What is liquid cooling?
“Put simply, liquid cooling is a method of removing heat from IT equipment using liquid-based cooling technologies rather than relying solely on air cooling.”
Questions & answers
What is direct-to-chip liquid cooling?
“Direct-to-chip liquid cooling delivers coolant directly to the hottest components within a server, such as CPUs and GPUs. Using cooling plates attached to the chips, heat is captured at the source and transferred away more efficiently than traditional air cooling.”
What liquid cooling technologies are available in Global Switch data centres?
“Global Switch supports a wide range of advanced liquid cooling technologies, enabling customers to deploy high‑density, AI‑ready infrastructure.”
Does liquid cooling support AI workloads?
“AI workloads generate significantly more heat than traditional IT environments due to their intensive processing requirements and high GPU utilisation. Liquid cooling removes heat more efficiently at the source, helping to support the higher power densities, performance demands and scalability required by modern computing infrastructure.”
