Cooling is entering a new era as AI, high-density compute, and sustainability demands reshape thermal strategy across the data-center. As GPUs are pushed well beyond the limits of traditional air systems, operators are rethinking everything from rack design to cooling media to ensure resilience, efficiency, and long-term scalability.

This supplement explores the technologies driving that shift, from OVHcloud’s novel Smart Data-center architecture capable of cooling thousands of servers with a single CDU, to the practical realities of immersion deployments, and the performance gains of next-generation thermal interface materials like carbon nanotube films.

Discover how data-center teams are using new cooling approaches to:

• Deploy liquid cooling at scale with simpler, more efficient CDU and rack designs
• Unlock higher rack densities through immersion while maintaining exceptional uptime
• Improve thermal transfer and system efficiency with advanced materials such as carbon nanotube-based interfaces
• Streamline installation, serviceability, and long-term maintenance with intelligent cooling loops and prefabricated TCS systems
