Vertiv has unveiled new configurations of its Vertiv MegaMod HDX, a modular power and liquid cooling solution tailored for high-density computing environments such as artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC). These configurations provide operators with the flexibility to address the growing demands for power and cooling while optimising space and deployment speed. Available globally, the MegaMod HDX is engineered to cater to escalating computational demands.
The MegaMod HDX integrates direct-to-chip liquid cooling with air-cooled systems to handle the intense thermal requirements of AI workloads. It supports pod-style AI environments and advanced GPU clusters. The compact version features a standard module height supporting up to 13 racks with a power capacity of 1.25 MW. In contrast, the combo solution, with an extended-height design, can accommodate up to 144 racks, offering power capacities up to 10 MW. Both configurations support rack densities from 50 kW to over 100 kW per rack, ensuring efficient thermal management and accelerated deployment.
Viktor Petik, Senior Vice President of Infrastructure Solutions at Vertiv, stated, “Today’s AI workloads demand cooling solutions that go beyond traditional approaches. With the Vertiv MegaMod HDX available in both compact and combo solution configurations, organisations can match their facility requirements while supporting high-density, liquid-cooled environments at scale. Our designs deliver what data centres need most — reliable performance, operational efficiency, and the ability to scale their AI infrastructure with confidence.”
The MegaMod HDX models boast a hybrid cooling architecture, combining direct-to-chip liquid cooling with adaptable air systems within an integrated, prefabricated pod. The distributed redundant power architecture ensures continuous operation even if one module fails. Additionally, a buffer-tank thermal backup system maintains stable GPU operations during maintenance or load shifts. This factory-integrated design guarantees consistent deployment precision and cost predictability for AI infrastructure scaling.
Vertiv’s extensive suite of power, thermal, and IT management solutions supports a variety of data centre architectures, enabling customers to meet increasing density demands with scalable, high-performance infrastructure. The MegaMod HDX configurations leverage this broader portfolio, including the Vertiv Liebert APM2 uninterruptible power supply, Vertiv CoolChip CDU cooling distribution unit, Vertiv PowerBar busway system, and Vertiv Unify infrastructure monitoring.
