Market Definition
Data center cooling is a system of equipment, tools, processes, and techniques designed to manage and control the generation of heat by the hardware within the data centers, and the temperature of the data center infrastructure to be at an optimal level to keep the systems running and avoid downtime. Air and liquid systems are a few cooling methods used to ventilate and maintain the gadgets at their optimum temperatures. The global data center cooling market is growing quickly due to increasing data generation, adoption of cloud computing, and a rising number of hyper-scale and edge data centers. All these high power density poses a significant challenge to the cooling solutions; if not well designed, it can threaten the safety of hardware facilities, which is quite common in traditional infrastructures. The market trend is rising towards high-end liquid cooling and power-saving technologies with the implementation of environmental regulations and the need to keep down on the energy consumption and carbon emissions.
