Advanced waterless cooling

Traditional data center cooling places heavy demand on local water resources. Edged solves this with our ThermalWorks closed-loop cooling system engineered for high-density, AI-driven workloads. It delivers powerful performance while consuming zero water in the critical markets we serve.

Traditional data center cooling consumes vast quantities of water, putting significant pressure on local resources. To address this growing issue, Edged uses our ThermalWorks modular cooling system that supports the dense AI-driven loads that are reshaping the IT industry Uptime Institute, “A technology refresh at the start of the 2020s brought a marked increase in power for the new generation of highly performing and efficient servers that are the foundation of many IT infrastructures. Looking ahead, the rise in server power and cooling needs throws any past assumptions on future power densities and cooling technologies into the air.”yet consumes no water.
