Cooling design for AI-driven environments is no longer a single-variable problem.
As rack densities rise, operators are navigating a more complex set of decisions — balancing temperature requirements, site conditions, and heat rejection strategies at the same time.
In this DCD Tech Talk, Maurizio Frizziero, Vice President of Chilled Water Solutions at Vertiv, joins James Roddings of Datacenter Dynamics to explore how operators assess heat rejection approaches, why server temperature requirements matter as much as heat load, and how system-level thinking helps navigate trade-offs across air, liquid, and hybrid configurations.
The conversation focuses on real operating constraints and why heat rejection decisions increasingly shape the broader data center design.

Rack densities over 100 kW make liquid cooling a practical requirement. Colocation providers are deploying direct-to-chip and rear-door heat exchangers, supported by computational fluid dynamics (CFD), digital simulations, and modular coolant distribution units (CDUs) to optimize piping layouts and balance airflow and liquid cooling.
Vertiv’s end‑to‑end systems and services extend thermal management from chip to heat reuse, supporting efficient operation today.

As AI workloads drive higher rack densities, cooling decisions have become more complex. Temperature limits, density profiles, and site conditions now play a larger role in how heat rejection systems are designed and operated.
In this DCD Tech Talk, James Roddings of Datacenter Dynamics speaks with Maurizio Frizziero, Vice President of Chilled Water Solutions at Vertiv, about how operators assess different heat rejection approaches, why flexibility matters, and how system level thinking supports AI driven environments.

Anyone can help deliver a system, but the future belongs to those who can deliver computational density. The real question: who can still improve performance after the system is live? Lifecycle assurance—with telemetry, predictive diagnostics, and operational intelligence linked to design intent—separates vendors from true partners.

AI workloads are changing how colocation sites design power and cooling. Rack densities now exceed 100 kW, load profiles shift quickly, and hybrid air and liquid cooling is becoming a practical requirement.
This perspective outlines how providers are adapting with advanced uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems, higher density power distribution, and coolant distribution units (CDUs), supported by Vertiv’s end-to-end infrastructure systems and services that help keep AI environments stable, efficient, and ready to scale.

Rear door heat exchangers (RDHx) remove heat at the rack, reducing the thermal load on room-level cooling systems and supporting liquid cooling for high-density environments. As part of Vertiv’s end-to-end systems and services, RDHx also helps operators keep performance predictable and space optimized for AI and HPC workloads.

AI workloads are pushing rack densities past 250 kW. Colocation providers are adapting with modular uninterruptible power supply (UPS) platforms, medium-voltage distribution systems, and grid-interactive energy storage, among others. These systems support fast load changes and higher capacity without disrupting existing infrastructure. Vertiv’s end‑to‑end systems and services support AI infrastructure from grid-to-chip and from chip-to-heat reuse, helping operators plan, deploy, and operate power architectures designed for long‑term growth.
