Nautilus Data Technologies has announced the expansion of its EcoCore COOL Cooling Distribution Unit (CDU) product line, introducing new solutions designed for artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) data centers. Nautilus reports that the next-generation EcoCore COOL CDUs are engineered to meet cooling demands from the rack to over 10 megawatts (MW) at the facility scale.
The updated EcoCore COOL CDU range now includes the EcoCore XCD, EcoCore FCD, and EcoCore RCD models. According to Nautilus, the EcoCore XCD is its new ultra-capacity CDU, capable of rejecting up to 10 MW of heat per containerized module and features a patented degassing system. The EcoCore FCD, the flagship facility-wide CDU, provides up to 4 MW of heat rejection per module and enables linear capacity scaling and N+ redundancy as units are added. The newly introduced EcoCore RCD serves as an in-row CDU, delivering up to 2.5 MW at the rack, allowing for flexible deployments in space-constrained environments.
Nautilus highlights that these CDUs have demonstrated over 400,000 unit hours of operational experience in production AI data centers. The platform supports all liquid-cooling methods—including direct-to-chip, immersion, rear-door, and traditional systems—while employing patented leak-prevention modes. With modular and vendor-agnostic designs, Nautilus states that CDUs can be deployed in as little as 12 to 16 weeks via regional integrators, which facilitates rapid scaling for hyperscale and colocation providers.
These liquid cooling solutions target high-density AI and HPC data centers, whether for new builds or retrofitting existing facilities. The infrastructure is designed to efficiently scale from individual racks up to full facility deployment without excessive use of white space, aligning with operator needs for flexibility and future-proofing.
The EcoCore COOL CDU family integrates with Nautilus EcoCore Infrastructure, a modular prefabricated system intended to accelerate the deployment of AI-ready data center infrastructure. Nautilus notes that this approach reduces operational expenditures and avoids costly overhauls.
“AI workloads are scaling far beyond what air cooling can handle,” said Rob Pfleging, CEO of Nautilus. “By expanding our CDU offerings, Nautilus is ensuring operators have the tools to deploy flexible, energy-efficient and future-proof cooling infrastructure wherever and however they need it.”
