SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Colovore will bring its newest liquid-cooled 9MW data center online in Santa Clara in December 2024 at 3060 Raymond Street. Immediately adjacent to its first data center at 1101 Space Park Drive, SJC02 will support industry-leading power densities up to 250kW per cabinet and feature liquid-cooling wall-to-wall. The facility is optimized to support the deployments of AI, GPU, and heavy compute server infrastructure, and brings sorely needed capacity to the Silicon Valley data center market which is significantly constrained by lack of available power.
Like all Colovore data centers, each cabinet will be delivered with a primary liquid loop connection, a rear door heat exchanger, and high-capacity power circuits, making it easy to deploy advanced AI/ML systems at scale. All cabinets can support direct liquid cooled server connections as a standard offering, providing a robust and easy solution for customers looking to deploy NVIDIA NVL 72 or other similar water-cooled server platforms that most data centers are not designed to support. Customers can deploy in increments as small as a single cabinet, or up to multiple MW of contiguous capacity.
The rise in AI compute has put a strain on legacy, air-cooled data center designs which are struggling to handle the power required and intense heat loads generated by these modern servers. From its inception 12 years ago, Colovore was designed from the ground-up with liquid cooling in order to deliver reliable, robust and scalable power and cooling capacities in every cabinet. Customers have benefitted from the significant reduction in TCO, improved application performance, and easy scalability achieved by the ability to deploy their servers at Colovore in the smallest footprint possible. And demand for AI-optimized, liquid-cooled colocation is exploding, fueling Colovore’s expansion in Silicon Valley, as well as new markets including Reno and Chicago.
“We are staying ahead of AI and compute hardware needs with our robust power and liquid cooling design which we’ve now been successfully operating for 12 years,” said co-founder Ben Coughlin, “and we’re delighted to bring much needed capacity to the constrained Silicon Valley market.”
“Our newest facility at 3060 Raymond is an evolution of our core design that will make it easy for enterprise clients to deploy the most advanced AI compute infrastructure,” added co-founder Peter Harrison. “Customers from Fortune 500s to startups are investing significant money in their AI applications and services, but the reality is there are few data centers specifically engineered to support that infrastructure—and this is our specialty.”
In partnership with its new investor King Street, Colovore is expanding its data center footprint nationally and has already announced new facilities planned in Reno and Chicago, with more markets on the way.
