center solutions has been accelerated by AI, with Vertiv being cited as a global leader. Vertiv engineers have applied successful learnings around prefabricated solutions and the needs of AI deployments to the development of Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip solutions, to support the AI requirements of today – and tomorrow. Key features of the solution include:

  • High-density compute: MegaMod CoolChip supports IT systems from the customer’s chosen AI compute provider, including accelerated computing platforms, integrated into equipment racks with integrated plumbing and high-density Vertiv rack power distribution units (rPDUs). Customer selected integrated racks from AI compute providers may also be consolidated into the prefabricated units.
  • High-density liquid cooling infrastructure: Vertiv chillers and cooling distribution units (CDUs) provide safe and efficient management of cooling fluids to and from the rack. MegaMod CoolChip uses direct-to-chip cooling for high-power CPUs and GPUs by managing heat removal from components not serviced by the direct-to-chip cold plates. The balance between liquid and air cooling is tailored to the design of the AI compute platform to optimize efficiency.
  • High-efficiency power protection and distribution: Vertiv power technologies provide power protection and distribution from the utility to the rack, including busway, switchgear, and compatibility with the high-efficiency Vertiv Trinergy uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and the Vertiv PowerNexus solution, which reduces the power system footprint through close coupling of the UPS and switchgear.
  • Modular assembly: MegaMod CoolChip arrives in prefabricated units, including the building enclosure and all building systems, that are assembled on site. It is also available in skid-mounted units, providing flexibility options for new builds, retrofits, and expansions. All of this is integrated in a clean and controlled factory environment, mitigating risks through assembly and testing processes.
  • Single-source accountability: From initial consultation through configuration, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and lifecycle services, Vertiv manages all aspects of solution development to streamline processes, reducing demands on customer resources, and providing cost and schedule efficiencies.

The Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip solution can also enable the sustainability goals of data center operators and developers. By employing highly efficient advanced technologies, such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling and the Vertiv power infrastructure, MegaMod CoolChip data centers can improve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) compared to data centers using traditional technologies, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.

Toshiba

On 14 February- Valentine’s Day, Toshiba Electronics Europe GmbH proposes to surprise your partner with a practical and stylish gift: the Canvio Flex, a multi-device hard drive for storing and sharing special memories.

Coinciding with the release of 2025, this portable external storage drive in 2.5-inch form factor has a new design and comes in a simple and elegant silver finish, making it a functional and beautiful gift.

Flexibility and compatibility are the distinguishing features of the Canvio Flex.

Even if you and your partner use different devices (Android or iOS smartphones, Mac, PC or different tablets) – with the Canvio Flex you can use just one hard drive to save and share your special moments. The drive can connect directly to these different devices via the included USB Type-C or Type-A cable without reformatting.

This also makes the Canvio Flex a long-term companion because even if you change your devices, the Canvio Flex will continue to connect to any of them. Especially the direct connectivity to your smartphone and the ability to make backups make the Canvio Flex quite handy, as many photos and videos are nowadays taken with your mobile phone, as shown in this video.

Instead of expanding the capacity of your cloud storage service, you can take the Canvio Flex with you for quick and easy backups directly from your smartphone, desktop, laptop or tablet, wherever you are, without an internet connection, so you’ll always have all your special memories – whether they’re text files, music, photos or videos – safe and secure for quick and easy sharing. With its plug-and-play philosophy and USB3.2 Gen 1 interface, the Canvio Flex offers fast data transfer speeds of up to 5Gbps.
