The Vertiv SmartMod Max CW is a prefabricated modular data center designed to address the growing demand for rapid deployment of compute. This configurable and scalable solution supports up to 200 kW of total IT load in a single system and utilizes chilled water cooling for reduced environmental impact and energy efficiency.

The SmartMod is factory assembled and tested for fast deployment and low on-site preparation and costs. The system also presents a range of customization options, including power and cooling capacities, number of racks and rack sizes, and module dimensions. This flexibility enables data centers to tailor the solution to meet their specific requirements — from small-scale operations, like edge data centers, to mid-size enterprises, government, and health care. 

Chilled water thermal management is a high-efficiency option for data center cooling and employs low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants in data center applications. The use of the technology also enables a reduction in electrical energy usage, supporting lower overall operating costs.  

"Digitalization is driving the need for more and higher capacity compute,” said Matt Weil, vice president of integrated modular solutions for Vertiv. “In parallel, customers are looking for alternatives that take advantage of high-efficiency systems. Data centers and other critical applications are looking for ways to deploy capacity quickly to remain competitive. Vertiv SmartMod Max CW addresses these challenges with a flexible and modular solution.”

The SmartMod incorporates Vertiv Liebert EXM uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system, available in power ratings of 100 kW, 150 kW, and 200 kW; in-row Vertiv Liebert thermal management units with intelligent controls; Vertiv Environet Alert monitoring system; and integrated fire suppression.
