Vertiv Launches MegaMod HDX Cooling Pods Offering Up to 10 MW Capacity

VRTVRT

Vertiv announced new configurations of its MegaMod™ HDX modular liquid cooling solution, delivering capacity up to 10 MW and supporting rack densities from 50 kW to over 100 kW per rack. The compact model offers a 1.25 MW, 13-rack pod while the extended design supports up to 144 racks and 10 MW power, enabling rapid AI and HPC deployment across North America and EMEA.

1. Vertiv Expands High-Density Cooling Capabilities

On January 14, 2026, Vertiv unveiled two new configurations of its prefabricated Vertiv™ MegaMod™ HDX liquid-and-air hybrid cooling solution, designed to support AI and high-performance computing workloads. The compact module accommodates up to 13 racks with a maximum power capacity of 1.25 MW, while the extended-height “combo” supports up to 144 racks and 10 MW. Both configurations handle rack densities from 50 kW to over 100 kW per rack, enabling customers to scale rapidly without extensive on-site assembly. Integrated direct-to-chip liquid cooling and redundant power architectures ensure uninterrupted operation even during maintenance, while factory-tested modules promise consistent performance and reduced deployment risk across North America and EMEA.

2. Q3 Financial Results Highlight Accelerating Profit Growth

In its most recent quarter, Vertiv reported a 63% year-over-year increase in adjusted earnings per share, driven by strong order momentum in hyperscale data center infrastructure. Management raised full-year revenue guidance to $10.2 billion and EPS guidance to $4.10, supported by a book-to-bill ratio of 1.4x and a backlog of $9.5 billion. Growth was broad-based, with data center solutions—accounting for 80% of sales—leading the charge, reflecting sustained demand for critical power and cooling hardware amid expanding AI deployments.

3. Market Leadership in AI Infrastructure Ecosystem

Vertiv’s end-to-end portfolio—encompassing Liebert® uninterruptible power supplies, CoolChip cooling distribution units, PowerBar busway systems and OCP-compliant racks—positions the company as a go-to partner for hyperscalers and colocation providers. With operations in over 130 countries and a global service network, Vertiv leverages scale to offer guaranteed performance SLAs and accelerate green-field data center builds. Analysts note that Vertiv’s specialized focus on AI-ready infrastructure creates a widening moat versus diversified peers, as hyperscale operators integrate liquid cooling at the planning stage to meet rising rack power densities and sustainability targets.
