Research shows that the market for prefabricated modular and micro data centers will reach $11.7 billion by 2027, fueled by the need to speed-up data center builds in the wake of the AI boom.

Among the frontrunners of this drive in market growth is Vertiv. Vertiv essentially brings together hardware, software, analytics and ongoing services to enable its customers’ vital applications to run continuously, perform optimally and grow with their business needs.

Vertiv solves important challenges facing today’s data centers, communication networks and commercial and industrial facilities with a portfolio of power, cooling and IT infrastructure solutions and services that extends from the cloud to the edge of the network.

To meet the demand for AI-ready data center capacity outstripping supply, Vertiv announced it will assist developers and operators with the launch of the Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip, a liquid cooling-equipped prefabricated modular data center solution engineered to enable efficient and reliable AI computing.

MegaMod CoolChip is a prefabricated data center solution designed to meet the demanding cooling and power requirements of modern AI workloads. The solution integrates high-density compute, liquid cooling infrastructure and power protection into a single, modular package. By combining advanced technologies like direct-to-chip cooling and high-efficiency power systems, MegaMod CoolChip improves data center efficiency and reduces environmental impact.

The solution’s modular design accelerates deployment and reduces on-site construction time. Vertiv's approach, from design to installation and ongoing support, simplifies the process for customers. The prefabricated units can be customized to accommodate various AI compute platforms and are suitable for both new and existing data center facilities.

Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip also offers a sustainable and scalable infrastructure for AI applications. Its high-density capabilities and efficient cooling system address the critical challenges faced by data center operators, which allows them to optimize performance and reduce operational costs.

By bringing together the quality and process efficiency enabled by offsite fabrication with AI-ready technologies, MegaMod CoolChip can reduce the time to deploy AI critical digital infrastructure by up to 50%.

“MegaMod CoolChip is a fully equipped critical digital infrastructure solution that customers can deploy quickly, and with confidence,” said Viktor Petik, Vice President of Vertiv Infrastructure Solutions. “Factory assembly and testing in a controlled environment help to accelerate the time to build, as well as providing control over cost and schedules. The addition of this solution to our portfolio provides more flexibility to successfully accelerate AI.”
