Data center cooling: Digital Realty launches Direct Liquid cooling 

Digital Realty, a leading provider of cloud and carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection solutions, has launched a new liquid-to-chip cooling colocation offering, which it says is available in 170 Digital Realty data centers across the world.

Digital Realty said the offering includes a range of mechanical solutions, such as rear door heat exchangers (RDHx) and DLC, offering power densities ranging from 30-150kW per rack and beyond.

In its statement, the company said, “The combination of RDHx with DLC effectively doubles the power densities that can be supported, empowering businesses to tackle the escalating demands of modern IT infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of AI by enterprises, through private, cloud and hybrid solutions.”

Digital Realty previously launched an Air-Assisted Liquid Cooling (AALC) offering,  in August 2023, a service available in 28 markets across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific, and offering densities of up to 70 kilowatts.

The company plans to ‘expand support to additional sites and to leverage existing infrastructure’ to meet emerging AI requirements.”

“We’re proud to align with our customers in evolving their infrastructure to support this cutting-edge liquid-to-chip technology, enabling them to land and expand their deployments efficiently and redefine what’s possible in the digital age. With this cutting-edge liquid-to-chip cooling technology, we’re not just setting a new standard for high-density deployment support, we’re revolutionizing the digital infrastructure landscape,” said Chris Sharp, Digital Realty CTO
