Microsoft to Deploy LG Cooling Systems in Its AI Data Centers

Microsoft intends to deploy LG Electronics cooling systems in its data centers. We are talking about an as yet unknown number of AI data centers that are being prepared for operation, Datacenter Dynamics reports. The partnership was announced after LG Electronics introduced an updated series of cooling solutions, combining existing and new solutions, including liquid cooling systems, in one portfolio.

Between smartphones at home, laptops at work, and smart TVs, for example, data centers play a key role in everyday life. And its cooling solutions play a crucial role in ensuring the correct operation of server equipment. LG intends to be a unique player, ready to meet the demand for relevant components for future data center projects and simplify construction with efficient turnkey offerings.

LG offers water blocks, CDUs, chillers, air conditioning systems, an intelligent cooling monitoring and management platform, and other end-to-end solutions. The company announced that it would partner with Microsoft to implement LG’s thermal management systems and cooling technology in “next-generation” data centers. The scope and scope of the deal were not disclosed.

Earlier this year, LG said it would work with Microsoft on a range of AI projects, including creating AI agents for everything from homes to transportation, hotels, and offices. The company began to push more aggressively into the data center space last year, and said it had signed a major deal for more than 100 data center chillers valued in the tens of millions of dollars.
