Colocation facilities are under increasing pressure as tenants demand higher rack densities, driven by AI, HPC, and GPU-intensive workloads. With racks pushing 30–50 kW and beyond, traditional air cooling alone cannot deliver the uptime and efficiency that colocations promise in their SLAs.
Production engineers are now tasked with implementing scalable, reliable liquid cooling strategies that protect infrastructure, satisfy diverse tenant needs, and control operating costs.
Core Benefits for Colocation Facilities
Supporting Data & Industry Trends
- Air vs. Liquid Cooling – Air remains viable for lower-density racks, but studies show racks above 20–30 kW require liquid cooling to remain efficient.
- Colocation Adoption Curve – AI tenants are driving operators to accelerate liquid deployments. Glycol-based systems like DOWFROST™ LC offer a smooth transition without requiring tenants to abandon existing hardware designs.
- Performance Validation – DOWFROST™ LC demonstrates stable thermal performance, corrosion protection, and long service life across cycling conditions typical in data center environments.
Why DOWFROST™ LC Leads the Way
When colocation providers evaluate their cooling strategies, the choice often comes down to water, glycol, or immersion fluids. DOWFROST™ LC stands out as the most practical, scalable option—delivering the efficiency of liquid cooling while avoiding the operational disruption of immersion systems. Plus, with DOWFROST™ LC, colocators gain a branded, globally trusted solution that keeps them ahead of tenant demand and positions them as liquid-ready partners in a rapidly changing industry.
