These liquid cooling technologies support the growing demands of AI and high-density, next-generation compute to help customers deploy high-density infrastructure faster and operate more efficiently.

The Vertiv CoolChip family is a core building block of the Vertiv thermal chain, an end-to-end portfolio including direct-to-chip cooling, immersion cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, coolant distribution, heat rejection, intelligent controls, and lifecycle services into a single, cohesive thermal management system.

The newly announced solutions will be on display at Datacloud Global Congress in Cannes (June 1–4), where Vertiv will participate as a Patron Sponsor and showcase its latest technologies at booth n. 123.

“The rapid growth of AI workloads is driving a fundamental shift in how data centres are designed, cooled, powered and operated,” said Paul Ryan, president for EMEA at Vertiv. “At Datacloud Global Congress, we’re showing how Vertiv is expanding its end‑to‑end portfolio, combining high-density power solutions, liquid cooling, heat rejection, intelligent controls, and lifecycle services, to help customers deploy AI-ready infrastructure faster and operate more efficiently over time.”

As a critical link in the Vertiv thermal chain, the Vertiv CoolChip CDU 2300 is a liquid-to-liquid coolant distribution unit delivering 2.3 MW of cooling capacity in a compact footprint, offering one of the highest capacity-to-footprint ratios available in the market.

Its smaller cabinet supports flexible placement, including in‑row or in adjacent mechanical areas, helping operators reduce floor space requirements and the number of CDUs needed in large‑scale, high‑density deployments.

Vertiv CoolChip CDU systems span from 100 kW to 2.3 MW and support direct‑to‑chip liquid cooling as well as rear‑door heat exchangers.

The integrated Vertiv CoolChip CDU controller allows temperature and flow to adapt to workload demands, while features such as redundancy, unit‑to‑unit communication, and remote monitoring help enhance system availability and simplify operations.

This controller-level intelligence enables the CDU to operate in coordination with other elements of the thermal chain, enabling consistent thermal performance across the entire infrastructure.

Complementing the CDU within the thermal chain architecture, the new Vertiv CoolChip Fluid Network Row Manifolds provide the physical connectivity layer between coolant distribution units, server-level cooling hardware, and heat rejection systems.

Each manifold assembly is flushed, passivated, pressure-tested, and sealed to deliver superior cleanliness, corrosion resistance, and leak-free performance.

The configurable design provides full system compatibility across direct-to-chip cooling, immersion cooling, and rear-door heat exchangers while simplifying coolant routing. It also enables fast deployment for new builds or retrofits, helping operators scale liquid-cooling infrastructure in weeks rather than months.

Vertiv complements its portfolio with Vertiv Liquid Cooling Services, covering design support, installation, and ongoing maintenance.

This lifecycle approach is designed to help customers maximise efficiency, maintain system availability, and support consistent performance as liquid cooling becomes an integral part of modern data centre operations.

As AI data centre deployments accelerate, the infrastructure layer is under growing pressure to deliver faster and at scale.

This acquisition vertically integrates a critical structural fabrication specialisation into Vertiv’s Infrastructure Solutions business in North America, which is expected to strengthen supply capability, rapidly expand engineering and manufacturing capacity, and enhance Vertiv’s ability to deliver scalable manufactured, prefabricated, and converged infrastructure with greater speed, control, customisation, and executional discipline.

BMarko has demonstrated its differentiated structural fabrication capabilities, engineering depth, and ability to support highly customised infrastructure requirements, during prior, long-term project experience with Vertiv.

Bringing this capability in-house is expected to strengthen execution, improve material and process control, and enhance Vertiv’s ability to support customers as infrastructure requirements continue to evolve.

“AI is reshaping infrastructure requirements, with customers placing greater demands on time-to-capacity, flexibility, and efficiency across the infrastructure layer,” said Gio Albertazzi, CEO of Vertiv. “This acquisition strengthens Vertiv’s ability to help customers move faster, with better systems-level performance and control, as infrastructure demands continue to grow in complexity.”

Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Williamston, South Carolina, BMarko specialises in high-quality, custom-engineered builds, including steel and wood frames that align well with AI factory and data centre requirements.

BMarko recently expanded its engineering and fabrication facility to approximately 560,000 square feet.

This facility is located in proximity to Vertiv’s Infrastructure Solutions manufacturing operations in the region.

This partnership will expand both companies’ reach and access to advanced digital infrastructure solutions in the region.

Gbenga Adebowale, enterprise sales director for Central Africa, Vertiv, noted the important role of technological infrastructure in the world today.

“Everything is hinged on technology to run efficiently and effectively. We provide products and services that the infrastructure needs to ensure data availability at all times. At Vertiv, we pride ourselves on being a leader in everything we do,” Adebowale stated.

Vertiv, a $6.9 billion company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, has over 27,000 employees and a presence in more than 30 countries. With over five decades of experience, Vertiv has established itself as the number one provider in thermal management and three-phase large UPS systems. 

The company also leads in power switching and distribution, focusing on data centres, communication networks, and commercial industries across the globe. This wide reach is complemented by Vertiv’s portfolio, including power management, thermal management, and integrated rack solutions. 

“We have consistent partnerships with people that help us maintain our leadership,” Adebowale added, referencing the new collaboration with Coscharis Technologies. “With manufacturing and assembly locations in 22 countries, service centres, and over 240 service field engineers, we are well-equipped to support our customers worldwide.”

Adebowale elaborated on Vertiv’s portfolio, pointing to the company’s recent acquisition of E&I to provide end-to-end solutions in power management. “In thermal management, we offer small thermal systems, including role and rack cooling. We have cooling systems between racks—solutions that ensure we remain leaders in the cooling sector.”

Dr. Emomine Sunday Mukoro, managing director of Coscharis Technologies Limited, described the partnership as a family affair, one based on trust and integrity. “Coscharis is a known name in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. We have been in business for over 50 years,” Mukoro said. 

“Any organisation whose products we represent can trust that they are in capable hands. Vertiv is one such company, and we look forward to scaling up their presence in the region.”

Mukoro stressed Coscharis’ track record of growing the market share of the companies it partners with. “For example, when HP came to Nigeria, they were operating at 0.1% market share. We partnered with them and within six months, increased their market share to 15%. The same approach will be applied with Vertiv.”

He further affirmed that Coscharis Technologies is focused on providing local support to the partnership and expects huge growth in Nigeria and Ghana. “We have a footprint in both countries and aim to expand even further. I believe that bringing Vertiv into our product line will help us achieve our goal of reaching $1 billion in revenue in Nigeria and Ghana,” Mukoro added.

Speaking on business growth, Mukoro asserted Coscharis Technologies’ approach to quality: “We are very particular about which organisations we partner with when choosing to provide their suite of products and solutions. Vertiv has established an excellent level of credibility, with superior products and exceptional service levels, firmly in line with Coscharis Technologies’ focus on quality.”

Wojtek Piorko, managing director for Africa at Vertiv, said: “We are delighted to align with such a prestigious group. This partnership will provide Vertiv with another highly experienced local distributor and add to our strength within the Central African region.”

The partnership is expected to deliver faster and more efficient access to Vertiv’s innovative solutions across Nigeria and Ghana, solidifying both companies’ positions in the IT market. Adebowale said, “Together, we will ensure faster access to our solutions, and we are confident that this partnership will change the narrative in the region.”

Coscharis Technologies will offer Vertiv’s full suite of products and solutions, including uninterruptible power supply systems (UPS), power distribution units (PDUs), and integrated solutions, like rack enclosures and prefabricated data centre modules.

In conclusion, Mukoro emphasised the mutual benefits of the collaboration, stating: “We envisage our new partnership as being a symbiotic relationship, where we assist Vertiv with further growth in their Central African presence, and they provide Coscharis and our clients with innovative solutions that will enable digital transformation.”
