Vertiv Launches MegaMod HDX Cooling Pods with 10MW Capacity for AI Data Centers
Vertiv introduced new configurations of its prefabricated MegaMod HDX cooling pods, offering up to 10MW capacity and supporting rack densities of 50–100+ kW, with compact (13 racks, 1.25MW) and extended (144 racks, 10MW) modules now available globally. Its hybrid liquid-and-air design includes redundant power architecture to expedite AI/HPC deployments.
1. Vertiv Debuts High-Density MegaMod HDX Cooling Solution
Vertiv has launched new configurations of its Vertiv™ MegaMod™ HDX modular liquid cooling infrastructure, offering scalable capacity from 1.25 MW in a compact, 13-rack configuration up to 10 MW in an extended-height, 144-rack combo solution. Both models support rack power densities ranging from 50 kW to over 100 kW per rack and integrate direct-to-chip liquid cooling with hybrid air-cooling architecture. The prefabricated pods feature a distributed redundant power design, ensuring continuous operation if a module goes offline, and include a buffer-tank thermal backup system to maintain stable GPU cluster performance during maintenance or load shifts. Vertiv’s global service network backs the factory-integrated, fully tested components, including Liebert® APM2 UPS units, CoolChip CDU cooling distribution units, and PowerBar busway systems, enabling rapid deployment and cost-predictable scaling for AI and high-performance computing data centers.
2. Strong AI-Driven Order Momentum and Financial Performance
In its most recent quarterly report, Vertiv reported adjusted EPS growth of 63% year-over-year, driven by robust demand for AI-optimized power and cooling solutions. The company raised its full-year guidance to $10.2 billion in revenue and $4.10 in EPS, reflecting accelerated sales in hyperscale data center infrastructure. Vertiv achieved a 1.4x book-to-bill ratio and ended the quarter with a $9.5 billion backlog, highlighting strong order intake from cloud and AI operators. Approximately 80% of Vertiv’s revenues now derive from data center customers, underscoring its dominant position in the AI infrastructure ecosystem and the widening moat built on specialized power, cooling and monitoring offerings.
