CoolIT Systems a developer of modular, scalable data centre liquid cooling technology, has announced a strategic agreement with nVent, a provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. As part of the commercial agreement, CoolIT will be able to provide customers with a larger, more effective product portfolio while also gaining access to a global manufacturing footprint. Both parties remain independently owned and operated.
As millions of data servers are installed worldwide each year, the heat density of equipment in high performance data centres continues to drive the needs for more efficient and effective cooling technologies. With this strategic alliance between CoolIT and nVent, customers will benefit from a combined offering from two data centre industry leaders that provide integrated and tested liquid cooling solutions.
'CoolIT’s technology complements nVent’s liquid cooling product offering, and provides customers with solutions from outside the rack all the way to the chip,' said Joe Ruzynski, president of Enclosures for nVent. 'This alliance marks a new chapter in our data center cooling evolution, and presents compelling growth opportunities for both companies.'
'Liquid cooling has become the new standard for scalable energy efficient data center deployments,' said Patrick McGinn, executive vice president of business operations at CoolIT Systems. 'This commercial partnership with nVent positions CoolIT to better serve the data center industry with deep combined knowledge and the ability to provide comprehensive designs, solutions and services to our customers.'
