New Solution Brief

Liquid cooling live in production before you deploy

At the densities AI and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads reach, air cooling runs into physical and economic limits, yet specifications and one-off vendor demos can’t show how liquid cooling performs in a real data center. At the Equinix® Enhanced Performance Innovation Center (EPIC), you can evaluate liquid cooling under live production conditions and work through deployment decisions with experts and partners before you commit.

What you’ll find inside:

 
  • See cabinets, coolant distribution units, manifolds and direct-to-chip cooling components operating live, so you understand how they fit your environment.
  • Evaluate integrated liquid cooling stacks inside a live Equinix data center, the same setting where your infrastructure will ultimately run.
  • Assess partner and OEM liquid cooling approaches side by side in a single Equinix environment to see how systems integrate and get to deployment faster.
  • Start with a single rack or a small proof of concept and scale within the same EPIC location, building on proven results as your requirements grow.
  • Plan design, installation, commissioning, monitoring, redundancy and maintenance with experts across 281 data centers in 77 markets and 36 countries.
