<br />
<br />
Newly announced MCDU-70 delivers cooling for up to 2.5 megawatts (MW) of power without compromise, preserving full flow performance and facility pressure at gigawatt-scale <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
With centralized controls, Motivair’s CDU portfolio is scalable to 10MW and beyond to meet the demands of next-generation AI data centers <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Individual CDU capacities range from 105kW to 2.5MW, providing greater scalability and flexibility to data center operators globally <br />
<br />

<br />
Motivair by Schneider Electric, a leading innovator in liquid cooling technology for digital infrastructure, today introduced a new, industry-leading 2.5MW Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) designed to cool high-density data centers reliably, at scale. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The MCDU-70 is the highest-capacity CDU available from Motivair, and presents a breakthrough flexible and scalable solution for meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and gigawatt-scale AI Factories. Utilizing Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure software, Motivair’s CDUs operate as a centralized system—meeting today’s cooling requirements with the ability to scale to 10MW+ for next-gen HPC, AI and accelerated computing workloads. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Compact and efficient, the MCDU-70 is the newest addition to Motivair’s CDU line. Its capacity aligns perfectly with the needs of large-scale facilities, such as NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, where deployments target 10MW to reach gigawatt scale. At 2.5 MW each, six MCDU-70s can provide a 4+2 redundancy for these designs, and the unit’s capacity is fit to service NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap for the foreseeable future. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Further, the GPUs that power AI Factories generate 20 to 50 times more heat than traditional CPUs (Central Processing Unit), making liquid cooling a necessity in the AI era. Organizations deploying AI clusters are grappling with extreme rack power densities, which are projected to reach 1MW and beyond. Motivair by Schneider Electric enables customers to meet these demands and scale smarter with CDU models or custom...
