A promotional graphic for a broadcast titled "Cooling AI at scale," featuring portraits and titles for Kamal Mostafavi (VP, Engineering), Neil Mulji (VP, Product), and Paul Lee (Dir. Professional Services) alongside the DCD Broadcast and CoolIT Systems logos.

This talk explores the essential role of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) in enabling scalable, high-density liquid cooling deployments. From managing flow rate and heat exchange capacity to ensuring temperature stability and redundancy, CDUs are foundational to the reliable operation of liquid-cooled data centers. CoolIT’s expert speakers, Kamal, Neil and Paul will share practical insights on selecting and deploying CDUs for performance, resilience, and sustainability. Watch the talk to:

  • Preview emerging CDU designs built to support the demands of next-generation infrastructure
  • Understand key factors that matter in CDU selection and how CDUs influence thermal efficiency and operational reliability
  • Learn from real-world deployments and lessons learned
