Back to Podcast EpisodesPodcast #137: AI Is Forcing Data Centers to Go Liquid
Explore how 2MW liquid cooling is transforming AI data centers with new levels of efficiency, scalability, and thermal management.
If you attended Data Center World 2025 in Washington, DC, it would have been challenging to walk far before finding another liquid cooling solution. Each is unique with a special sauce. We have been following the innovations to get more from the compute side, and most solutions point to liquid cooling. One of the companies we have worked with is CoolIT. They just released the CHx2000 at DCW, and we were there to talk to Luca Cutrone, Director of Business Development at CoolIT.
Luca’s LinkedIn profile describes him as a “fun-loving technophile” with over a decade of leadership experience. Following a seven-month break, Luca joined CoolIT in January 2024, and it appears to be a great fit. Luca’s focus throughout his career has been on customer success, and he carries that mission forward in his work at CoolIT.
Brian caught up with Luka Cabrone in the CoolIT booth at Data Center World to discuss the latest innovations in liquid cooling. The conversation focused on CoolIT’s new product launches, the evolving data center cooling landscape, and the practical challenges of implementing advanced cooling solutions in today’s high-density environments. It was recorded live on the show floor.
More information about CoolIT can be found in Brian’s review of their direct liquid-cooled architecture.
