Desert Dragon delivers Direct‑to‑Chip (DTC) cooling: Cold-plate DTC routes coolant directly to processor cold plates, capturing 70–80% of rack heat at source while leaving the rest of the rack — drives, NICs, ancillary boards — air-cooled. The result is liquid-grade thermal performance with the familiar operational model of an air-cooled hall: same rack form factor, same hot-aisle/cold-aisle layout, same servicing approach.
Our Next-Gen modular data center platform has been engineered to provide a flexible, scalable, and resilient deployment path designed to accommodate high-density compute infrastructure supporting even the latest release – NVIDIA GB300 class GPU’s, its predecssors, and accelerator platforms.
Cooling Flexibility: DD’s 4th-generation design natively supports direct-to-chip liquid cooling architectures compatible with leading NVIDIA GPU’s, and other high-density AI accelerator platforms, providing an engineered thermal envelope capable of managing the demands of high-density compute workloads.
Power Infrastructure: DD’s busway infrastructure is designed to meet Tier III topology requirements, delivering concurrently maintainable power distribution with redundant feed paths to support the demands of high-density compute deployments.
Copper cold plates clamp directly to GPUs and CPUs. Microchannels carry coolant through the highest-energy components.
Quick-disconnect manifold routes treated coolant to each rack. Pressure-balanced flow ensures uniform thermal envelope.
Coolant distribution unit transfers heat from the secondary loop to the chilled-water primary. N+1 configuration.
Modest in-row air handling captures ancillary heat from drives and NICs that don’t justify cold plates.
Quick-disconnects let technicians swap servers without draining the loop. Standard rack maintenance windows.
Coolant flow, return temperature, and pressure sensors feed Finblade for predictive analytics and alerting.
Desert Dragon’s DTC cooling systems are tightly integrated into facility operations and supported by advanced monitoring, maintenance, and management processes. Predictable thermal performance for AI and HPC workloads through continuously monitored cooling systems.
