Optimized Data Center Solutions for a Sustainable Future

The latest wave of AI applications, data streaming technologies, and machine learning capabilities have unlocked new levels of performance for data-driven organizations. However, they also place an ever-increasing burden on data centers. The immense electric power requirements and heat generated from systems have pushed data centers to seek innovative ways to solve their power and cooling challenges while ensuring 100 percent uptime and optimizing their power use effectiveness.

nVent (NYSE: NVT) thrives on its century-long experience in addressing urgent challenges for its customers while upholding the highest levels of reliability, efficiency, and quality in its products without compromising on safety and security. nVent is a leading global provider of modular and compatible data center products that optimize efficiency and reduce the cost of ownership. Its range of standard, modified, and completely custom-built solutions include networking and server racks, cooling systems, power management, monitoring and access control technology, leak detection, and cable support and pathways. nVent’s solutions are designed to help clients keep network infrastructure and data center systems up and running while staying in step with data storage growth and anticipating future IT infrastructure requirements.

Specializing in both air and liquid cooling, nVent offers solutions for physical security, cooling efficiency, and power distribution, helping customers safely and efficiently deploy next-generation technologies. Many nVent customers are striving to efficiently deploy next-generation technologies in the data center. New workloads require new technologies that consume more power and generate more heat. nVent works with its customers to provide innovative cooling and power solutions that help achieve their specified data center efficiency requirements while maintaining uptime.

“Liquid cooling solutions drive more efficiency compared to traditional air-cooling methods. This helps our customers handle high heat loads and minimize the risks of system failures and data loss,” says Marc J. Caiola, vice president of Global Data Solutions at nVent.

nVent also recognizes the importance of scalability and protection for data centers to help customers build for the long term.

Data centers need to be able to accommodate growth and changes in demand. nVent’s advanced cooling solutions are highly scalable and designed to offer the best heat management for improved equipment life. For instance, CPUs and GPUs are key components in every data center that drive the highest heat loads. nVent’s solutions function to ensure optimal operating temperatures, removing heat quickly and efficiently to offer increased reliability in the long run.

nVent recently launched the CDU800 Coolant Distribution Unit, specified by a hyperscaler client to aid in adopting a new liquid-cooled server architecture. The nVent team identified the various constraints faced by the client and performed a test case analysis in its on-site lab to demonstrate the efficiency of the CDU800. Pleased by the results, the client decided to deploy a pilot consisting of multiple CDU800s to ensure adequate fluid pressure delivery to their infrastructure.

In its power distribution solutions, nVent focuses on maintaining consistency and quality of power delivery to rack-mounted equipment in data centers. Its reliable rack power distribution solutions (PDU), including A and B feed PDUs and dual PDUs within a rack, help ensure maximum uptime. nVent also delivers monitoring and sensor devices to provide 24/7 visibility into the data center environment.

nVent’s experienced team works with a wide spectrum of customers—from enterprises to hyperscale data centers—efficiently addressing their diverse needs and unique challenges. As a result of multiple voice-of-customer interviews, nVent developed a liquid-to-air cooling system that enables the deployment of bolt-on liquid cooling in a data center that is set up for air cooling. The liquid-to-air solution allows clients to build on their existing capacity without investing in new liquid coolant distribution infrastructure. In one instance, nVent was tasked with modifying its standard liquid-to-air cooling system to accommodate the customer’s unique operation specifications and requirements.

nVent utilizes its program management and engineering resources to collaborate with clients at a technical level and truly understand their expectations before offering solutions to meet their needs. It works with clients across all stages of data center projects, from specification, design, and manufacturing to quality control, performance testing, and deployment, all without taking the data center offline.

“At nVent, it is all about the customer. We are dedicated to creating industry-leading solutions for our customers and assisting them at every step of their data center journey,” says Caiola.

nVent has focused on driving sustainability both for customers and in its own practices. Its best-in-class solutions can help customers achieve energy efficiency and decarbonization goals, and its sustainable practices have earned nVent a Silver Sustainability Rating from EcoVadis.

In a quickly changing technological environment, nVent constantly challenges itself to innovate while remaining focused on the latest trends in the industry. The team drives ideas by solving customers’ problems, understanding their unmet needs, and translating them into solutions while ensuring scalability to accommodate future growth in high-performance computing applications.
