Digital infrastructure and solutions company Vertiv said Oct. 8 that its 2.3-megawatt CoolChip coolant distribution unit (CDU) model meets the requirements of NVIDIA’s DSX Ready CDU program.
The NVIDIA DSX Ready program allows operators building AI factories to identify power and cooling products that meet relevant requirements for NVIDIA DSX. For CDU suppliers, individual products are evaluated using the NVIDIA CDU self-qualification suite to determine whether they meet the applicable functional requirements.
Because the verification is conducted by the suppliers themselves, customers adopting the products must separately evaluate whether a CDU meets the design, system configuration, and operational requirements of their facilities. The program, however, provides a more consistent framework for evaluating critical AI data center infrastructure from an integrated design perspective.
Vertiv said that computing, power, and cooling in AI data centers can no longer be designed and determined independently, adding that problems in one area can limit the performance and production capacity of an entire facility.
The 2.3MW Vertiv model that meets NVIDIA DSX Ready requirements is part of Vertiv’s liquid-to-liquid CDU portfolio and supports direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling and rear-door heat exchanger applications. It is also designed for installation at the end of a rack row or along the perimeter of a data center…
