Ekovolt, a holding company focused on the development and investment in next-generation data centre infrastructure, and Midas Immersion Cooling, a US-based specialist in immersion cooling technologies, have announced their collaboration to deploy advanced cooling solutions. The collaboration is in response to the surge in intensive computing demands driven by AI and high-performance computing.
The partnership combines Ekovolt’s expertise in designing and operating AI-optimised data centre infrastructure – notably through its Voltekko development platform, which currently has a 100MW pipeline – with Midas’ innovative single-phase immersion cooling systems, which enable significantly higher compute densities while reducing energy consumption, water usage and operating costs.
The partners will evaluate opportunities to integrate immersion cooling into Ekovolt’s future data centre developments across Europe and other strategic geographies. Midas solutions also offer the significant advantage of enabling the retrofit of existing air-cooled colocation data centres into high-density infrastructure, while fully preserving their colocation operating model – a key differentiator in a rapidly evolving market.
“Midas has developed technologies that align exceptionally well with the future direction of AI infrastructure,” said Eric Sériès, Chairman of Ekovolt. “Their solutions also enable the retrofit of existing air-cooled colocation data centres to significantly improve PUE while fully preserving their colocation operating model. As we continue expanding our platform across Europe and Middle East, we are committed to working with innovative technology leaders that help us deliver higher performance, greater efficiency and more sustainable infrastructure for our customers, at pace.”
“Artificial Intelligence is fundamentally changing data centre design,” said Scott Sickmiller, Chief Executive Officer of Midas Immersion Cooling. “Our collaboration with Ekovolt represents an exciting opportunity to combine advanced immersion cooling with one of Europe’s most forward-looking AI infrastructure platforms. Together, we believe we can help accelerate the deployment of next-generation computing environments.”
