NTT Facilities will begin construction of the “Products Engineering Hub for Data Center Cooling” as a verification facility for data center cooling systems. Completion is scheduled for April next year.
The facility will be the first in the industry to verify a variety of air conditioning equipment, including efficient data center cooling systems that use liquid-cooled servers, which are the mainstream in data centers for generative AI, and will also exhibit various types of data center air conditioning equipment.
Data centers that support generative AI require a system to effectively and efficiently cool high-performance, high-heat-generating GPU servers, and it is expected that liquid-cooled servers, which are cooled by cold plates by pumping coolant directly into the servers, will be introduced in the future.
