Insights
Vertiv's launch of the MegaMod CoolChip solution marks a significant advancement in data center infrastructure, particularly for AI compute deployments. This prefabricated modular (PFM) data center solution addresses several critical challenges in the rapidly expanding AI market:
- Accelerated Deployment: With the potential to reduce deployment time by up to
50% , this solution directly addresses the urgent demand for AI-ready data center capacity. - Scalability and Flexibility: The modular design allows for easy scaling and adaptation to various AI compute platforms, catering to diverse customer requirements.
- Advanced Cooling Technology: The integration of direct-to-chip liquid cooling is important for managing the intense heat generated by high-density AI workloads, potentially improving energy efficiency.
- Comprehensive Solution: By incorporating power protection, distribution and cooling systems in a pre-fabricated unit, Vertiv offers a turnkey solution that simplifies the deployment process for data center operators.
The MegaMod CoolChip's ability to support "up to hundreds of kilowatts per row, up to multiple megawatts" positions it well for the power-intensive demands of AI computing. This solution could potentially reshape the landscape of AI infrastructure deployment, offering a faster path to operational readiness for organizations looking to leverage AI technologies.
However, the true impact of this solution will depend on its real-world performance, cost-effectiveness and ability to adapt to the rapidly evolving AI hardware landscape. As AI compute requirements continue to grow, solutions like the MegaMod CoolChip may become increasingly critical in bridging the gap between AI ambitions and infrastructure realities.
Vertiv's MegaMod CoolChip solution presents an intriguing proposition for improving data center sustainability, particularly in the context of energy-intensive AI workloads. The key sustainability aspects of this solution include:
- Improved Energy Efficiency: The integration of direct-to-chip liquid cooling technology has the potential to significantly enhance Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE). This is important for AI workloads, which typically generate substantial heat and require intensive cooling.
- Optimized Resource Use: The prefabricated modular approach can lead to more efficient use of materials and reduce on-site construction waste, contributing to a lower environmental impact during the deployment phase.
- Scalability: The modular nature of the solution allows for precise scaling, potentially reducing overprovisioning and associated energy waste.
- Integration of Efficient Technologies: The inclusion of high-efficiency power protection and distribution systems, such as the Vertiv Trinergy UPS, can further contribute to overall energy savings.
However, it's important to note that while these features can contribute to a lower carbon footprint, the actual environmental impact will depend on various factors, including the specific implementation, the energy mix powering the data center and the overall lifecycle management of the infrastructure.
As the AI industry continues to grow, solutions like the MegaMod CoolChip that address both performance and sustainability concerns will be crucial. The challenge lies in balancing the increasing compute demands of AI with environmental responsibility. Vertiv's approach represents a step in the right direction, but ongoing innovations and improvements in energy efficiency will be necessary to truly mitigate the environmental impact of AI's explosive growth.

Building on Vertiv’s experience developing other prefabricated modular data centers, MegaMod CoolChip is designed to address the specific requirements of AI compute through a turnkey solution that integrates Vertiv™ CoolChip technology to support direct-to-chip liquid cooling, high-efficiency power protection and distribution, and other critical digital infrastructure technologies. The solution is available globally and can be used as a modular retrofit of an existing facility or as a new freestanding data center, supporting up to hundreds of kilowatts per row, up to multiple megawatts with prefabricated units.
“MegaMod CoolChip is a fully equipped critical digital infrastructure solution that customers can deploy quickly, and with confidence,” said Viktor Petik, vice president of Vertiv infrastructure solutions. “Factory assembly and testing in a controlled environment help to accelerate the time to build, as well as providing control over cost and schedules. The addition of this solution to our portfolio provides more flexibility to successfully accelerate AI.”
Designed for AI Compute
According to the latest research by Omdia, demand for prefabricated modular and micro data center solutions has been accelerated by AI, with Vertiv being cited as a global leader. Vertiv engineers have applied successful learnings around prefabricated solutions and the needs of AI deployments to the development of Vertiv™ MegaMod™ CoolChip solutions, to support the AI requirements of today – and tomorrow. Key features of the solution include:
- High-density compute: MegaMod™ CoolChip supports IT systems from the customer’s chosen AI compute provider, including accelerated computing platforms, integrated into equipment racks with integrated plumbing and high-density Vertiv™ rack power distribution units (rPDUs). Customer selected integrated racks from AI compute providers may also be consolidated into the prefabricated units.
- High-density liquid cooling infrastructure: Vertiv™ chillers and cooling distribution units (CDUs) provide safe and efficient management of cooling fluids to and from the rack. MegaMod CoolChip uses direct-to-chip cooling for high-power CPUs and GPUs by managing heat removal from components not serviced by the direct-to-chip cold plates. The balance between liquid and air cooling is tailored to the design of the AI compute platform to optimize efficiency.
- High-efficiency power protection and distribution: Vertiv™ power technologies provide power protection and distribution from the utility to the rack, including busway, switchgear, and compatibility with the high-efficiency Vertiv™ Trinergy™ uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and the Vertiv™ PowerNexus solution, which reduces the power system footprint through close coupling of the UPS and switchgear.
- Modular assembly: MegaMod CoolChip arrives in prefabricated units, including the building enclosure and all building systems, that are assembled on site. It is also available in skid-mounted units, providing flexibility options for new builds, retrofits, and expansions. All of this is integrated in a clean and controlled factory environment, mitigating risks through assembly and testing processes.
- Single-source accountability: From initial consultation through configuration, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and lifecycle services, Vertiv manages all aspects of solution development to streamline processes, reducing demands on customer resources, and providing cost and schedule efficiencies.
The Vertiv MegaMod CoolChip solution can also enable the sustainability goals of data center operators and developers. By employing highly efficient advanced technologies, such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling and the Vertiv™ power infrastructure, MegaMod CoolChip data centers can improve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) compared to data centers using traditional technologies, resulting in a lower carbon footprint.
