Vertiv Expands MegaMod HDX for AI Data Centers
Key Highlights
- The systems support pod-style AI deployments and high-performance GPU clusters with high rack density requirements.
- MegaMod HDX integrates direct-to-chip liquid cooling with air-cooled systems to manage thermal loads in high-density computing environments.
- Configurations support power capacities ranging from 1.25 MW to 10 MW, depending on model.
Vertiv announced new configurations of the Vertiv™ MegaMod™ HDX, a prefabricated power and liquid-cooling infrastructure system designed for high-density computing environments, including artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). The new configurations are intended to address increasing power and cooling requirements while supporting modular deployment. The models are available globally.
Vertiv MegaMod HDX combines direct-to-chip liquid cooling with air-cooled architectures to support high-density workloads, including pod-style AI environments and GPU clusters. The compact configuration features a standard module height, supports up to 13 racks, and delivers up to 1.25 MW of power capacity. The combo configuration uses an extended-height design, supports up to 144 racks, and delivers power capacity of up to 10 MW. Both configurations support rack densities ranging from 50 kW to more than 100 kW per rack.
The systems use hybrid cooling architectures that integrate liquid and air cooling to manage thermal loads associated with high-density computing. The prefabricated modular design is intended to support faster deployment and phased expansion as capacity requirements increase.
"Today's AI workloads demand cooling solutions that go beyond traditional approaches. With the Vertiv MegaMod HDX available in both compact and combo solution configurations, organizations can match their facility requirements while supporting high-density, liquid-cooled environments at scale." said Viktor Petik, SVP, Infrastructure Solutions at Vertiv.
MegaMod HDX incorporates distributed redundant power architecture to maintain operation if a module is taken offline. A buffer-tank thermal backup system is included to support temperature stability during maintenance activities or load changes. The systems are factory integrated and tested prior to deployment.
The MegaMod HDX configurations can incorporate components from Vertiv’s power, cooling, and monitoring portfolio, including the Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2 uninterruptible power supply (UPS), Vertiv™ CoolChip CDU cooling distribution unit, Vertiv™ PowerBar busway system, and Vertiv™ Unify infrastructure monitoring platform.
