As data centers deploy emerging digital services and high-performance computing (HPC) technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and advanced data analytics, they face rising rack power densities of over 20 kilowatts (kW), with extreme density racks reaching 80kW or higher. Increasing power density leads to higher heat generation, which demands more effective cooling solutions to prevent equipment failure and costly downtime.

At the same time, data center cooling accounts for 30 to 50% of total energy consumption. Rising energy prices and the need to comply with increasingly stringent energy consumption regulations and sustainability initiatives require highly efficient cooling solutions in addition to closely monitoring data center power.

Liquid cooling technology has emerged as a highly effective and efficient solution to these challenges. However, deploying these solutions on an ad hoc basis requires complex and costly reconfigurations and upgrades. Cabinet systems that use a modular, holistic approach to integrating thermal and power management facilitate cost-effective scalability for data centers to support increasing rack power densities while optimizing energy efficiency.

With a commitment to environmental sustainability and reducing the carbon emissions associated with data centers, Chatsworth Products collaborates closely with customers to deliver an integrated ZetaFrame Cabinet System with pre-installed thermal management and power management tailored to achieve power density requirements, comply with energy consumption regulations, and meet sustainability goals.
