Motivair by Schneider Electric, a leading innovator in liquid cooling technology for digital infrastructure, has introduced a new, industry-leading 2,5 MW coolant distribution unit (CDU) designed to cool high-density data centres reliably and at scale. The MCDU-70 presents a flexible and scalable solution for meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation GPUs and gigawatt-scale AI factories. Utilising Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure software, Motivair’s CDUs operate as a centralised system, meeting today’s cooling requirements with the ability to scale to 10MW+ for next-gen HPC, AI and accelerated computing workloads.
Compact and efficient, the MCDU-70 provides cooling power without compromise by preserving full flow performance and facility pressure at gigawatt scale. Its capacity aligns perfectly with the needs of large-scale facilities such as NVIDIA Omniverse DSX Blueprint, where deployments target 10 MW to reach gigawatt scale. At 2,5 MW each, six MCDU-70s can provide a 4+2 redundancy for these designs, and the unit’s capacity is fit to service NVIDIA’s GPU roadmap for the foreseeable future.
“Data centre success now hinges on delivering scalable, reliable, efficient infrastructure solutions that match the next generation of AI factory deployments. We’re meeting this with proven liquid cooling solutions that scale with our customers’ needs.” said Rich Whitmore, CEO and president of Motivair by Schneider Electric. With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider Electric’s end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio now offers CDUs ranging from 105 kW to 2,5 MW, meeting current and future performance requirements. Each CDU is scalable and integrates seamlessly with other units and Schneider Electric’s software to deliver precise and reliable cooling capacity for data centre operators.
Why grid flexibility and reliability are more important than you think Schneider Electric South Africa
Electrical Power & Protection
In South Africa the grid was never designed to accommodate large-scale rooftop solar adoption, widespread distributed generation, or the rapid growth of electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. As the electricity landscape and grid evolve, flexibility and reliability should become part of this equation.
