Rise of the “Just-in-Time” Data Center
Surging demand for AI capacity has reached a tipping point. Data center operators can no longer afford to wait two to three years to bring brick-and-mortar facilities online. Instead, they are turning to smaller, modular, prefabricated facilities that can be stood up in months or even weeks. Welcome to the era of the just-in-time data center. The rules have changed and so have the challenges.
An Efficient, Flexible, and Simplified Capacity Solution
Modular data centers are uniquely designed to simplify deployment, reduce project risk, improve build quality, and enable data center operators to add AI capacity where a purpose-built data center may not be practical.
These flexible containerized units range from about 160 – 340 ft2 and can be deployed wherever there’s power— at remote locations, on the edge, or as temporary solutions. Inside is just enough space for about a dozen racks, power system, and minimal support infrastructure. The container and components are often pre-built and tested in a controlled environment to minimize complexity and system integration.
The Heat Challenge is About More than Heat
Inside modular data centers, white space is shrinking as demand for GPUs keeps rising, pushing thermal loads beyond 60 kW per rack. Heat extraction is only part of the problem. Conventional cooling systems are bulky, power-hungry, and require additional infrastructure.
To solve the problem, start by rethinking the requirements for modular cooling:
- Cooling capacity > 60 kW per rack
- Standalone architecture
- Water-less technology
- Compact footprint
- Modular, scalable design
- Fast, easy deployment
OptiCool High-Efficiency, Water-Free Cooling Platform for Modular DCs
With a modular, compact footprint, breakthrough Delta4T technology, and self-contained architecture, OptiCool’s water-free cooling platform does a lot more than remove heat from the racks. It’s a powerful AI deployment strategy for pre-fab, modular data center.
- Shrink the cooling footprint and free up white space
- Eliminate complex infrastructure integration
- Speed deployment to support just-in-time AI expansion
- Dramatically reduce power usage and PUE
- Scale cooling capacity up to 120 kW per rack
- Adapt to fit virtually any modular DC configuration
Water-free, Compact, Hyper-Efficient
Typical Modular DC Cooling System
OptiCool 2-Phase Cooling Platform
With patented Delta4T™ technology, rear-door heat exchangers, and small footprint, OptiCool’s modular platform eliminates chilled water plants, holding tanks, and air-handling systems, and does what chilled water loops can’t.
- Cooling capacity > 60 kW per rack
- Standalone architecture
- Water-less technology
- Water-less technology
- Water-less technology
Cooling Beyond the Racks
With thermal capacities up to 120 kW per rack, the OptiCool platform doesn’t just cool the inside of the of cabinet. Any additional unused cooling capacity can be used to actively manage the thermal environment of the entire IT container.
So, you can:
- Improve thermal stability
- Improve system reliability
- Reduce heat accumulation
- Maintain optimal operating conditions
