Vertiv Ranked as Global Leader in Rapidly Evolving Data Center Cooling Market
Sustainable and innovative technologies are becoming more widely adopted
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Vertiv has been ranked by technology analyst firm Omdia as the largest global supplier in a data center cooling market, which continues to undergo change and innovation. The research highlights established heat rejection technologies, such as direct expansion (DX), chilled water, and evaporative cooling, continue to dominate while also becoming more sustainable. In addition, new technologies, such as forms of liquid cooling, are predicted to grow as data center operators look for ways to further improve efficiency and deal with increasingly power-intensive compute.
The “Data Center Thermal Management Report 2020,” published in late 2020 and based on 2018 and 2019 data, states that Vertiv has a 23.5% share of the global data center cooling market — more than 10% higher than its nearest rival. The market for data center thermal technology is set to increase from $3.3 billion in 2020 to more than $4.3 billion in 2024, according to Omdia. Vertiv also leads the global market for perimeter thermal technologies, with a 37.5% market share, which is more than 20% higher than the next largest supplier.
