Bangalore, January 24, 2026 : Motivair by
Schneider Electric, a leading innovator in liquid cooling technology
for digital infrastructure, today introduced a new, industry-leading 2.5MW
Coolant Distribution Unit (CDU) designed to cool high-density data centers
reliably, at scale.
The MCDU-70 is the highest-capacity CDU available
from Motivair, and presents a breakthrough flexible and scalable solution for
meeting the rigorous demands of next-generation GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit)
and gigawatt-scale AI Factories.
Utilizing Schneider Electric’s EcoStruxure
software, Motivair’s CDUs operate as a centralized 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 is the newest addition
to Motivair’s CDU line, providing 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 10MW 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.
“AI isn’t slowing down. Our solutions are designed
to keep pace with chip and silicon evolution—delivering next-gen performance
when it matters most,” said Rich Whitmore, CEO & President of
Motivair by Schneider Electric. “Data center success now hinges on
delivering scalable, reliable, efficient infrastructure solutions that match
the next generation of AI Factory deployments. We’re meeting that moment with
proven liquid cooling solutions that scale with our customers’ needs.”
Commenting on the broader impact of next-generation
cooling infrastructure, Mr. Venkataraman Swaminathan, Vice President –
Secure Power, Greater India, Schneider Electric, said, “As
AI-driven digital infrastructure continues to scale in both capacity and
complexity, resilient and energy-efficient power and cooling solutions are
becoming foundational to data center design. Schneider Electric is focused on
enabling future-ready digital infrastructure that delivers reliability and
performance at scale, while supporting global sustainability and efficiency goals.”
With the addition of the MCDU-70, Schneider
Electric’s end-to-end liquid cooling portfolio, now
offers CDUs ranging from 105kW to 2.5MW, 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 center operators. The MCDU-70 is now available to order
globally via Schneider Electric’s advanced manufacturing hubs in North America,
Europe and Asia. For more information, visit the website.
