Solution available in 170 Digital Realty data
centers globally
AUSTIN,
Texas, May 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital
Realty (NYSE: DLR), the largest global provider of cloud- and
carrier-neutral data center, colocation, and interconnection
solutions, today announced the availability of groundbreaking
liquid-to-chip cooling technology, the next evolution in
high-density deployment support. This innovative advancement
represents a significant leap forward in addressing the evolving
challenges of managing high-density workloads, particularly in the
realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-intensive
applications.
The new offering from Digital Realty, which builds upon the
company's standardized high-density colocation offering, introduces
direct liquid cooling (DLC), bringing liquid directly to customers'
infrastructure, allowing for greater relevance and versatility in
meeting emerging AI demand. This approach enables businesses to
deploy high-density configurations within a shared environment, in
close proximity to the cloud, as well as network and AI service
providers, while accommodating the distinct needs of individual
setups, providing additional flexibility to customers. Furthermore,
Digital Realty's recently announced Private AI Exchange (AIPx) allows for new data exchange
options in support of these DLC-enabled solutions.
Key highlights of Digital Realty's advanced high-density
deployment support include the ability to leverage a wide range of
mechanical solutions, such as rear door heat exchangers (RDHx) and
DLC, enabling the efficient management of power densities ranging
from 30 to 150 kilowatts per rack, and beyond. The combination of
RDHx with DLC effectively doubles the power densities that can be
supported, empowering businesses to tackle the escalating demands
of modern IT infrastructure and accelerate the adoption of AI by
enterprises, through private, cloud and hybrid solutions.
Digital Realty's solution is designed to be both flexible and
accessible. Deployment options are available in more than
half of Digital Realty's data centers worldwide, with plans to
expand support to additional sites and to leverage existing
infrastructure to meet emerging AI requirements.
"We're proud to align with our customers in evolving their
infrastructure to support this cutting-edge liquid-to-chip
technology, enabling them to land and expand their deployments
efficiently and redefine what's possible in the digital age. With
this cutting-edge liquid-to-chip cooling technology, we're not just
setting a new standard for high-density deployment support, we're
revolutionizing the digital infrastructure landscape," said
Chris Sharp, Chief Technology
Officer, Digital Realty.
"AI is revolutionizing nearly every aspect of every industry. By
working with great partners like Digital Realty, we're helping
enterprises of any size on their AI journeys. The Lenovo-Digital
Realty partnership forms a critical cornerstone of the hybrid AI
vision, enabling organizations to harness the full potential of
emerging technologies to deliver innovation faster," said
Scott Tease, Vice President and
General Manager of HPC and AI for Lenovo ISG.
"Organizations are increasingly investing in generative AI and
high-performance computing and need private, high-density
environments. Digital Realty's HD Colocation offering is a strong
response to the flourishing market need for high-density racks and
presents an ideal solution to significantly accelerate
time-to-value for these organizations, while avoiding the need for
lengthy and costly capital projects to build or retrofit new
capacity. This offering aligns with IDC's colocation provider
recommendations for the gen AI market," said Sean Graham, IDC Research Director, Cloud to
Edge Datacenter Trends.
The deployment process for this high-density solution is
streamlined and efficient, drawing on Digital Realty's extensive
experience in designing and delivering bespoke colocation solutions
for customers, helping to accelerate time-to-value.
